Recommended maintenance and
monitoring programme
Baltimore Aircoil Company equipment needs to be properly installed, operated and maintained. Documentation of
the equipment used, including a drawing, technical data sheet and this manual should be kept on record. To
achieve long, trouble-free and safe operation, it is necessary to establish an operating plan including a programme
of regular inspection, monitoring and maintenance. All inspections, maintenance and monitoring actions should be
recorded in a cooling system logbook. The operating and maintenance instructions published here can be used as
a guide to achieve these goals.
In addition to establishing the operating plan and the cooling system logbook it is recommended to conduct a
cooling system risk analysis, preferably by an independent third party.
For the cooling system, scale, corrosion and biological control must be established and initiated when the system
is first filled with water and administered on a regular basis thereafter in accordance with recognized Codes of
Practice, (such as EUROVENT 9 - 5/6, ACOP HSC L8, Guide des bonnes pratiques, Legionella et tours
aéroréfrigérantes, etc.). Water sampling, test results and corrective actions should be recorded in the cooling
system logbook.
For more specific recommendations on keeping your cooling system efficient and safe, contact your local BAC
Balticare service provider or representative. Name, e-mail and phone number can be found on the website
