Man D 2866 E Operating Instructions Manual page 40

D Fill the container with undiluted original
pickling fluid at room temperature (Lith-
solventsäure or engine pickling fluid
RB-06) until the tube bundle is com-
pletely immersed
D Allow the pickling fluid to work approx.
10 hours. If this time is not sufficient,
continue the pickling process for up to
5 hours
D Pickling can be shortened by heating
up the fluid (max 50°C) and by oc-
casionally moving the tube bundle
D After pickling thoroughly flush the
bundle with tap water and reinstall in
the heat exchanger
D Use new gaskets (O-seals)
D Mount the heat exchanger on the en-
gine and check for tightness
Note:
The variety of dirt deposits may also
create problems for the method of
pickling described above. In such
cases, we ask you to first of all submit
a specimen of the deposit for further
examination.
Damaged tube bundles may develop
leaks when dirt deposits are removed.
Maintenance and care
Filler caps and working valves of cool-
ing system
The rubber gaskets of the filler caps and
working valves (negative pressure and
positive pressure valves) of the cooling
system are subject to natural aging.
To preclude leakages in the cooling sys-
tem and tailing pressure drop and its
consequences up to severe engine dam-
age, renew the filler caps and working
valves in line with the change of coolant
(every two years at the latest).
Waste water treatment
Drained and spent cleaning and pickling
fluid should be brought up to a pH value
of 7.5 to 8.5 with the aid of caustic soda.
Once the precipitation has settled to the
bottom of the container the clear fluid
above can be dumped into the sewer. The
sludge at the bottom should be taken to a
special waste dump. Anyway, it is recom-
mended to consult the local authorities for
more information about waste water rules
or restrictions.
