MAINTENANCE FEATURES

Conair Series 1 Portable Chillers need regular, scheduled maintenance for peak performance.

To maintain the best performance of the chiller, it must be cleaned and inspected regularly. Maintenance includes a daily, monthly, and semi-annual schedule.

Use this maintenance schedule as a guide. You may need to shorten the time of the maintenance schedule, depending on how often you use the chiller. Among the features that require preventative maintenance are:

●the refrigerant system

●electrical cables, terminals, and control lights

●the condenser

●process fluid level

●evaporator

●Cooling water treatment system (if used)
