Adiabatic Gas Cooler General Maintenance

Air Cooled Condensers/Gas Coolers have coils which need to be cleaned regularly. When these coils are full of atmospheric pollution, the airflow will drop greatly.

    Sump and Water Collection Gutters Maintenance

    When performing the quarterly maintenance, the sump and water collection gutters should be inspected and cleaned as sediment can collect during typical operation. Water is collected in the Type 304 Stainless Steel sump and water collection gutters. The procedure is as follows:

    Strainer and Pump Maintenance

    The strainer at the pump is sized to keep debris out of the water distribution system, however if cleaning is necessary, both the pump and strainer can be cleaned during adiabatic operation. However, before performing any maintenance on the pumps beyond cleaning, cut the power to the pumps in the electrical panel first. Adiabatic operation can be controlled through the controller’s maintenance menu. The procedure is as follows:

    Water Treatment

    The sump, water distribution system, and gutters are automatically drained every 24 hours, which reduces the risk of microbiological contamination. Therefore, Trillium Series™ Adiabatic Products may not require water treatment. Check your local codes for treatment requirements. The drained water may be suitable for non-potable use such as irrigation. Refer to local codes and regulations to determine allowable uses. In applications where hard water is supplied to the unit, a good quality water softener may extend the lift of the Pre-Cooler Pads. The Pre-Cooler Pads have been treated with an algaecide to minimize the potential for algae growth. In cases where excessive fouling is observed and is suspected to be interfering with the airflow, the Pre-Cooler Pads should be cleaned and/or changed more frequently.

    Coil Maintenance

    Coil types will vary depending on the model and design. Proper coil maintenance should be followed regardless of coil type.
