Maintenance Tips
1. Always disconnect the unit from the 115 VAC supply power source before servicing.
2. Changing the Collector Element
- Change collector cartridge according to the general guidelines below:
- 1st Collector Cartridge Replacement - change after 2,000 hours of operation
- Routine Collector Cartridge Replacement - change every 180 days*, or after 4,000 hours of operation
*Depending upon application, collector life could be extended up to one year. However, collectors must be changed at least once every year.
- Use only patented Kleentek-brand replacement collector cartridges. "Knock-off" replacement collectors do not hold up over time.
- It is necessary to replace collectors when changing to a different type of oil.
- When changing the collector element, clean the inside of the cleaning chamber with kerosene. Wipe down with lint-free cloth until the surface is free of any contaminants or kerosene. Allow to dry completely before installing new collector.
3. Testing moisture content in the oil
- Obtain a small sample of oil from the drain valve and examine under a 50x microscope. If several round spots can be seen, moisture content greater than 500 ppm exists.
OR
- Heat a metal teaspoon using a gas flame and then place oil sample on spoon. If bubbles appear, then moisture content is greater than 500 ppm.
- If moisture content is above 500 ppm, oil must be pre-treated to remove the water.
Test for moisture when Kleentek system panel indicates:
- Loss of high voltage-electrical voltage in cleaning chamber may fall below 3.0 KV.
- Alarm within first five hours of new collector change.
For Troubleshooting Tips
Consult the Owner's Manual that was sent with your Kleentek electrostatic oil conditioning system.
