Condenser Air Filters on Portable Water Chillers
A clean condenser on air-cooled portable water chillers is critical.
A Clean Condenser = Unrestricted Heat Transfer
- Loss of chiller capacity
- Difficulty running in warm weather
- Fan motor overheating
Keep your condenser clean with an air filter.
The best defense against a dirty condenser is an air filter. Disposable fiberglass filters with a MERV rating of 2 – 3 or Advantage supplied filter material is recommended.
