Receiving
®
Upon receiving the product, check to make sure
all items are accounted for by referencing the bill
of lading to ensure all items were received. Inspect
each crate for shipping damage before accepting
delivery. Notify the carrier if any damage is noticed.
The carrier will make notification on the delivery
receipt acknowledging any damage to the product.
All damage should be noted on all the copies of the
bill of lading which is countersigned by the delivering
carrier. A Carrier Inspection Report should be filled
out by the carrier upon arrival and reported to the
Traffic Department. If damaged upon arrival, file claim
with carrier. Any physical damage to the unit after
acceptance is not the responsibility of manufacturer.
Unpacking
Verify that all required parts and the correct quantity
of each item have been received. If any items are
missing, report shortages to your local representative
to arrange for obtaining missing parts. Sometimes it
is not possible that all items for the unit be shipped
together due to availability of transportation and truck
space. Confirmation of shipment(s) must be limited to
only items on the bill of lading.
Handling
Units are to be rigged and moved by the lifting
brackets provided or by the skid when a forklift is
used. Location of brackets varies by model and size.
Handle in such a manner as to keep from scratching
or chipping the coating. Damaged finish may reduce
ability of unit to resist corrosion.
Storage
Units are protected against damage during shipment.
If the unit cannot be installed and operated
immediately, precautions need to be taken to prevent
deterioration of the unit during storage. The user
assumes responsibility of the unit and accessories
while in storage. The manufacturer will not be
responsible for damage during storage. These
suggestions are provided solely as a convenience to
the user.
INDOOR — The ideal environment for the storage of
units and accessories is indoors, above grade, in a
low humidity atmosphere which is sealed to prevent
the entry of blowing dust, rain, or snow. Temperatures
should be evenly maintained between 30°F (-1°C) and
110°F (43°C) (wide temperature swings may cause
condensation and “sweating” of metal parts). All
accessories must be stored indoors in a clean, dry
atmosphere.
Remove any accumulations of dirt, water, ice, or snow
and wipe dry before moving to indoor storage. To
avoid “sweating” of metal parts allow cold parts to
reach room temperature. To dry parts and packages
use a portable electric heater to get rid of any
moisture build up. Leave coverings loose to permit air
circulation and to allow for periodic inspection.
The unit should be stored at least 3½ in. (89 mm) off
the floor on wooden blocks covered with moisture
proof paper or polyethylene sheathing. Aisles between
parts and along all walls should be provided to permit
air circulation and space for inspection.
OUTDOOR — Units designed for outdoor applications
may be stored outdoors, if absolutely necessary.
Roads or aisles for portable cranes and hauling
equipment are needed.
The fan should be placed on a level surface to prevent
water from leaking into the unit. The unit should be
elevated on an adequate number of wooden blocks so
that it is above water and snow levels and has enough
blocking to prevent it from settling into soft ground.
Locate parts far enough apart to permit air circulation,
sunlight, and space for periodic inspection. To
minimize water accumulation, place all unit parts on
blocking supports so that rain water will run off.
Do not cover parts with plastic film or tarps as these
cause condensation of moisture from the air passing
through heating and cooling cycles.
Inspection and Maintenance during Storage
While in storage, inspect fans once per month. Keep a
record of inspection and maintenance performed.
If moisture or dirt accumulations are found on parts,
the source should be located and eliminated. At each
inspection, rotate the fan wheel by hand ten to fifteen
revolutions to distribute lubricant on motor. Every
three months, the fan motor should be energized. If
paint deterioration begins, consideration should be
given to touch-up or repainting. Fans with special
coatings may require special techniques for touch-up
or repair.
Machined parts coated with rust preventive should
be restored to good condition promptly if signs of
rust occur. Immediately remove the original rust
preventive coating with petroleum solvent and clean
with lint-free cloths. Polish any remaining rust from
surface with crocus cloth or fine emery paper and oil.
Do not destroy the continuity of the surfaces. Wipe
thoroughly clean with Tectyl® 506 (Ashland Inc.) or
the equivalent. For hard to reach internal surfaces or
for occasional use, consider using Tectyl® 511M Rust
Preventive or WD-40® or the equivalent.
REMOVING FROM STORAGE — As units are removed
from storage to be installed in their final location,
they should be protected and maintained in a similar
fashion, until the equipment goes into operation.
Prior to installing the unit and system components,
inspect the unit assembly to make sure it is in working
order.
1. Check all fasteners, set screws on the fan, wheel,
bearings, drive, motor base, and accessories for
tightness.
2. Rotate the fan wheel(s) by hand and assure no
parts are rubbing.

