Totaline Environmentally Sound Coil Cleaner Application Equipment

S2-1/2 gallon garden sprayer

S Water rinse with low velocity spray nozzle

!CAUTION

UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD

Failure to follow this caution may result in accelerated corrosion of unit parts.

Harsh chemicals, household bleach or acid or basic cleaners should not be used to clean outdoor or indoor coils of any kind. These cleaners can be very difficult to rinse out of the coil and can accelerate corrosion at the fin/tube interface where dissimilar materials are in contact. If there is dirt below the surface of the coil, use the Totaline environmentally sound coil cleaner.

!CAUTION

UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD

Failure to follow this caution may result in reduced unit performance or unit shutdown.

High velocity water from a pressure washer, garden hose, or compressed air should never be used to clean a coil. The force of the water or air jet will bend the fin edges and increase airside pressure drop.

Totaline Environmentally Sound Coil Cleaner Application Instructions

1.Proper eye protection such as safety glasses is recom- mended during mixing and application.

2.Remove all surface loaded fibers and dirt with a vacu- um

cleaner as described above.

3.Thoroughly wet finned surfaces with clean water and a low velocity garden hose, being careful not to bend fins.

4.Mix Totaline environmentally sound coil cleaner in a 2-1/2 gallon garden sprayer according to the instruc- tions included with the cleaner. The optimum solution temperature is 100_F.

NOTE: Do NOT USE water in excess of 130_F, as the enzymatic activity will be destroyed.

5.Thoroughly apply Totaline environmentally sound coil cleaner solution to all coil surfaces including finned area, tube sheets and coil headers.
