MAINTENANCE

NORMAL MAINTENANCE

Prior to any of the following maintenance proce- dures, shut off all electric power to the unit to pre- vent personal injury.

Periodic maintenance normally consists of changing or clean- ing filters and (under some conditions) cleaning the main burners

FILTERS

Inspect once a month. Replace disposable or clean perma- nent type as necessary. DO NOT replace permanent type with disposable. The dimensional size of the replacement fil- ter must be the same as the replaced filter.

MOTORS

Outdoor fan motors are permanently lubricated and require no maintenance.

Ventor motor is factory lubricated for an estimated 10 year life.

Indoor Blower Motor and Drive - The indoor blower motor fea- tures ball bearings that do not require periodic lubrication. Periodic lubrication of the motor and bearings can extend the

life of components but is optional.

Damage can occur if the bearings are overlubri- cated. Use grease sparingly.

Perform all maintenance operations on the blower motor with electric power disconnected from the unit. Do not attempt to lubricate bearings with the unit in operation.

On an annual basis, check the motor for accumulations of dust, etc. that may block the cooling slots in the motor shell. Check for loose, damaged or misaligned drive components. Check that all mounting bolts are tight. Replace defective parts as required.

If desired, every three years remove both pipe plugs at each end shell and clean out any hardened grease or foreign mat- ter. Replace one plug on each end with a clean grease fitting. Using a low pressure grease gun, pump grease (Chevron SRI-2 or equivalent) into the bearing cavity until new grease shows at the open port. Do not over lubricate. Run the motor for ten minutes until excess grease is purged from the cavity. Replace the plugs.

On 20 ton only, units are supplied with blower shaft bearings that do not require maintenance but may be relubricated if desired. Every three years, using a low pressure grease gun, pump grease into the bearing grease fitting until grease just begins to show at the seals. Do not over lubricate. Use any lithium base grease recommended for ball bearing service.

OUTDOOR COIL

Dirt should not be allowed to accumulate on the outdoor coil surface or other parts in the air circuit. Cleaning should be as often as necessary to keep coil clean. Use a brush, vacuum cleaner attachment, or other suitable means. If water is used to clean coil, be sure electric power to the unit is shut off prior to cleaning.

NOTE: Exercise care when cleaning the coil so that the coil fins are not damaged.

NOTE: Do not permit the hot condenser air discharge to be obstructed by overhanging structures of shrubs.

BURNER & PILOT

Periodically (at least annually at the beginning of each heat- ing season) make a visual check of the pilot and main burner flame. If necessary, adjust main burner primary air shutters to give a distinct, sharp blue flame as explained under BURNER AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT. If it is not possible to adjust for the proper flame, the burners may need cleaning.

TO CLEAN BURNERS

Remove them from the furnace as explained in Burner Instructions. Clean burners with hot water applied along top of the burner.

COMBUSTION AIR DISCHARGE

Visually inspect discharge outlet periodically to make sure that the buildup of soot and dirt is not excessive. If necessary, clean to maintain adequate combustion air discharge.

CLEANING FLUE PASSAGES AND HEATING ELE- MENTS

With proper combustion adjustment the heating element of a gas fired furnace will seldom need cleaning. If the element should become sooted, it can be cleaned as follows:

DHG180, DHG240 specifications

Energy Tech Laboratories has made significant strides in the realm of energy efficiency and renewable technologies with the introduction of their innovative models, the DHG240 and DHG180. These advanced devices are designed to optimize energy consumption, minimize environmental impact, and enhance overall energy management.

The DHG240 model stands out with its high-capacity performance, delivering a robust output of 240 kW. This unit is ideal for large facilities and industrial applications, where energy demands are high. One of its main features is its advanced algorithm for energy distribution, which allows for optimal load balancing across various operational units. This ensures that energy is used efficiently, reducing waste and lowering operational costs.

Similarly, the DHG180 is designed for medium-sized operations, providing an output of 180 kW. It offers an effective solution for businesses seeking to improve energy efficiency without the excessive overhead costs typically associated with larger systems. The DHG180 incorporates state-of-the-art monitoring systems that provide real-time data on energy consumption, allowing operators to make informed decisions and adjust settings as needed.

Both models integrate cutting-edge technologies such as smart grid capabilities and renewable energy sources. They are equipped to handle integration with solar panels and wind turbines, enabling facilities to harness clean energy and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. This feature not only contributes to sustainability goals but also provides a buffer against fluctuating energy prices.

The design of both the DHG240 and DHG180 prioritizes durability and reliability. They are constructed from high-quality materials that withstand harsh operational conditions, ensuring a long lifespan and reduced maintenance costs. Furthermore, these systems are compliant with various energy efficiency standards, making them a responsible choice for environmentally conscious businesses.

User-friendliness is another hallmark of these devices. An intuitive interface allows operators to easily monitor and control energy usage, while remote access compatibility enables management from off-site locations. This flexibility is crucial in today’s fast-paced business environment.

In conclusion, Energy Tech Laboratories’ DHG240 and DHG180 models represent the forefront of energy technology. By delivering high performance, integrating renewable solutions, and prioritizing ease of use, these units empower businesses to achieve their energy efficiency goals while promoting sustainability. Whether for large industries or medium-sized enterprises, these systems are engineered to meet the dynamic needs of modern energy management.