Coil Piping (optional)
IMPORTANT
Guidelines for the installation of direct expansion
cooling coils have been provided to ensure proper
performance and longevity of the coils. These are
general guidelines that may have to be tailored
to meet the specific requirements of any one job.
As always, a qualified party or individual should
perform the installation and maintenance of any coil.
Appropriate protective equipment is recommended
during the installation and maintenance of the coil.
IMPORTANT
All field-brazing and welding should be performed
using high quality materials and an inert gas purge
(such as nitrogen) to reduce oxidation of the internal
surface of the coil.
IMPORTANT
All field-piping must be self-supporting and flexible
enough to allow for the thermal expansion of the coil.
4. Install the Liquid Line and Thermal
Expansion Valve (TXV) (by others)
Liquid line openings vary by coil size and
circuiting and are field-supplied. Follow the TXV
recommendations for installation to avoid damaging
the valve. If the valve is externally equalized, use a
tubing cutter to cut off the plugged end of the factory
installed equalizer line. Use a de-burring tool to
remove any loose metal from the equalizer line and
attach it to the TXV. If the valve is internally equalized,
the factory-installed equalizer line can be left as is

5. Mount the Remote Sensing Bulb
(by others)
The expansion valve’s remote sensing bulb should be
securely strapped to the horizontal run of the suction
line at the 3 or 9 o’clock position and insulated.
6. Check Coil Piping for Leaks
Pressurize the coil to 100 psig with dry nitrogen or
other suitable gas. The coil should be left pressurized
for a minimum of 10 minutes. If the coil holds the
pressure, the hook-up can be considered leak free.
If the pressure drops by 5 psig or less, re-pressurize
the coil and wait another 10 minutes. If the pressure
drops again, there is likely one or more small leaks
which should be located and repaired. Pressure losses
greater than 5 psig indicate a large leak that should be
isolated and repaired.

Use a vacuum pump to evacuate the coil and any
interconnecting piping that has been open to the
atmosphere. Measure the vacuum in the piping using
a micron gauge located as far from the pump as
possible. Evacuate the coil to 500 microns or less,
and then close the valve between the pump and the
system. If the vacuum holds to 500 microns or less
for one minute, the system is ready to be charged or
refrigerant in another portion of the system can be
opened to the coil. A steady rise in microns would
indicate that moisture is still present and that the coil
should be further evacuated until the moisture has
been removed.
NOTE
Failure to obtain a high vacuum indicates a great
deal of moisture or a small leak. Break the vacuum
with a charge of dry nitrogen or other suitable
gas and recheck for leaks. If no leaks are found,
continue vacuuming the coil until the desired
vacuum is reached.
8. Install the Drain Line
Connect an
unobstructed drain
line to the drain
pan. A trap should
be used to prevent
sewer gas from being
drawn into the unit.
All traps must be installed below the roof line or be
otherwise protected from freezing.

