Chemical Cleaning.
Vogt Ice, LLC makes no recommendation for any particular chemical
reparation. The same chemical may not be effective for all situations.
! CAUTION !
The following directions and precautions should be observed
when cleaning is undertaken. The warranty on condensers is void if
they are damaged by improper cleaning tools or methods. If
harsh chemicals are used, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s
recommendations regarding safety in handling those solutions.
! CAUTION !
a)
Use only preparations from an established, reliable source.
b)
Follow directions exactly, particularly regarding amounts to use, and flushing or neutralizing
procedure after cleaning.
c)
Close the water supply stop valve. Remove the condenser water regulating valve (41).
d)
Circulate the solution through the condenser until it is considered clean.
e)
Flush the condenser according to directions.
f)
Install the water regulating valve and connecting piping.
Open the water supply stop valve and check for leaks.
Mechanical cleaning.
Part I.
a)
Close the stop valve in the water supply line.
b)
Drain the water from the condenser.
c)
Remove water regulating valve (41) and attached piping to the condenser.
d)
Remove the cover plate on the side of the frame to expose the condenser end plate.
e)
Remove the nuts, water plates, and gaskets from both ends of the condenser. If the gasket does not
lift off with the end plate, do not try to pry it off. The seal surface may be damaged, which would
cause a water leak. To free a sticking gasket, replace the water plate and tap it on the outside face
with a mallet or a block of wood. After a few taps, the gasket will spring free and will then slip off
with the water end plate.
f)
Gaskets need only be rinsed in running water: rust, scale or dirt will not stick to gasket material. A
rag or soft brush is all that is required to remove any foreign matter.
Part II.
The inside of the water end plates and the outer tube sheet surfaces should be cleaned only with clear
water and a rag or a soft bristle brush. A worn paint brush is excellent.
These surfaces have been coated with a special material which will give years of protection against
corrosion unless damaged. Never use a wire brush or a strong caustic on these surfaces.
