B. Wye Strainer for Cooler
A wye-strainer is provided to strain water before it enters the cooler's water inlet. The
wye strainer requires regular inspection, and should be in an easily accessible
location for inspection, removal, and cleaning.
Caution: Waterous is not responsible for damage due to plugged strainers. If
the customer's water system contains excessive debris, or the vehicle
relies on drafting for its water supply, it may be necessary to install a
larger strainer and/or a clean-out valve on the wye-strainer.
Without good water flow through the heat exchanger, the compressor
will overheat. Compressor performance will be inadequate, and it may
fail completely.
Omitting the Wye-strainer or removing the screen from the Wye does
not improve water flow. It will allow debris into the cooler, which can
clog the tiny heat exchanger tubes and restrict water flow.
