MAINTENANCE A good planned program of regularly scheduled maintenance will return dividends in averting possible costly and unexpected periods of down time, It is the responsibility of the owner to provide the necessary maintenance for the air handling units. If a system failure occurs due to improper maintenance during the warranty period, YORK will not be liable for costs incurred to return the unit to satisfactory operation. Maintenance must always be carried out by experienced and fully trained staff, These staff should be fully aware of the safety regulation and associated laws in the country of installation. All YSM/YDM units come with access panels to enale one to perform the necessary maintenance. Beside the access panels, all the other panels are removable by simply remove the rubber strips and alumi panel frames, to provide access to various components which in time may require replacement. FILTERS Every month check the cleanliness of filter and replace or clean as required. Disposable filters shall bbe changed before they are completely clogged. Cleanable filters shall be cleaned with water and detergent and then blow compressed air to dry. Since filter life depends mostly on the environment, no rule can be mentioned regarding the time to change the filters. The best policy is to change filters on a schedule. Dirty filters reduce air flow as well as unit performance. COILS Coils shall be cleaned of dust, dirt, or lint with compressed air, water or steam. They can be brushed with a soft brush and vacuum cleaner. Never use hot water or steam for DX coil cleaning because of pressure build-up inside the tubes. Water coils not used during winter shall be drained, or antifreezing solution added to avoid freezing. Caution : Never use hot water or steam for DX coit cleaning. Inspect the condensate drain pan to ensure that it is clearand free. Clean the drain pan if necessary. LUBRICATION Bearings insert in rubber mounts or on upright support, without lubrication point are sealed for life. Bearings mounted on upright supports with lubrication point can be further lubricated when required. Many factors can determine when re-lubrication of the bearings is required. The type and dimension of bearing, it's operating speed, the — working temperature, the type of grease and the working environment. It is therefore only possible to give some indication base on rotational speed. Refer Table 15 as guide for lubrication schedule. ‘Operation Speed | _ Lubrication Interval 700 RPM Every 6 Months 1500 RPM Every 4 Months 2300 RPM Every 2 Months 3000 RPM Monthly Over 3000 RPM Weekly Table 15. Lubrication Period Above figures are for normal operating conditions (clean, and dry environment with temperatures between 23 and 176 degrees, F), for other con bearing shall be greased more frequently, To re-lubricate it is necessary to use the same grease as that employed at the initial lubrication such as lithium based grease as Standard DIN 51823, K3N, or ISO XM2. These are suitable for all bearings fitted to standard fans. Caution - Do not use detergent grease. Do not over lubricate bearings. If the unit contains variable inlet vanes, lubricate the bearings at each end of the variable inlet vanes blades after cleaning any dust or dirt from around each bearing, DRIVE PACKAGES. Fan drive consists of one or several belts, fan pulley, motor pulley, motor, and motor base. All motors are mounted on bases with slotted rails and bolts and are adjustable for belt tensioning. Every six months, check the belt tension as described in the installation section of these instructions. All belt and pulleys, after a certain amount of time, have a normal wear which starts loosening them, This is adjusted by increasing the distance between the pulley centres with the bolts at motor base. Before installing new belts, clean the pulleys, of dirt and oil, Do not use anti-slip substance on these belts. If with adequate tension they slip, use a good quality belt cleaner. 0When it is necessary to replace new belts, replace them with same belt size and brand. Be sure that belts correspond to the pulley grooves (See Figure 12), In multiple belt drive, change belts in complete set only. Do not mix used and new belt. INCORRECT INCORRECT correc Figure 12. Belt Installation It is very important to verify pulley alignment. The alignment can be done very easily as described in the installation section of these instructions REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF COMPONENTS: FANS. To remove the fans from casing, proceed with the following steps: 1. Tum off the power supply, disconnect the clectrical wiring if necessary. 2.Open the access door, or/and remove the panel to provide sufficient space for fan to be remove, 3. Loosen bolts at motor base and take off belts and fan pulley. Remove the motor if it is to remove fan from the motor side 4, Remove the canvas connection from the fan discharge 5. Remove the bolts and nuts from fan mounting frame. 