Piping (optional)
IMPORTANT
Guidelines for the installation of the cooling coil
have been provided to ensure proper performance
of the coils and their longevity. These are general
guidelines that may have to be tailored to meet the
specific requirements of any one job. As always,
a qualified party or individual should perform the
installation and maintenance of the coil. Appropriate
protective equipment is recommended during the
installation and maintenance of the coil.
When installing couplings, do not apply undue
stress to the connection. Use a backup pipe
wrench to avoid breaking the weld between the coil
connection and the header.
All field-piping must be self-supporting. System
piping should be flexible enough to allow for the
thermal expansion and contraction of the coil.
1. Verify Coil Hand Designation
Check the coil hand
designation to ensure that
it matches the system.
Coils are generally plumbed
with the supply connection
located on the bottom
of the leaving air-side of
the coil and the return
connection at the top of the entering air-side of the
coil. This arrangement provides a counter flow heat
exchanger and positive coil drainage.
2. Check the Coil for Leaks
Pressurize the coil to 100 psig with dry nitrogen or
other suitable gas. The coil should be left pressurized
for a minimum of 10 minutes. If the coil holds the
pressure, the hook-up can be considered leak free.
If the pressure drops by 5 psig or less, re-pressurize
the coil and wait another 10 minutes. If the pressure
drops again, there is likely one or more small leaks
which should be located and repaired. Pressure losses
greater than 5 psig indicate a large leak that should be
isolated and repaired.
3. Connect the Supply & Return Lines

Pre Start-Up Check
Rotate the fan wheel by hand and make sure no
parts are rubbing. Check the V-belt drive for proper
alignment and tension (a guide for proper belt tension
and alignment is provided in the Belt Maintenance
section). Check fasteners, set screws and locking
collars on the fan, bearings, drive, motor base, and
accessories for tightness.
WARNING
Disconnect and lock-out all power and gas before
performing any maintenance or service to the unit.
Failure to due so could result in serious injury or
death and damage to equipment.
SPECIAL TOOLS REQUIRED
• Voltage Meter (with wire probes)
• Amperage Meter
• Pressure Gauges – (refrigerant)
• Tachometer
• Thermometer
• U-Tube Manometer
WARNING
Check the housing, blower, and ductwork for any
foreign objects before running the blower.
3. Set the Building Pressure
The pressure gauge is used to set the desired building
pressure.
The pressure is set by adjusting the knobs for the
upper and lower pressure limits. Typical settings are
0.0inch wc for the lower and 0.10 inch wc for the

NOTE
To reverse the rotation on three phase units,
disconnect and lock-out the power, then
interchange any two power leads.
NOTE
To reverse the rotation on single phase units,
disconnect and lock-out the power, then rewire the
motor per the manufacturer’s instructions.
IMPORTANT
If the blower is rotating in the wrong direction, the
unit will move some air, but will not perform as
designed. Be sure to perform a visual inspection to
guarantee the correct blower rotation.
NOTE
The most accurate way to measure the air volume is
by using a pitot traverse method downstream of the
blower. Other methods can be used but should be
proven and accurate.
IMPORTANT
Changing the air volume can significantly increase
the motor’s amps. If the air volume is changed,
the motor’s amps must be checked to prevent
overloading the motor.
NOTE
To ensure accuracy, the dampers are to be open
when measuring the air volume.
3. Check for Vibration
Check for unusual noise, vibration or overheating of
the bearings. Reference the Troubleshooting section
for corrective actions.
IMPORTANT
Excessive vibration may be experienced during
the initial start-up. Left unchecked, it can cause a
multitude of problems including structural and/or
component failure.
IMPORTANT
Generally, fan vibration and noise is transmitted
to other parts of the building by the ductwork. To
minimize this undesirable effect, the use of heavy
canvas duct connectors is recommended.
4. Motor Check
Measure the motor’s voltage, amps and RPM.
Compare to the specifications. Motor amps can be
reduced by lowering the motor RPM or increasing
system static pressure.
IMPORTANT
Additional starters and overloads may be provided
in the make-up air control center for optional
exhaust blowers. Any additional overloads must be
checked for proper voltage, amps and RPMs.
6. Set-Up Optional Components
Adjust the settings on the optional components. See
the Control Center Layout in the Reference section for
location of optional components.
• Heating Inlet Air Sensor
Typical setting: 60-70ºF
• Cooling Inlet Air Sensor
Typical setting: 75ºF
• Building Freeze Protection
Typical setting: 5 minutes; 45ºF
• Dirty Filter Gauge
Typical setting: Settings vary greatly for each
unit. See Reference section for adjusting
information.
5. Air Volume Measurement and Check
Measure the unit’s air volume (cfm) and compare it
with it’s rated air volume. If the measured air volume
is off, adjust the fan’s RPM by changing/adjusting the
drive.

