Maintenance Considerations
This period discusses general maintenance requirements of centrifugal water
chillers. Although some of the information applies specifically to the design
presented in this clinic, requirements for other centrifugal chiller designs are
also included.
Once a centrifugal chiller is installed and put into operation, it usually continues
to function without a full-time attendant. In many cases, the machine starts and
stops on a schedule controlled by a building automation system or a simple
time clock. The only daily maintenance requirement is to complete and review
the operating log.
Water chillers are designed for maximum reliability with a minimum amount of
maintenance. Like all large mechanical systems, however, certain routine
maintenance procedures are either required or recommended.
