COOLER AND CONDENSER
The major por tion of maintenance on the condenser and
cooler will deal with the maintaining of the water side
of the con dens er and cooler in a clean condition.
The use of un treat ed water in cool ing tow ers, closed
water systems, etc. frequently re sults in one or more of
the following:
1. Scale Formation
2. Corrosion or Rusting
3. Slime and Algae Formation
It is there fore to the beneÞ t of the user to provide for
proper water treatment to provide for a longer and more
economical life of the equipment. The following rec-
om men da tion should be fol lowed in de ter min ing the
con di tion of the water side of the condenser and cooler
tubes.
1. The condenser tubes should be cleaned annually or
earlier if conditions warrant. If the temperature dif-
fer ence be tween the water off the con dens er and the
condenser liquid temperature is more than 4° great er
than the dif fer ence recorded on a new unit it is a good
in di ca tion that the condenser tubes re quire clean ing.
They should be cleaned as instructed on page 143 of
this manual.
2. The cooler tubes under normal cir cum stanc es will
not require cleaning. If how ev er the temperature
difference between the re frig er ant and the chilled
wa ter increases slowly over the op er at ing season, it
is an indication that the cooler tubes may be fouling
or that there may be a water by-pass in the water box
requiring gasket re place ment.
