Common failures & inspection points
Inspect and clean evaporator and condenser coils for biofouling, scale, and corrosion — critical in high-salt marine environments
Check and replace air filters (HEPA/pre-filters) per schedule; verify filter housing seals and differential pressure across filter banks
Inspect fan blades, bearings, and drive belts/couplings for wear, vibration, and balance; lubricate bearing assemblies as required
Verify seawater strainer on condenser cooling water inlet is clean and free of blockage; inspect sea-water condenser for corrosion and tube integrity
Check refrigerant charge level and inspect for leaks at all connections, valves, and fittings (R-134a / R-407a systems)
Inspect and test shock mounts and vibration isolators for degradation — essential for navy shock-hardened installations
Verify operation of controls, thermostats, and remote controllers (MIL-C-2212 compliance where applicable); test safety interlocks and alarms
Inspect drain pans and condensate drain lines for blockage, corrosion, and proper slope; check insulation integrity on cold surfaces to prevent condensation and corrosion