IMPORTANT
For proper unit function and safety, follow the startup procedure in the exact order that it is presented.
IMPORTANT
This start-up should begin after all of the installation
procedures and the blower start-up have been
completed.
1. Check the Supply Gas Pressure
Check the supply gas pressure and compare it with
the unit’s nameplate pressure requirements. Adjust
the supply regulator as needed until the supply gas
pressure is within the specified range (see below). The
nameplate is located on the outside of the unit on the
control panel side.

pressures for maximum output
IMPORTANT
Proper air velocity over the burner is critical on
direct fired gas units. If the air velocity is not within
the unit specifications, the unit will not operate
efficiently, may have sporadic shutdowns, and may
produce excessive carbon monoxide (CO) or other
gases.
4. Set the Burner Air Pressure Differential
With all access panels in place, the fan running
and discharging 70ºF (21ºC) air, connect a U-Tube
manometer to the outer sensing probes (see below)
and measure the static pressure across the burner.

2. Check the Pilot Gas Pressure
The recommended gas pressure is 3 in. wg. Adjust the
pilot regulator as needed. See the Gas Train Layout
in the Reference section for the location of the pilot
pressure test port and pilot regulator.
3. Check the Optional High and Low Gas
Pressure Switches
Check the settings on the high and low gas pressure
switches. The high gas setting is typically 8in. wg
(2kPa) and the low gas setting is typically 3 in. wg
(0.7kPa). The switches are set at the factory and
should not need adjustment. Adjust the settings if
needed. See the Gas Train Layout diagram in the
Reference section for the high and low pressure
switch location.
IMPORTANT
The purpose of the high and low gas pressure
switches is to automatically shut down the burner
if the inlet gas pressure is too low for the burner to
safely light, or if the manifold pressure is too high for
the burner to operate properly.

NOTE
When required pressure is obtained, be sure to
reconnect the outer sensing probes.
IMPORTANT
This process may need to be repeated until the
proper pressure is achieved. This adjustment
will change the air quantity delivered by the unit
and therefore the air quantity delivered should be
rechecked. Refer to the Blower Start-Up section.
NOTE
To increase the static pressure, decrease the
opening. To decrease the static pressure, increase
the opening.

5. Set the Low Fire Time Delay
Set the low fire time delay to 75% of its maximum
setting. See corresponding image(s) for the location of
the time delay setting.
NOTE
The low fire time delay must be set high enough to
provide at least 10 seconds of low fire while the unit
tries to light.
6. Set the Maximum Firing Rate
Monitor the unit’s actual temperature rise by placing
a thermocouple in the unit’s inlet and a second in the
discharge, three duct diameters downstream of the
burner.
Send the unit to maximum fire by disconnecting and
isolating the wire connected to Terminal 3 on the
Maxitrol 14 or 44. See images on next page.
While monitoring the unit’s temperature rise, set the
maximum firing rate by adjusting the regulator until
the designed temperature rise is achieved. After
setting the maximum firing rate, reconnect the wire to
the amplifier.
NOTE
Clockwise rotation increases the temperature
rise, counterclockwise rotation decreases the
temperature rise.
NOTE
The minimum setting for the maximum firing rate
may be higher than required. This is acceptable, the
burner will modulate as needed.

