10.6 Facility Fluid and Piping Maintenance for Water and Glycol Systems
Maintaining the system fluid quality is required throughout the life of the system. Fluid and piping system maintenance
schedules must be established and performed. A coolant-fluid maintenance program must be established that will evaluate
fluid chemistry and apply necessary treatment. The complexity of water/glycol solution condition problems and the
variations of required treatment programs make it extremely important to obtain the advice of a competent and
experienced water-treatment specialist and follow a regularly-scheduled coolant-fluid system-maintenance program.
Perform periodic inspections of the facility and the unit coil and/or heat exchanger and coolant-fluid piping system for leaks
and visible damage.
