SPECIFIC TASKS: Recommended Maintenance - the following are only recommended guidelines. Jobsite conditions may dictate that maintenance schedule is performed more often than recommended. The Selected Party shall review the recommended OEM and schedule for the equipment and accomplish the tasks during Preventative Maintenance. The Selected Party is to assume the unknown risks as it is a part of the Preventative Maintenance. The schedule follows the recommended maintenance schedule per the OEM.  Monthly: • For machines with e-coat condenser coils • Check condenser coils for debris; clean as necessary with Carrier approved coil cleaner. • Periodic clean water rinse, in coastal and industrial applications. • Check condenser coils for debris; clean as necessary with Carrier approved coil cleaner. • Check moisture indicating sight glass for possible refrigerant loss and presence of moisture.  Quarterly (for all machines): • Check refrigerant charge. • Check all refrigerant joints and valves for refrigerant leaks; repair as necessary. • Check chilled water flow switch operation. • Check all condenser fans for proper operation. • Check oil filter pressure drop. • Check oil separator heater operation. • Inspect pump seal, if equipped with a hydronic pump package.  Annually (for all machines): • Check all electrical connections; tighten as necessary. • Inspect all contactors and relays; replace as necessary. • Check accuracy of thermistors; replace if greater than ±2° F (1.2° C) variance from calibrated thermometer. • Check accuracy of transducers; replace if greater than ±5 psi (34.47 kPa) variance. • Check to be sure that the proper concentration of antifreeze is present in the chilled water loop, if applicable. • Verify that the chilled water loop is properly treated. • Check refrigerant filter driers for excessive pressure drop; replace as necessary. • Check chilled water strainers, clean as necessary. • Check cooler heater operation. • Check condition of condenser fan blades and that they are securely fastened to the motor shaft. • Perform Service Test to confirm operation of all components. • Check for excessive cooler approach (Leaving Chilled Water Temperature - Saturated Suction Temperature) which may indicate fouling. Clean cooler vessel if necessary. • Obtain oil analysis; change as necessary. • Chilled Water Pumps - o Monthly inspections:  Perform the following tasks whenever you check the pump during routine inspections:  Check the level and condition of the oil through the sight glass on the bearing frame.  Check for unusual noise, vibration, and bearing temperatures.  Check the pump and piping for leaks.  Analyze the vibration.  Inspect the discharge pressure.  Inspect the temperature.  Check the seal chamber and stuffing box for leaks.  Ensure that there are no leaks from the mechanical seal.  Adjust or replace the packing in the stuffing box if you notice excessive leaking. o Quarterly inspections:  Perform the following tasks every three months:  Check that the foundation and the hold-down bolts are tight.  Check the mechanical seal if the pump has been left idle, and replace as required.  Change the oil every three months (2000 operating hours) at minimum.  Change the oil more often if there are adverse atmospheric or other conditions that might contaminate or break down the oil.  Check the shaft alignment, and realign as required. o Annual inspections:  Perform the following inspections one time each year:  Check the pump capacity.  Check the pump pressure.  Check the pump power.  If the pump performance does not satisfy your process requirements, and the process requirements have not changed, then do the following: • Disassemble the pump. • Inspect it. • Replace worn parts. o Pump Maintenance Schedule:  Routine maintenance (Can be accomplished during pump operation)  Perform the following tasks whenever you perform routine maintenance: • Clean bearing bracket from any oil if found. • Check oil drain plug. • Lubricate the bearings. • Inspect suction and discharge flanges for any leak. • Inspect pump casing for any unusual damage signs. • Inspect the seal. • If the pump is offline check the coupling and its shims for any damage. • Make sure that the coupling guard s well tightened to pump base plate. • Check that motor alignment bolts are all in place. • Chilled Water Pump VFDs - o Visual Checks -  Vacuum dust and dirt from heat sink fins  Clean or replace as conditions require intake air filters (125 Hp constant torque models, 150 Hp variable torque models and larger have filters located behind the intake louver panels).  Check ventilation fans for proper operation and clean as needed.  Confirm VFD's ventilation clearances have not been obstructed  Check electrical connections and re-torque as needed. If possible, perform an IR thermal scan of the VFD's power input and power output.  Check line voltage  Check motor & output phase balance  Inspect DC buss capacitors (older drives)  Record the VFD's parameter settings using MCT-10  Confirm the VFD doors and covers are in place and properly closed o Clean the drive's interior -  Dirt coating drive circuit boards and other components can interfere with proper cooling and even provide a path for electricity to short out along unintended paths. This can cause erratic operation and possibly damage to drive components.  Corroded electrical connections can cause excess heat build-up, short circuits, erratic drive operation, and even component damage.  