7. Set the Minimum Firing Rate
Disconnect and isolate one of the wires running to
the modulating valve to send the unit to its minimum
firing rate. Set the minimum firing rate by adjusting the
needle valve.
After setting the minimum firing rate, shut off the
pilot to ensure that the flame safeguard can still read
the main flame signal. Reconnect the wire to the
modulation valve and open the pilot shut-off valve.

Model DG / DGX Pilot Ignition Make-Up Air17
Page 18
IMPORTANT
®
The proper minimum firing rate setting results in a
small ribbon of continuous flame which covers the
flame rod and runs across the entire burner.
IMPORTANT
Do not allow the disconnected wire to come in
contact with a potential ground. Damage to the
amplifier or transformer could result.
IMPORTANT
On units with a burner 42 inches or greater, the
flame safeguard will automatically shut off the pilot
after the burner has been ignited.
NOTE
Adjusting the maximum and minimum firing rate
requires the inlet air sensor to be set higher than
the outdoor air temperature in order to start the
burner(s). Once high and low fire have been set,
the inlet air sensor should be set to the desired
temperature.
NOTE
Counterclockwise rotation increases the minimum
fire rate setting, clockwise rotation decreases the
setting.
8. Set the Unit’s Operating Temperature
Set the operating temperature. The method to set the
operating temperature depends upon which Maxitrol
controller is used.
Maxitrol Series 14 - The Maxitrol Series 14 should
be set to the desired discharge temperature mode.
Place dipswitch in the “UP” position for local control
and in the “DOWN” position for remote control. Keep
LFST dipswitch in the “UP” position at all times for 10
second delay. Fig. A is required for remote control.
Maxitrol Series 44 - The Maxitrol Series 44 should
be set to the desired discharge temperature. The

2. Check the Pump Filter
Check that the pump filter is around the pump inlet.
3. Fill the Sump and Adjust the Float
Turn on the water supply and allow the sump tank to
fill. Adjust the float valve to shut-off the water supply
when the sump is filled to within 1 inch of the bottom
of the overflow.
4. Break-In the Media
Open the bleed-off valve completely and saturate
the media with the blower(s) off for no less than
20minutes.
NOTE
A jumper will need to be installed in the control
center to power the evaporative pumps with the
blower(s) off. Reference the unit’s ladder diagram to
determine proper terminals.
5. Check the Flow Rate
The pumps should provide enough water to saturate
the media in 45 to 60 seconds. Consult the factory, if
adequate flow is not achieved.

(optional)
NOTE
Blower Start-Up, Steps 1-5 should be performed
before the blower is run.
NOTE
For maintenance issues associated with variable
frequency drives, consult the drive’s manual
supplied with the unit. The drives are programmed
at the factory and should not need any adjustment
during installation and start-up. For kitchen
applications, the drive may be located in the kitchen
or in the unit.
Variable Volume Operation
The variable volume option is recommended when
a building’s exhaust volume may vary. This option
enables the make-up air volume to track with the
exhaust volume, providing only the amount of makeup air required. Control strategies include 2-speed
VFD motors and modulating blowers. Before the unit
is left in service, the variable volume control system
should be tested.
2-Speed VFD Motor
A variable frequency drive (VFD) is used on a single
speed motor to control air volumes. The VFD is
factory-programmed for 2 speed operation. It can be
switched to low or high speed from a remote control
panel. Turn the fan speed switch on the remote control
panel to each position and confirm that the fan speed
adjusts accordingly.
Modulating
Potentiometer Control - a variable frequency drive
is controlled by input from a remote
speed selector (potentiometer).
This unit allows easy manual
adjustment of make-up air
volumes. To test potentiometer
operation, turn the potentiometer
to the two extremes. With variable
volume, make sure the fan goes to
maximum and minimum speed.
When the potentiometer is at 0, the
fan speed will be at its minimum.
When the potentiometer is at 100,
the fan will be at its maximum
speed.

