Pulleys and belts: - The maintenance frequency for the belts depends on the fans' operating conditions. - Check the belt tension and wear. - Check that the motor and fan pulleys are correctly aligned. Replacing the belts: - Reduce the centre distance (diagram opposite) so that the V-belt(s) can be positioned in the groove without forcing.
10.4.1 Cooling coil Maintenance: - Make sure the water inlet and outlet ducts are in good condition. Check the tightness of the connections and retighten if necessary. - If the coil is not operating, we recommend bleeding it fully. Blow all the circuits with compressed air to bleed them fully. Without this additional pressure, significant amounts of fluid may remain, posing a serious risk of damage in the event of freezing (not covered by the warranty).
Coil maintenance Before carrying out any work: - Cut the coil supplies. - Run the ventilation until the heating elements have completely cooled to ambient temperature. - Cut the fan supplies. During maintenance: - Check the general condition of the coil, - Retighten the heating element connections (tightening torque 4 Nm), - Check the condition of the heating elements for fouling, damage or corrosion, - Check that the temperature limiters are operating correctly,...
For the dampers: - Check the integrity and efficiency of the protective grilles, - Clean the dampers, repair any damage and remove any corrosion.
