How to Conduct Chiller Maintenance 2019-07-01
In the event that these controls fail, the system can be set to shut down. This avoids more serious machine damage that could affect the health of those around. Next, inspect condenser coils for any buildup of dirt and debris. A clean coil will provide better airflow to promote more efficient heat transfer. Liquid-cooled chillers ensure your equipment stays at the right temperature without disturbing the air like chillers that use fans. Problems start with decreased efficiency progressing to leaks and ultimately catastrophic failure, resulting in downtime and costly repair or replacement. Loss of cooling leads to uncomfortable occupants, negatively impacts manufacturing process and hurts data center reliability. Furthermore, these effects can threaten lives of patients in hospitals. Every maintenance and engineering department should undertake such practices, says James Piper, a consultant with more than 25 years of experience in maintenance, engineering and facility management.