This should be done after the installation of the drives is complete and before power is applied to the drive. The main point here is to ensure that no metal filings or other installation-related dirt are inside the drive or its option enclosure.  If the drive is installed in an area where a lot of construction work will be performed, it is best to keep the drive covered while it is not in operation. Of course, if it is being used, the drive must be uncovered so that cooling air can be freely supplied to it. After the construction is complete it will be important to clean the interior of the drive. Low pressure, clean, dry air or similar commercial products can be used to clean dirt off of circuit boards. While a vacuum cleaner can be used to collect falling dirt, it is important to ensure that circuit boards are not damaged by the use of a powerful vacuum cleaner on the boards. Inspect drive connectors for dirt or corrosion.  In a normal environment, the drive's interior should be inspected annually and cleaned, if necessary. In dirty environments, more frequent inspection is required. The level of dirt found inside the drive can be used to dictate the frequency of inspections and cleanings that is required. • Chilled WaterLoop treatment: In-house protective monitoring requires a small initial investment and few hours of labor each year. The requisite tools and techniques are within everyone's reach. Following are step-by-step instructions for a successful program. o Drawing Samples - A sample should be drawn every three months for heated or chilled loops, and every month for steam loops, during the period the system operates. If a system runs just part of the year, sample again right before shut-down to ensure it is protected before it sits idle. System water may be analyzed right at the valve or collected and returned to a work area for analysis. A one-ounce sample is needed.  Select a faucet not used to feed chemical into system.  Open valve and allow fluid to run until its appearance stabilizes.  Fill sample bottle all the way to the top, cap tightly and close valve. o Analyzing Samples - Seven parameters must be measured, two of which are particular to chilled and steam loops. Portable probes and field test kits4 are available for five of the parameters. The remaining two are gauged by sight.  Opacity / Color: An indication of corrosion products, organic matter and particulates present. • Examine sample under good lighting. • Note opacity ("clear" or "cloudy"). • Note color ("colorless", "yellow", "pink", "rusty", "brown", etc.) • Record values. Example: "clear/colorless"  pH: A measure of acidic or basic conditions. • Make sure probe is properly calibrated (see manufacturer instructions). • Remove cap, turn on probe and submerge tip in sample. • Swirl gently until reading stabilizes. • Record value as pH. Example: "pH 9.4"  Sulfite: A measure of Sodium Sulfite in ppm. • Fill reaction tube with 25 ml of sample. • Add one drop of phenolphthalein indicator and swirl (sample will turn red). • While swirling sample, add acid-starch indicator one dipper-at-a-time until sample turns clear. • Add two more dippers of acid-starch indicator and swirl to dissolve. • Add iodide-iodate reagent one drop-at-a-time until sample turns blue. • Multiply number of iodide-iodate drops used by ten. • Record value as ppm. Example: 8 drops x 10 = "80 ppm"  Sarcosinate: A measure of Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate in ppm. • Fill sample bottle about half-full and recap. • Vigorously shake sample up and down for three seconds. • Immediately remove cap and count seconds as you watch foam dissipate. • Stop counting when clearing appears in the middle of foam. • Multiply number of seconds counted by ten. • Record value as ppm. Example: 3 seconds x 10 = "30 ppm"  Conductivity: A measure of dissolved inorganic salts in μmhos/cm. • Make sure probe is properly calibrated (see manufacturer instructions). • Swirl gently until reading stabilizes. • Record value as μmhos/cm. Example: "480 μmhos/cm"  Freeze Point: Temperature at which fluid freezes in °F (for chilled systems). • Make sure refractometer is properly calibrated (see manufacturer instructions). • Make sure the prism surface is clean and dry. • Use pipette to deposit two or three drops of sample onto surface. • Close cover and make sure no bubbles are trapped and entire surface is wetted. • Wait thirty seconds before taking reading. • Read value at junction of blue and white fields. • Record value as degrees Fahrenheit. Example: "-16 °F"  Hardness: A measure of calcium carbonate in ppm (for steam systems). • Dip strip into sample and hold for 1 second, then remove and shake off excess water. • Hold strip level, with test pad facing up, for 15 seconds. • Compare test pad color to color chart printed on bottle. • Estimate value if test pad color falls between chart colors. • Record value as ppm. Example: "13 ppm"  Correcting Chemistry - Record test results in the appropriate box and compare each to its safe zone. • If a value lies outside the safe zone, follow the action recommended for that parameter in the legend. • This completes the protective monitoring cycle. Repeat the process every three months for heated and chilled systems, and every month for steam systems. • Examples of safe-zone reports for each kind of the chilled water loop are given in the example chart below. 6.
