Spring Maintenance & Cooling System Preparation

As winter recedes and warmer temperatures approach, it’s crucial to prepare your HVAC systems for increased cooling demands. Proper spring maintenance ensures efficiency, prolongs equipment lifespan, and prevents unexpected breakdowns during peak summer months.

Key Autumn Maintenance Activities:

  1. Restart and Inspect Cooling Towers: Begin by carefully restarting your cooling towers that were shut down for the winter. Conduct a thorough inspection for any signs of wear, corrosion, leaks, or other issues that may have developed during the off-season. Addressing these problems early ensures optimal performance during the warmer months.

  2. Optimise System Filtration: Ensure that side stream filtration devices, such as VEXO’s X-POT, are clean and functioning effectively. These devices help remove debris and maintain water quality, reducing the risk of corrosion and enhancing system efficiency.

  3. Apply Water Treatment Additives: Treat your system water with additives like VEXO’s X-PO Additives to prevent corrosion and scale buildup in cooling systems. Proper water treatment maintains energy efficiency and prevents damage to critical components.

  4. Inspect and Upgrade Components: Examine system components for any signs of deterioration or inefficiency. Consider upgrading to advanced solutions, such as replacing standard y-type strainers with magnetic strainers like VEXO’s DZR Brass Y-MAG, to enhance system protection and performance.

  5. Control and Monitor Systems: Implement a Smart Building Management System (S-BMS) to optimise energy use and enable remote monitoring of system performance. VEXO’s S-BMS allows for precise control over your HVAC operations, ensuring they meet the demands of the upcoming season efficiently.
