Hello guys,
I'm working on an absorption chiller that has had a burst in the absorber section and has completely flooded the system with cooling water.
The HX tubes have now been sealed and there is no more water leaking into the system.
My problem now is how do I get the water out of the system?
If it was a normal chiller then I would be able to seperate the system and just blow through with nitrogen whilst changing the oil and driers but this isn't that easy.
I seem to have water in the bottom of the purge tank but I can't tell how much.
I planned on getting a few space heaters to heat the plant room and the abo whilst carrying out a vac and breaking the vac with OFN.
However I believe that a cold pot may assist me in getting the water out quicker but I don't know too much about this method or where to get one from?
Does anyone have any suggestions?
