14. Daily Maintenance

! WARNING
All routine and maintenance on the machine must be carried out solely by qualify-
ed personnel who have experience with this type of equipment. In guarantee peri-
od, DAKIN does not bear the cost for system fault without correct maintenance.

! CAUTION
Please copy appendix 1~3 in this operation manual and fill the daily maintena-
nce record.

Please maintain the unit according to the following list:

15. Long Idle Period Maintenance

! CAUTION
If the unit is to be left idle for a long time in winter, completely drain water in the
system through the drain valve, otherwise the water side heat exchanger and
pipes may be damaged due to freezing.

If the unit is to be left idle for a long time, completely drain water in the pipes and the
unit. Otherwise water leakage and damages to the heat exchanger may occur due to freezing.
Especially in winter, water in idle units must be completely drained. You can also fill up the wat-
er system with antifreeze liquid after shutting down the unit. Contact DAIKIN for detailed
informa- tion about the density of the antifreeze liquid.
The power supply must be cut off; otherwise the electric heater in the crankcase is still
powered up and may waste energy.
Before starting the unit that is left idle for a long time, power up the unit 24 hours
beforehand. This ensures that the electric heater in the crankcase is powered up and that the
compressor is heated and conditioned for smooth operation.

5.Suction superheat and discharge superheat(Suction superheat should be higher than 2℃ and discharge superheat should be higher than 10℃.)
1. The color of refrigerant oil (New oil is clean. If the oil color shows puce or muddy, it is necessary to change the oil. If the oil color shows black, it is necessary to check the oil

2. Check the liquid level and the color of the sight glass near the filter drier (If the test paper turns yellow, it means that water content in refrigerant is over standard. Normally,

3. Check leakage in the refrigerant circle (is there oil around the pipes or any noise of leaking?)
4. Check the oil pressure drop (the difference between discharge pressure and oil pressure should be less than 1.0 bar; otherwise it is necessary to check the compressor.)
