MAINTENANCE OF INTERCOOLERS
1/3
1.
INTRODUCTION
This document describes the correct maintenance procedure for
Kohler
intercoolers.
2.
CLEANING THE INTERCOOLER
Kohler
has designed and manufactured its intercoolers with a view to minimising the necessary maintenance
operations.
Therefore, no special maintenance process other than cleaning is necessary for operating the intercooler.
Cleaning specifically implies:
-
cleaning the set of plates
-
cleaning the water pipes
-
plugging the water pipes
Different intercooler models
2.1. Cleaning the set of plates
Excessive dirt build-up on the plate surface reduces the performance of the intercooler considerably. Dirt on the
plates also leads to a pressure drop in the air stream that flows through the cooling core.
To clean the intercooler, it is necessary to remove the cooling core from the air pipework (see section 3). Next,
clean the plates with a jet of warm water.
PRECAUCION
When performing this operation, take care not to damage the plates. Direct the water jet parallel to the
plates.
