Spring Cleaning – 3 Steps you Can Take to Prepare your Cooling Units for the Stress of the Summer Heat
With hotter temperatures just around the corner we’ve put together this Preventative Maintenance Video to help you prepare your enclosure cooling units for the stress of summer heat.
To avoid any critical component failure, follow the 3 simple steps below to help ensure your enclosure cooling units stay up running all summer. Don’t Wait Until it’s Too Late!
STEP 1: Make Sure your Condenser Coils are Clean
The condenser coils are one of the most important components of your Cooling Unit, they ensure the reliable, cost efficient and long-term operation of your unit. When dirt, dust or debris builds up on your condenser coils, it can have a major effect on the performance of your cooling unit.
STEP 2: Check your Fan Motors and Inside/Outside Electrical Components
In order to prevent failure, the cooling unit’s fan motor and fan blades need to be inspected to determine wear and damage. All the electrical components in the control box also need to be checked to make sure all connections aren’t damaged or loose.
STEP 3: Set your Unit to the Recommended Proper Temperature
Pfannenberg sets the dip-switches on the control board to 95°F/35°C in the factory, and recommends that the dip switch settings are not altered.
*Having the dip-switch temperature set to a lower point can cause damage not only to the cooling unit, but to the composure as well. Changing the set point can cause the cooling unit to run excessively, possibly causing damage to the compressor and other components. It can also cause the enclosure to produce condensate, possibly damaging electrical components inside the cabinet.
