Cleaning
WARNING!
Risk of serious personal injury and/or damage to air handling
unit.
Read and understand the entire chapter "1.5 General safety
messages" before working on, servicing, or inspecting the air
handling unit.
The counter-flow exchangers are designed to prevent dirt and deposits from
coming into contact with the heat transfer surfaces. Most of the particles in the
air will pass through the counter-flow exchanger. The main risk for fouling of the
counter-flow exchanger comes from slow-moving substances that condense on
the surfaces, and also from fibres from tumble dryers, for instance.
The recommended way to clean the counter-flow exchanger is by flushing with
hot water, if necessary adding some mild detergent. The counter-flow exchanger
is equipped with a drip tray that is used for collecting the water used for
flushing. Inspect the waste outlet and water trap before flushing.
BE CAREFUL!
High pressure flushing must not be directed at the fins.
Be careful in order to ensure that the fins do not become
deformed or break.
At operating temperatures below 0°C, the counter-flow exchanger must be dry
before commissioning.
