11.6 - Condenser coil
We recommend, that finned coils are inspected regularly to check
the degree of fouling. This depends on the environ-ment where
the unit is installed, and will be worse in urban and industrial
installations and near trees that shed their leaves.
For coil cleaning, two maintenance levels are used, based on the
AFNOR X60-010 standard:
Recommendations for maintenance and cleaning of round tube
plate fin (RTPF) condenser coils:
-
Regular cleaning of the coil surface is essential for correct
unit operation. Eliminating contamination and removal of
harmful residue will increase the operating life of the coils
and the unit.
-
The maintenance and cleaning procedures below are part of
the regular maintenance and will prolong the life of the coils.
Removal of fibres that obstruct the surfaces:
Fibres and dirt collected on the coil surface must be removed with
a vacuum cleaner. If you do not have a vacuum cleaner, a soft
brush with non-metallic bristles can be used instead. In all cases
cleaning must be done in the direction of the fins, as the coil surface
is easily damaged. The fins bend easily and damage the protective
coating of the coil, if cleaning is done at right angles to the fins.
NOTE: Using a water jet from a spray hose on a polluted
surface will result in fibres and dirt becoming trapped in the
coil, making cleaning more difficult. All fibres and dirt must
be removed from the surface, before using a low-speed
rinsing jet.
Periodical cleaning with clean water:
For coils installed in a coastal or industrial environment
periodical cleaning by rinsing with water is beneficial. It is
however essential that rinsing is done with a low-speed water
jet to avoid damaging the fins. Monthly cleaning as described
below is recommended.
ATTENTION
-
Chemical cleaning agents, water containing bleach,
acidic or basic cleaning agents must never be used to
clean the coil exterior or interior. These cleaning agents
may be difficult to rinse off and can accelerate corrosion
at the joint between tube and fins, where two different
materials come into contact.
-
High-speed water from a high-pressure cleaner, spray
hose or compressed air cleaner must never be used for
coil cleaning. The force of the water or air jet will bend
the fins and increase the air-side pressure drop. This
can result in reduced performance or nuisance
shutdowns of the unit.
Recommendations for maintenance and cleaning of MCHE
(microchannel) condenser coils:
-
Regular cleaning of the coil surface is essential for correct
unit operation. Eliminating contamination and removal of
harmful residue will increase the operating life of the coils
and the unit.
-
The maintenance and cleaning procedures below are part of
the regular maintenance and will prolong the life of the coils.
-
Remove foreign objects and debris attached to the coil
surface or wedged between the chassis and the supports.
-
Provide personal protection equipment including safety
glasses and/or a face mask, waterproof clothing and safety
gloves. It is recommended to wear clothing that covers the
whole body.
IMPORTANT:
-
Never use pressurised water without a large diffuser. Do
not use high-pressure cleaners for Cu/Cu and Cu/Al coils!
High pressure cleaners are only permitted for MCHE coils
(maximum permitted pressure 68 bar)
-
Concentrated and/or rotating water jets are strictly
forbidden.
-
Never use a fluid with a temperature above 45 °C to clean
the air heat exchangers.
-
Correct and frequent cleaning (approximately every three
months) will prevent 2/3 of the corrosion problems.
-
Protect the control box during cleaning operations.
-
Clean and brush with a soft a soft Nylon, PolyPro
®
or
Tynex
®
brush all the connection to remove any loose
corrosion and debris with tap water at low pressure.
11.7 - Evaporator maintenance
Check that:
-
the insulating foam is intact and securely in place.
-
the cooler heaters are operating, secure and correctly
positioned.
-
the water-side connections are clean and show no sign of
leakage.
