Maintenance
Chemically Cleaning The Evaporator
The chilled water system is a closed-loop and therefore should not
accumulate scale or sludge. If the chiller becomes fouled, first attempt to
dislodge the material by backflushing the system. If unsuccessful after
several attempts, chemically clean the evaporator.
CAUTION
Equipment Damage!
Do not use an acid type cleaning agent that will damage steel,
galvanized steel, polypropylene, or internal copper components.
With this information, water treatment firms will be able to recommend a
suitable chemical for use in this system.

supplier of the cleaning chemicals must provide or approve:
