Maintenance Monthly • Clean and replace filter • Grease cart bearings General Maintenance • Inspect: Fans & Blowers, V-belts, bearings shafts, motor covers, blower assemblies The MD-Series is designed for continuous • Inspect Vent/damper system, linkages, duty with little maintenance. However, when a actuators problem does arise, prompt repair will ensure a long life for the machine.
Coil Cleaning NOTE: These recommendations apply to all Nyle Systems DH- based drying units and may be considered a part of standard maintenance procedures for the trouble-free operation of the system.
Blower System Maintenance Electrical Panel Inspection This system should be serviced every 4-6 Before opening any electrical panel, be sure months. the electrical disconnect is in the off position and follow your specific company’s lockout The system should be checked for the following: procedures.

At the maximum operating temperature (160ºF, Nyle suggests that the refrigerant charge be 32% RH), the following approximate readings adjusted at maximum operating conditions will be noted. (160ºF, 32% RH). Do Not allow the system to exceed the maximum temperature limits.
An increase in suction gas temperature is Replacement Procedure usually related to improper refrigerant charge, improper damper operation, airflow problems, When contacting Nyle for service or or, occasionally, a compressor or expansion replacement parts, refer to the model and valve malfunction.
