Maintenance and cleaning

In the following sections, the maintenance is described, which is required for optimal and trouble-free operation. If you have questions about maintenance work and intervals contact the manufacturer. Connections for higher currents must be checked for clean contacting and mechanical strength (tensile test).

11.1Cooling water pressure check

Manometer for the pressure measurement (must be in range 1..3 bar) and water refill connection 1/2"

11.2Fill the cooling water

If the internal pressure drops below 1 bar, the internal cooling circuit must be refilled. To do so, connect a tube with ½“ fitting to the refill connection (see picture above) and fill with a water/glycol mixture with a pressure of at least 3 bar.

Optimum mixture is:

  • 25% glycol
  • 75% clean water

Open the valve behind the refill connection to let water/glycol mixture flow into the internal buffer. Close the valve when the manometer shows 2,5 bar. Disconnect the filling tube, and clean remnants of eventually spilled water/glycol.

11.3Cleaning

Switch off system before cleaning, service and maintenance and measures and secure against immediate restart.

Cool off system before cleaning and service.

The surface of devices can be cleaned with a damp cloth.

If water or is present in the drip pan, absorb it with a dry cloth.
