On units with sight glasses, check for bubbles.  There should be no foaming under steady state 
operation. 

 

Water Cooled Condensers - With time, condensers can foul with mineral deposits from the water, 
resulting in a reduced heat transfer capacity and increased refrigerant head pressure.  Should this 
condition occur, the condenser coil should be chemically cleaned or replaced. 
 
Air Cooled Condensers – The external surface of finned coils can be cleaned using a low pressure 
water spray and a brush.  Coil fins are easily damaged.  Do not use high pressure steam or water to 
clean coils; it will permanently damage the coil.  When using cleaning additives or solutions they 
must be compatible with the coil materials or coatings.  Use a fin comb to straighten any damaged 
or bent fins. 

 

Inspect refrigerant lines for evidence of oil leaks. 

 

Check condenser fans and tighten set screws.   

 
NOTE: Air flow is restricted by dirty coils, dirty filters, slipping fan belts etc. This will reduce cooling 
capacity and coil frosting can occur.  

ROTOLOCK FITTINGS

 

It is recommended that systems with compressor Rotolock fittings be checked for tightness according to compressor 
manufacturers recommended torque at the start of every cooling season. If the fittings are found to be loose, they 
may need to be re-torqued at increased intervals. 

Pressure Controls  

Encapsulated pressure controls have fixed settings and are not adjustable. Most pressure controls have 
the setpoint marked directly on the control. The following table shows typical cut in and cut out setpoint 
using saturated temperature; refer to refrigerant specific saturated temperature/pressure tables to 
convert to pressure.

typical settings. Refer directly to mounted pressure controls, wiring diagram and/or unit function for 
specific details.
