Issue:
The best way to repair leaks on the drive cooling fluid system
Resolution:
The RTAE chiller utilizes a cooling fluid system for the AFD3 (and load inductors for initial release RTAE Chillers). The system consists of circulation pump, Braze Plate Heat Exchanger and a bypass cooling circuit.
For mechanical threaded joints in is recommended to use a thread sealant such as Loctite 561 PST Pipe Sealant (used in the Trane factory where RTAE is built). DO NOT use Teflon tape for any joints.
Hose clamps are used for all hose to fitting connections. For leaks in these areas, it may be necessary to tighten or replace the coupling at that particular joint.
