Depending on the type of air conditioning system, planned maintenance generally includes cleaning of filters, grilles, fans and couplings,replacing bearings and checking to ensure that system leaks are not occurring. Cooling towers Maintenance of equipment is necessary in larger plants with cooling towers. Cooling towers are heat removal devices used to reject heat from used in air conditioning and are generally located on the roof of a building. This is achieved by using an evaporative cooling effect whereby water is sprayed whilst air is drawn (usually via fans) across the water. The net result is that the heat originally contained in the water is evaporated, delivering cooler water ready for its re-use. Cooling towers do involve exposing water to the atmosphere. Therefore, their maintenance to avoid bacterial growth leading to the risk of Legionella is paramount. It is also important to ensure that water is not being lost due to prevailing wind conditions leading to excessive water use. A cooling tower does consume water and captured rainwater can be used providing that correct chemical dosing and testing occurs. Assessment 6: Your organisation’s maintenance work processes These questions are assessable: performance element 2.1, 2.3, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 Read the article below then consider the questions. How do I prepare a maintenance schedule? A maintenance schedule details when works, either major or minor, will be started and completed.Generally, you will also prepare a cleaningschedule as maintenance and cleaning go hand in hand. The first step in preparing a maintenance schedule isto determine what needs to be done. In determiningwhat works need to be done, you should undertakethe following steps.