CAUTION
Lock-out the gas and the electrical power to the
unit before performing any maintenance or service
operations to this unit.
V-Belt Drives
V-belt drives must be checked on a regular basis for
wear, tension, alignment, and dirt accumulation.
Check the tension by measuring the deflection in the
belt as shown below.
Check the alignment by using a straight edge across
both sheaves as shown below.
IMPORTANT
Premature or frequent belt failures can be caused by
improper belt tension, or misaligned sheaves.
• Abnormally high belt tension or drive misalignment
will cause excessive bearing loads and may result
in failure of the fan and/or motor bearings.
• Abnormally low belt tension will cause squealing
on start-up, excessive belt flutter, slippage, and
overheated sheaves.
IMPORTANT
Do not pry belts on or off the sheave. Loosen belt
tension until belts can be removed by simply lifting
the belts off the sheaves.
IMPORTANT
When replacing V-belts on multiple groove drives,
all belts should be changed to provide uniform drive
loading.
IMPORTANT
Do not install new belts on worn sheaves. If the
sheaves have grooves worn in them, they must be
replaced before new belts are installed.

Bearings
The bearings for our fans are carefully selected to
match the maximum load and operating conditions
of the specific class, arrangement and fan size.
The instructions provided in this manual and those
provided by the bearing manufacturer will minimize
any bearing problems.
IMPORTANT
Lubricate bearings prior to periods of extended
shutdowns or storage and rotate shaft monthly to
aid in corrosion prevention. If the fan is stored more
than three months, purge the bearings with new
grease prior to start-up.

• If extended grease lines are present, relubricate while in
operation, only without endangering personnel.
• For ball bearings (operating) relubricate until clean grease
is seen purging at the seals. Be sure not to unseat the seal
by over lubricating.
• For ball bearings (idle) add 1-2 shots of grease up to 2
inch bore size, and 4-5 shots above 2 inch bore sizes with
a hand grease gun.
• For roller bearings add 4 shots of grease up to 2 inch bore
size, and 8 shots for 2-5 inch bore size with a hand grease
gun.
• Adjust relubrication frequency based on condition of
purged grease.
• A high quality lithium based grease conforming to NLGI

Entering Air
Motors
Motor maintenance is generally limited to cleaning
and lubrication (where applicable).
Cleaning should be limited to exterior surfaces only.
Removing dust and grease build-up on the motor
assures proper motor cooling.
Motors supplied with grease fittings should be
greased in accordance with the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
IMPORTANT
Do not allow water or solvents to enter the motor
or bearings. Motors and bearings should never be
sprayed with steam, water or solvents.
IMPORTANT
Greasing motors is only intended when fittings are
provided. Many motors are permanently lubricated,
requiring no additional lubrication.
Filters
Filter maintenance is generally limited to cleaning and
replacement.
If aluminum mesh filters are installed, they can be
washed in warm soapy water.
An adhesive spray can be added to aluminum mesh
filters to increase their efficiency.
If disposable filters are installed, they can be checked
by holding up to a light source. If light cannot pass
through the filter, it should be replaced.
IMPORTANT
When reinstalling filters, be sure to install them
with the airflow in the correct direction. An airflow
direction arrow is located on the side of the filters.
IMPORTANT
Replacement filters should be from the same
manufacturer and the same size as the original
filters provided with the unit.
Chilled Water Coils
Test the circulating fluid for sediment, corrosive
products and biological contaminants. Make the
necessary corrective measures.
Maintain adequate fluid velocities and proper filtering
of the fluid.
If automatic air vents are not utilized, periodic venting
of the coil is recommended to remove accumulated
air.
Evaporative Coolers
The media should be periodically brushed lightly with
a soft bristle brush in an up and down motion while
flushing with water. This aids in reducing the amount
of mineral build-up.
For large amounts of mineral build-up, clean or
replace the media and increase the water bleed-off or
flush rate.
The cooling media has a useful life of 3 to 5 years
depending on the water quality and the bleed-off or
flush rate.
IMPORTANT
When reinstalling the evaporative media, make sure
that it is installed correctly. Reference the drawing
shown below.
IMPORTANT
Replacement media should be from the same
manufacturer and be the same size as the original
media provided with the unit.

