The improper installation of an industrial air conditioning system can cause long-term maintenance issues. It can also impede the efficiency of the unit, making it more expensive to run. The best way to avoid common problems such as blown fuses, intermittent airflow, water leaks and unusual noise with your system is to check to make sure it’s been correctly installed.
There are two ways to assess this. First, you can take a look around your facility to see for yourself if your industrial air conditioning system was installed correctly, and second, you can look at your current air conditioning maintenance company for red flags that may indicate improper installation.
How Does An Industrial Air Conditioning Unit Function?
The human body cannot function properly if its arteries are clogged. The same is true of your industrial air conditioning unit. Optimal function is only possible when the coils and filters are clean, inside and out. You may be able to see the condition of internal filters and coils by shining a flashlight inside the unit.
A good maintenance company will ensure that all components and working areas have been cleaned once installation has concluded, so there’s no danger of contamination from inside the unit or due to materials which may have been left behind. Otherwise there is always the risk of contaminants entering the system during installation, which may cause problems down the line.
How Should Pipework And Wiring Look?
Just as important as the cleanliness of the unit is the neatness with which it was finished. All pipework and wiring should be neatly installed, either mounted on cable tray or other suitable containment and clipped properly or concealed within trunking dependant on the clients requirements. No reputable industrial air conditioning installation company will leave a new installation with messy pipework or wiring. Also, the pipework and wiring would be protected where necessary so as not to be exposed to a possibly-harmful environment. Speaking of wiring, you’ll want to check all exterior wiring to ensure that industrial, and not household wiring was used for the installation.
What Information Should I Be Provided With?
Your installation company should provide you with all of the relevant documentation for the system you’ve had installed, including any warranties, guarantees of installation and certification. You should also receive information regarding any maintenance package purchased from them. Beware of any company that does not give you the whole story about your air conditioning system; if they do not have all of the right paperwork, you cannot confirm the proper installation of your unit.
Diagnosis Of The Problem
If you experience issues with your system after installation and call your provider, only to discover that it takes them a long time to figure out what’s wrong, please take note. A professional who knows what they are doing understands the importance of accurate and timely identification of issues. They will also understand the dangers of misdiagnosis, and so will do all they can to ensure they’ve exhausted every other possibility before deciding on the cause of the problem.
