EQUIPMENT WINTERIZATION PROCEDURE
1. Isolate the chiller from the tank using the gate valves
shown in plumbing diagram on the previous page and
completely drain the fluid plumbing by removing the
factory installed plugs. There are a total of 3 plugs, plug
1 is located on the head of the pump and plugs 2 & 3 are
located on the opposite end of the chiller on the header
caps.
2. Once the chiller has completely drained, unhook the fluid
circulation lines from the chiller inlet and outlet.
3. Place a submersible pump into a container and fill with
an appropriate blend of antifreeze and water to protect
against the desired ambient temperature. Connect the
submersible pump to the bottom header drain (plug 3
location) and a second line extending from the container
to the top header drain (plug 2 location.)
Replace the
plug on the pump head before circulating the fluid
mixture.
4. When the pump begins displacing the fluid from
the container, continue to refill until the antifreeze
mixture circulates back to the container or until the
pump can run with out gulping air. Allow the
mixture to circulate for 5 to 10 mins.
5. Test the newly circulated mixture with an
antifreeze hydrometer to ensure protection. Add
antifreeze if needed and continue circulating to hit
the desired protection level.
6.
Once the proper concentration is achieved, allow
the mixture to drain back into a storage tank and
place caps on the chiller connections. Lastly, close
all valves to prevent anything from entering the
fluid circuit.