Inspect the coil for signs of corrosion and/or leaks.
Repair any leaks as required.
Inspect the coil’s surface for foreign material. If the
coil surface needs cleaning, clean the coil from the
leaving air-side so that foreign material will be washed
out of the coil rather than pushed farther in.
Inspect and clean the drain pan to prevent the growth
of algae and other organisms.
IMPORTANT
Be sure to read and follow the manufacturer’s
recommendations before using any cleaning fluid.
CAUTION
Caution should be used to avoid injury when venting
the coil. High pressure and/or high temperature
fluids can cause serious injuries.

Start-Up
Repeat the Blower Start-Up Step #5 and Direct Gas
Start-Up Steps #1, #2 and #3. This will ensure that the
gas and air are set properly before the heating season
begins and should lead to trouble free operation all
winter.
High Limit
The high limit switch may have tripped over the
summer; it should be checked and reset if necessary.
Burner
Inspect the burner for accumulation of scales on both
the upstream and downstream sides of the mixing
plates. Any scaling or foreign material should be
removed with a wire brush.
Visually check that all holes in the mixing plates are
clear. If any burner ports are plugged (even partially),
clear them with a piece of wire or another appropriate
tool.
Replace or tighten any loose or missing fasteners on
the mixing plates. Always use zinc plated or stainless
steel fasteners.
Inspect and clean the flame and spark rod. Occasional
replacement of the flame rod and spark rod may be
necessary to ensure optimum unit performance.
WARNING
Do not enlarge burner ports when clearing a
blockage, performance could be affected.
NOTE
Flame rods can last many years, but because of
thermal expansion of the porcelain, flame rods can
fail over time.
Gas Train
The gas connections, joints and valves should be
checked annually for tightness. Apply a soap and
water solution or other approved leak test solution to
all piping; watch for bubbling which indicates a leak.
Other leak testing methods can be used.
Evaporative Coolers
The water should be shut off and all the lines drained
when the outside temperature drops below 45ºF.
Remove drain plugs for the winter.
Clean all interior parts of any mineral deposits or
foreign materials that may have built-up during the
cooling season.
Replace any worn or non-functioning parts.
Winterizing Chilled Water Coils
During the winter, chilled water coils need to be
protected against freezing. Manufacturer recommends
protecting the coils by either blowing-out the coils or
by flushing the coils.
Blowing-Out Coils
1. Close valves on the supply and return lines.
2. Open drain valves and/or drain plug. Remove vent
plug to allow coil to drain faster.
3. After coil is fully drained, connect a blower to the
caps. Do not connect the blower to the air vent or
drain plug.
4. Close the vent plug on the header that the blower
is connected to. Open the drain valve or cap on
the other header.
5. Turn on blower for 30 minutes. Place mirror at
discharge. If the mirror fogs up, repeat procedure
until no fog appears on the mirror.
6. After drying the coil, wait a few minutes then
repeat Step #5.
7. Leave drains open and do not install plugs until
beginning of cooling season.
Flushing Coils
Manufacturer recommends the use of inhibited glycol
(such as propylene or ethylene) to flush water coils
to protect against freezing. Additionally, the use of
inhibited glycol provides corrosion protection.
The table below indicates the percentage of glycol
required to prevent freezing in a coil at a given
outdoor air freeze point. Completely fill coil with
solution. Drain coil. Residual glycol fluid per these
concentrations can be left in the coil without concern
of freezing. Recovered fluid can be used to flush other
coils.
