RESHIPPING & LONG-TERM STORAGE PREPARATION
Reshipped systems should be protected from freezing temperatures in shipment or serious damage may occur. Freezing
temperatures can be encountered in air and over-mountain surface shipments in any month of the year. In-transit freeze-
up can occur in the recirculating coolant loop and in a water-cooled condenser's cooling loop. To protect against
freezing, all water must be removed from these circuits, or ethylene glycol must be added.
This system has a
water-cooled
refrigeration condenser. The following instructions apply to shipment or storage
preparation:
1.
Feed in a charge of water-glycol mix into the condenser through the "Condenser In" connection. This can be
done by pump or gravity flow.
2.
Feed water-glycol until mixture is visibly flowing out of the "Condenser Out" connection.
3.
Plug the "Condenser In" and "Condenser Out" fittings to avoid leakage in shipment.
4.
Since the system has been run with water, remove it from the reservoir via the "Drain" fitting. As much water
as possible should be drained from the system before shipment. Water adds significant shipping weight and
may damage electrical parts if it sloshes out of the tank.
5.
Continue to remove as much water as possible with a wet/dry vacuum to prevent ice-up in the small "nooks &
crannies" of the plumbing.
6.
Plug the "Tank In", "Tank Out" and "Drain fittings.
