10 Helpful Tips
Here are some important things to remember
Check Glycol Levels
Why: Glycol is the liquid that keeps things cool. If there's not enough, the chiller can't do its job.
How: Look at the gauge or dipstick to see the level. If it's low, add more glycol.
Inspect for Leaks
Why: Leaks mean glycol is escaping, which makes the chiller less effective and can cause damage.
How: Look for wet spots or drips around the chiller. If you find any, fix the leak.
Clean the Condenser Coils
Why: The coils help remove heat. If they're dirty, the chiller has to work harder, which can cause it to break down.
How: Use a brush or vacuum to remove dust and dirt from the coils.
Monitor Temperature Settings
Why: The chiller needs to keep things at the right temperature. If it's too warm or too cold, it could be a problem.
How: Use a thermometer to check the temperature regularly and adjust the settings if needed.
Check Pump Operation
Why: The pump moves the glycol around. If it stops working, the chiller won't cool properly.
How: Listen for unusual noises and feel for vibrations. If something seems off, it might be time for a repair or replacement.
Test the Safety Controls
Why: Safety controls help prevent the chiller from overheating or freezing.
How: Test the controls according to the manufacturer’s instructions to make sure they’re working properly.
Replace Filters Regularly
Why: Filters keep dirt and debris out of the system. If they’re clogged, the chiller can’t work as efficiently.
How: Check the filters regularly and replace them as needed.
Inspect Electrical Connections
Why: Loose or damaged wires can cause the chiller to stop working or even create a fire hazard.
How: Look at the wires and connections to make sure they’re tight and in good condition.
Keep the Area Clean
Why: A clean environment prevents dust and debris from entering the chiller and causing problems.
How: Sweep and wipe down the area around the chiller regularly.
Schedule Professional Maintenance
Why: A professional can spot issues that you might miss and perform more advanced maintenance.
How: Set up regular check-ups with a qualified technician.
