GC Series Central Chillers Chapter 5: Maintenance 44 of 79
5-5 Evaporator Process Strainer
The evaporatorstrainer requires periodic cleaning of its screen to insure the proper flow
through the evaporator. To clean the strainer screen,
1. Close the evaporator inlet and outlet
butterfly valves on the back of the
unit.
2. Open the ball valves on the sensor
caps to drain the evaporator.
3. Remove the clip that holds the top
sensor cap to the evaporator.
4. Remove the sensor cap off the
evaporator.
5. Remove the strainer out of the
evaporator.
6. Wipe, brush, or vacuum out any dirt
left in the evaporator.
7. Clean the screen and replace it in the
strainer taking care to fit it squarely into the machined seat provided.
Caution! Do not forget to re-install the screen after cleaning it. Operating the chiller
with no strainer screen can potentially plug the evaporator with dirt. The
warranty does not cover chiller failures from a dirty evaporator.
Should the screen be damaged contact ACS Customer Service Group and purchase the screen
associated with the size of chiller.
