Equipment Information
Pro Tips for Daikin TZ Series Daily Inspection
- Start-up Sequence: Always follow the proper start-up sequence for the TZ Series. Check pre-start conditions including oil temperature, refrigerant pressures, and control system status before initiating compressor operation.
- Screw Compressor Monitoring: Pay special attention to screw compressor sounds during operation. Any unusual noise, vibration, or variation in sound patterns could indicate developing issues requiring immediate attention.
- Energy Efficiency Focus: Monitor the daily kW/ton performance closely. The TZ Series is designed for high efficiency, and any deviation from baseline performance should be investigated promptly.
- Safety First: Always verify lockout/tagout procedures are properly displayed and accessible. Never bypass safety interlocks or attempt maintenance while the system is energized.
- Environmental Compliance: Document all refrigerant-related activities daily. Even minor leaks must be recorded and addressed according to EPA regulations to maintain compliance.
- Preventive Action: Use daily inspections to identify trends before they become problems. Small variations in temperature, pressure, or vibration often precede major failures.
