●Monthly

❒Inspecting cooling water treatment system

If your chiller uses a cooling water treatment system, maintain proper chemical levels and follow the recom- mendations of your water treatment specialist. Change water in the reservoir tank monthly.

❒Cleaning

Wipe all external surfaces to maintain performance.

❒Inspecting condenser

Check the condenser for adequate air flow or water flow. Check the condenser face for dirt and clogging. If dirt or clogs are present, clean the condenser. See Cleaning the Evaporator or Water-cooled Condenser, and Cleaning the Air-cooled Condenser, in the Maintenance section. If your unit has an optional filter at the air inlet of the Air-cooled condenser coil, check, clean, and replace as needed.

❒Inspecting the control panel

Check for loose wires, burned contacts, and signs of overheated wires. Check that all panel lights illumi- nate. See Checking Electrical Connections in the Maintenance section.

❒Checking refrigerant charge

Check the sight glass between the receiver and evapo- rator for proper refrigerant pressure. See Checking Refrigerant Charge, in the Maintenance section.

❒Cleaning process fluid strainer

Remove cap and clean any debris out of strainer. Replace cap.

●Semi-annual (every 6 months)

❒Cleaning the evaporator or water-cooled condenser See Cleaning the Evaporator or Water-cooled Condenser, in the Maintenance section.

❒Cleaning the tank and float switch

Drain the reservoir. Disconnect all piping from tank reservoir. Remove the float switch by loosening the nut on the float switch. Remove switch and clean. Unbolt the tank from the chiller base. Take off the tank cover and clean the reservoir. Reinstall the tank cover; rein- stall tank. Reinsert float switch, holding firmly against reservoir and tighten nut. Fill reservoir and check for leaks.