6. Then take off the fan carefully, do not hit, damage, bend, or scratch components or the casing panels, To replace new fan, reverse the above steps. It is importance not to subject the fan's shaft or bearing to Joads during installation. SHAFT AND BEARINGS When changing shaft and/or bearings. Repeat the above step | to 3. Then: 1g 1. The location of the clamps, fan wheel, and shaft ‘must be marked so that each of these components can be re-assembled in the same location. 2.1f bearings are to be changed, loosen the set screws and disassemble grease connections, 3. Loosen set screws of fans and take off keys. 4. Support the fans properly, 5.Clean the shaft thoroughly (if damaged, file imperfections before attempting to extract). 6.Carefully slide out the shaft through fans and bearings. Do not scratch or bend shaft. 7.1f bearings are to be changed, remove the bolts to free the bearings. To replace these components reverse the above steps with the following recommendations. |. Bearing alignment shall be perfect (the shaft can be used to align them). 2. When installing shaft be sure that it is free of dust, seratches or bends 3. Install and tighten all set screws on bearings and fans, 4.Be careful no to hit, damage, bend or scratch components during disassembly and assembly in order to avoid balancing problems. COILS Coils are assembled to unit with screws through holes in coil buffles and holding brackets. In order to disassemble a coil: 1. Disconnect coil piping and the panel at each end of coil 2. Remove screws from the coil buffles and holding brackets. Be sure to support the coil before taking off all screws: 3. In cases where two coils are stacked, remove the drip pan which joining the two coils together. 4. Slide the coil laterally together with drain pan in the direction of connection side, For stacked coils, the coils can be removed as a single unit or individually. For DX coils it shall be advisable to pump refrigerant into the condenser. If this is not feasible, reftigerant shall be purged. Do not heat pipe unions with refrigerant still in the system, becouse of the danger of high pressure.After purging the refrigerant, disconnect coil following the same steps already mentioned. FIXING COIL LEAKS Joints Cu-Cu in water or DX coils can be repaired in field using copper solder. For joints Cu-Fe it is advisable to use bronze solder in water coils. This solder can be applied using oxy-acetylene torch, Soldering has to be done by a qualified person with experience. Inadequate heat application to surfaces can result in bad joints or cracks in base metal. For soldering process it is necessary’ |. Safety - It is important that all soldering in coils requires to completely evacuate coil of water or refrigerant, Cleanliness - In order to get a strong and durable joint, itis advisable to thoroughly clean the area to be treated with a steel brush using an adequate solvent, before attempting to solder. 3. Flame - When soldering a joint, soft or reducing flame has to be sued in order to prevent oxidation of base metals and the solder gases (oxygen and ene) have to be regulated to the flame shows. feather" which indicates that acetylene is in excess, If a solder joint fails when pressure is applied, special care has to be taken if this requires to be re-soldered, it has to be heated very carefully until solder plasticizes but no more. Afier this, use a steel brush to completely remove original solder and clean out the surface. ‘Note that if the solders that have been melted before, it will require more heat to melt. TROUBLESHOOTING ‘An air moving system consists of the entire ai circuitry through which the air flows. Included in the system are such components as duct work, fittings, branch ducts, dampers, heat exchangers, filters, coils, elbows, grilles, and other items through which are flows or offer obstruction to air flow. While differences in temperature and humidity may cause air movement, it may be considered very slight in comparison to the positive circulation required in an air conditioning system. To accomplish this ait movement, a fan has two functions to perform: 1.To produce sufficient pressure or head to accelerate the mass of air from a state of rest to the required velocity. 2. To produce sufficient pressure to overcome any resistance to the flow of air. The determination of these pressure is avery important part of troubleshooting an air conditioning system. The generally accepted standard instrament for measuring these unit pressure is the Pitot Tube. The Pitot Tube is used in conjunction with an Inclined Manometer, Magnehelic Gauge, or a Tube Manometer. Fans selected must be capable of moving the desired air flow through the entire air moving system including the unit intemal static pressure and also the duct system external static pressure. At a given flow rate the total static pressure is of {great importance when troubleshooting for causes of reduced capacity, vibration, noise, and height air velocity which cause water carry over.
