Salvage Procedures
Grooves for O-ring Seals
When servicing aftercoolers, an emery cloth may be used. Silicone sealers are not recommended in the grooves for the O-rings.Fins
A small flat head screwdriver can be used to straighten bent fins.Flange
Depending on the severity of cracks or breaks and accessibility to welding equipment, it may be easier and faster to replace the flange. A cracked or broken flange must be fixed before reinstalling the aftercooler.All welding and brazing on an aftercooler should be checked for cracks and leaks. Any cracks or leaks should be repaired before the aftercooler is used again.Handling and Testing
Whenever you are servicing, transporting, or storing an aftercooler, make sure that all connectors are capped or plugged to prevent dirt and other contaminants from entering the system.Also, copper fins are soft. Be sure to protect the fins during service, transport, and storage to prevent damage.Testing Procedures
Plug one coolant inlet/outlet port with an expandable plug or blocking cover with O-rings. Seal the drain port with a suitable plug. Cap the other coolant port with an expandable plug or blocking cover equipped with an air pressure tap. Apply 413 kPa (60 psi) air pressure to the air pressure tap and immerse the core in room temperature water. If no air bubbles are seen, the core does not leak and the core can be put back into service.
