How to flush the Coils
Preperation
Before you start to the procedure you should get everything together, that is needed.
You need
- Vinegar essence
- Destilled Water
- Boxes (I recommend at least two)
- Submersible pump
- Power supply
- Blind plugs 2x
- Spanner (19, 17 & 14)
- Some paper
Getting started
- Turn off the pump and chiller.
- Make some space where the bigger pipe is split for the upper and lower coils (underneath the S-MOT Laser-System).
- Put a box there and remove the big pipes from the Tee. Do this above the box, since the water will start to drain out of the big pipes.
- Close the big pipes using the blind plugs.
- Connect the pump to the Input-Tee (labels are on the smaller pipes).
- Put the pump into a box with water (you can use tap water) and vinegar essence (I used a quarter of a bootle).
- Fix the Outut-Tee so that the water will drip into the box again.
- Connect the pump to the Power supply (check that the voltage is reduced to zero).
- Now slowly increase the Voltage until the water starts to drip out of the Output-Tee. Increasing the voltage too fast will cause the pump not to work.
- If the water starts to circulate you can increase the Voltage to max 12V.
- Flush the coils for a couple of hours
- When you ar done with flushing the coils you have to flush the coils with destilled water, to remove all residuals of the vinegar-water-mix (flush it with ~5 litres NOT CIRCULATING)
