should be flushed and refilled to the proper level with oil of the proper
type; dry crankcases should be similarly filled. Check for leaks in receivers
and refrigerant piping and repair them as required. All equipment, including
water lines, cylinder jackets, condensers, pumps, and water pans, should be
flushed with fresh water and refilled. Cooler and condenser coils should be
brushed with a wire brush and cleaned with compressed air; air-cooled
condensers that are heavily filmed with grease should be cleaned. Outdoor
cooling towers and evaporative condensers, including piping, should be
flushed, refilled, and reactivated. Disconnected piping should be reconnected
to equipment.
Refrigerated Spaces. Clean the interior surfaces of cold storage

rooms and refrigerators and repair them as necessary. All shelving, floor
gratings, dunnage, and meat hooks that have been stored should be cleaned and
Meat tracks should be cleaned, as well as scales, door hinges,
installed.
door gaskets, and miscellaneous hardware. Remove covers on exterior openings.
Water-Softening and Filtering Equipment Inactivation. The zeolite,
2.2.11
for water softening, should be stored in an airtight container, in a
regenerated wet condition. Steel tanks and pressure-type softeners and
filters should be drained by opening the lowest drain connection or drain plug
and by removing the top manhole, handhole, or plug. Except where there is
danger of damage from freezing, the wood-gravity type should not be drained
and allowed to become dry. All waterlines to softeners and filters should be
disconnected and capped or blanked off. The exterior surfaces of steel tanks,
piping, and valves should be cleaned and painted. The inside of steel tanks
above zeolite or other types of beds should be scraped, cleaned, and painted
with asphalt varnish. On zeolite tanks, manhole covers and plugs should be
removed to permit passage of air through the tanks; to prevent loss, covers
and plugs should be securely fastened to the tanks or piping. Brine and salt
tanks should be emptied, scraped, washed clean, and painted inside and outside
with the asphalt varnish. Multiport valves should be greased internally in
accordance with the manufacturer's instruction. Hydraulic valve lines and
brine pumps should be drained and cleaned. Salt from brine or salt tanks
should be stored in a clean, dry place.

Water-Softening and Filtering Equipment Reactivation. Al 1
disconnected water lines to softeners and filters should be connected; capped
or blanked-off ends should be released. When corroded, the inside of steel
tanks above zeolite or other types of beds should be scraped, cleaned, and
painted with asphalt varnish in accordance with Fed. Spec. TT-V-51F,
Varnish: Asphalt. Stored zeolite manhole covers and plugs should be
installed on the storage tanks. Remove preservatives that prevent proper
operation of the system. Disinfect equipment transmitting or processing
potable water in accordance with NAVFACINST 11330.14.
