6.5.1 Maintenance

Sea water circuit check and cleaning
Check the strainer located on sea water suction periodically, specially when the yacht is shored. Never leave water in the system when the yacht is out of water. It is important, at least once a year, to have the system rinsed with fresh water for 1 or 2 hours, to remove all sea water residues.

Fan-coil cleaning
At least every fortnight clean the fan-coils inlet net by sucking the dust. The sucked air should not have a pressure higher than 1 and a half Atm. An higher pressure could damage the fan impeller.

Notes on the coolant
In case of coolant leaks, the first thing to do is to stop the A/C unit, to locate the leak and to eliminate it.
Once the leak has been removed, remove the coolant left in the circuit and refill the system completely; have the coolant filled by authorized engineers through the connection of compressor.

CAUTION

The topping-up of the chilling liquid must be carried out by skilled and qualified personnel, according to the indications of the Manufacturer.

CAUTION

The air inlets of the air conditioning system must always be free; their obstruction beyond involving the system performance, can also generate serious problems.

CAUTION

If the compressor is too noisy, an electric connection is wrong “compressor wrong rotation direction”, check the electric connections.

WARNING

Wash the sea water circuit with fresh water at least once a year.
