Regular inspection and specific maintenance of FNVT upper external discharge capacitor.
The FNVT top discharge capacitor needs special maintenance protocol because of its vertical design, which is different from FNH and FNV side discharge models.
Checking the top grids is a priority because they accumulate dust, leaves and debris 30% faster than the side models. It is recommended to clean the surface every 4 months to avoid vertical flow blockage.
The top fan of FNVT is exposed to rain and atmospheric dust, so the bearing needs to be overhauled every six months. Its average service life is 22,000 hours.
The fixed base of FNVT must be inspected once a year to check the structural rigidity. Constant vertical vibration can loosen the fixing devices in outdoor facilities exposed to strong winds.
The FNVT heat exchange coil maintains the same performance as FNV under clean conditions, but its capacity is lost by 14% under the condition of high scale inhibition accumulation.
Don't install anything smaller than 1200mm above FNVT, because it will block the vertical output of hot air and produce thermal recirculation, thus reducing the performance by 19%.
In coastal areas, FNVT needs annual anti-corrosion treatment in the superstructure, because the strength of sea breeze accumulation in the upper part of the equipment is higher.
According to xindacool protocol, FNVT's corrective maintenance is 18% cheaper than that of side mode because it has simpler top access components.
Proper regular maintenance can extend the service life of FNVT to 10-12 years, which is 2 years longer than that of equipment with irregular maintenance.
