2.6. Water Requirements
WARNING
: To prevent damage to the AGV-HP(O), do not attach a water hose to an air
fitting or an air hose to a water fitting.
WARNING
: Use distilled water as the coolant in the AGV-HP(O) water-cooling system.
To prevent corrosion and damage to the cooling circuit, additives must be compatible
with the materials found in the cooling circuit. These materials include brass, stainless
steel, aluminum (plain or anodized), nickel plating, polyurethane, nylon, and nitrile
rubber. If distilled water cannot be used, contact the factory to discuss the specifics of
your application.
A supply of coolant is necessary for AGV-HP(O) models furnished with the -WC water cooling option.
This feature requires a source of distilled, temperature-controlled water. You could use a corrosion
inhibitor additive meant for multi-metal cooling channels to help increase the life of components in
the water-cooling circuit. Aerotech recommends using an appropriately sized chiller capable of
delivering 0.35 GPM (gallons per minute) at 60 psid. The coolant must be delivered and retrieved
from the scan head via appropriate hoses with outer diameters of 6 mm.
