Hi All,
We are getting ready to install our cryoprobe for a few months. We are
located in a beautiful location right along a river which is lined with lot
of stately cottonwoods. Unfortunately in a few weeks it will look like a
pretty nice snowfall is happening when it is really just "cotton" from the
cottonwoods. I saw a note in the logbooks from a predecessor here saying
that the cryoprobe was thermally cycled to allow cleaning of the outdoor
compressor due to the cottonwood issue. I expect that the air flow is just
too high to allow a shop vacuum to succeed at pulling the cotton off of the
cooling fins while the fan is operating. I am thinking of trying to build
an external cage with screening to allow for a larger cross section for air
flow or to install a slip-in holder for a coarse external filter.
1. Have users been able to pull debris like this out of the cooling
units fins while the fans is in operation with a good shop vacuum?
2. Has anyone built an external filter holder, I know that it would have
to be the coarse fiber style filter, that paper would be too restrictive.
3. Has anyone built an external "cage" with screening and if so was it
coarse wire or normal window screening
I will post a summary if anyone has created a solution for this issue.
Thanks.
Regards,
Joe
