CONDENSER COIL CLEANING
Note: It is best to get an air conditioning expert familiar
with marine a/c to do the periodic maintenance
mentioned below. The information will assist the
technician.
1.
With the system turned off at the ship’s AC electrical
panel, disconnect the inlet and outlet connections of the
condenser coil.
2. Use chemical resistant hoses (MAS white PVC 5/8”
I.D., etc.) to connect the inlet of the condenser coil to the
outlet of a chemical resistant, submersible pump (MAS
P-500 pump, etc.) and let the hose connected to the coil
outlet fl ow freely into the container mentioned below.
3. Place a strainer or piece of screen over the inlet of the
pump and submerse the pump into a container fi lled
with a 5% solution of muriatic or hydrochloric acid and
fresh water or use a premixed over-the-counter solution.
Use as large a container as possible to hold the solution
(2 to 5 gallons).
4. Power the pump and circulate the solution through the
condensor coil for 15-45 minutes depending on the size
of the coils and the extent of the contamination. Visual
inspection of the solution in the container should indicate
when the contamination removal has stopped.
CAUTION
!
5. Circulate fresh water through the coil to fl ush any
residual acid from the system.
6. Restart the system and check operational parameters
to ensure thorough cleaning has taken place. Additional
cleaning may be necessary with extreme contamination.
NOTICE
AIR FILTERS
Check the A/C system air fi lters monthly. To clean the
fi lter, remove it from the unit, rinse with water, air dry
and reinstall. See chapter 7 for fi lter locations.
