 deposits are dissolved and suspended while the system continues to run.

Users simply replace 10% of existing fluid with the LC liquid, install a 100-micron element in the sidestream filter (being sure to also remove screens from y-strainers) and restart the system. After the LC liquid begins circulating and sludge deposits are loosened and released into the flow, filter elements should be progressively reduced over time to 50-micron and then to 25-micron, according to the company. When circulation continues for a day without the need to change a 25-micron element, the system is ready to be drained and recharged with new Paratherm heat transfer fluid.
