COMPONENT

FUNCTION

MAINTENANCE

FAN
  • Circulates air through condenser coil.
    		•
  • Check for alignment, balance and security to shaft.
  • Check for corrosion and wear.
  • Lubricate bearings and check for end play, excessive bearing temperature and unusual bearing wear.
  • Check condition of drive couplings and belts.
  • Check fan blades and clean dirt accumulation.
  • Check and tighten mounting bolts.

    • CONDENSER COIL
  • Converts refrigerant from high temp./high pressure gas to low temp./high pressure liquid.
  • Provides efficient heat transfer.
    		•
  • Clean finned surfaces.
  • Check for damage or leaks.
  • Straighten bent fins.
  • Check pipe clamps for security and vibration.
  • Measure wet bulb temperature at inlet and outlet for efficiency.

    • MOTOR
  • Provides energy source for fan.
    		•
  • Lubricate motor bearings.
  • Examine motor mount resiliency.

    • MOTOR STARTER
  • Controls on/off operation of motor.
    		•
  • Inspect starter coils and contacts.
