Filter Removal and Service
Kooltronic Heat Exchanger feature an easily removable inlet filter to
facilitate necessary cleaning.
1)
Move the filter forward, using attached tab, to clear the
near filter retainer. Pull the filter downward and toward you until the
far side of the filter clears the far filter retainer.
2)
After removal, the filter should be flushed under warm running water
with the clean side up, driving contaminants out the dirty side of the
filter. If the accumulated dirt is oily, washing in a detergent bath is
recommended, followed by warm water rinse as above.
3)
The filter may be sprayed with
Kooltronic A-16 Filter Recoating
Adhesive
to trap fine airborne contaminants, or they can simply
be dried and reinstalled as strainer type filters.
Recoating
is recommended for the best results.
4)
Reinstall the filter: (a) Holding the tab, slide the filter into the near
retainer, (b) press filter against the unit and (c) slide forward into
far retainer.
CAUTION
Do not operate the Heat Exchanger for extended periods
of time with the filter removed. The heat exchanger element
may become clogged with dust or lint from the ambient
environment. A clogged heat exchanger element is not
readily detected and will give the same reaction as clogged
filter. A clean filter is the best protection.
VIII. Packing Procedure
Keep Heat Exchanger in proper upright position.
Pack Heat Exchanger in an appropriate carton (preferably original carton if possible),
with adequate internal protective packaging, making sure carton is marked properly.
For local controlled transportation, strap carton where possible, to a secure part of
truck to prevent falling or sliding, minimizing vibration, etc.
For common carrier shipment, band unit(s) securely to a pallet. Unpalletized ship-
ment risks severe damage which voids the warranty.
