Freeze Protection

When the flow passage of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger is frozen up, it would cause
serious damage to the heat exchanger, such as cracking and leakage which are out of
warranty, therefore, the user should take measures stated below for freeze protection：
(1)In order to make sure the unit can automatically perform defrosting under low
temperature, the water pump must be interlocked with the unit.
(2)(1) Under subzero condition, when the unit is required to perform cooling, anti-freeze
liquid should be added into the water system based on the table below.
(3)Under subzero condition, when the unit is not required to perform cooling for a short
term, the unit should be powered on; when the unit is not required to perform cooling
for quite a long term, disconnect the power supply and then drain the shell and tube
completely.

Notes:
(1)This table is cited from Design Manual for Practical Refrigeration Engineering
published by China Architecture Industry Press. If physical data of the glycol has been
provided by the manufacturer, it always prevails.
(2)Once the glycol is taken as the second refrigerant, its initial freezing temperature of the
glycol solution should be 2~3℃ lower than the lowest environment temperature.

Rountine Maintenance

Routine maintenance shall be performed periodically by the qualified technician so as to
extend the service life of the unit and lower the possibility of occurrence of faults.
Record weekly the running status of the unit to facilitate troubleshooting for the servicemen.
■ Daily Maintenance
(1)Check the circulating water pump and the flow rate.
(2)Check the voltage and power supply.
