SOLUTION BY AUTHORIZED TECHNICIAN
Locate the leakage points and seal them. Fill with
propylene glycol and deaerate.
Rinse and deaerate the system, adjust the pressure
Correct the entry pressure in the expansion vessel.
Flush out the system, measure the entry pressure
and adjust it to the static pressure. Fill and deaerate
the system again.
