General Maintenance Information
The services required to maintain a piece of evaporative cooling equipment are primarily a function of the quality of the air and
water in the locality of the installation:
•
AIR: The unit should be located such that unusual quantities of industrial smoke, chemical fumes, salt, or heavy dust do
not enter the equipment. Such airborne impurities entering into the equipment and absorbed by the recirculating water,
which can form a corrosive solution.
•
WATER: As water evaporates from the equipment, dissolved solids from the make-up water are left behind. These
dissolved solids may be either alkaline or acidic, and as they are concentrated in the circulating water, they can cause
scaling or accelerated corrosion.
The extent of impurities in the air and water determines the frequency of most maintenance services and governs the extent of
water treatment which can vary from a simple continuous bleed and biological control to a sophisticated treatment system.
Refer to section Water Treatment on Page 30 and section Biological Control on Page 33 for more details.
Please refer to the Limitation of Warranties in the submittal packet applicable to and in effect at the time of the sale/purchase of
