Operation Manual ENG
With the purchase of an Aqua Medic cooling unit, you have selected a top quality product. It has been specifically
designed for the cooling of closed water cycles like fresh and salt water aquaria.
The Titan coolers are supplied with heat exchanger made from salt water proof Titanium steel. These heat
exchangers are corrosion-resistant and free of contaminations. The cooling units can be used in fresh and salt
water as well as in various chemicals.
The coolers have a one-phase cooling system containing the cooling medium R 134 a (FCKW-free). They work
with capillary injection as control system.
1. Product description
The Aqua Medic cooling units Titan 200, 600, 1600 and 2200 are supplied with:
- a temperature computer incl. digital display
- connections for water in- and outlet
- main switch and fuse to be changed from outside (not valid for Titan 1600 and 2200)
- solid cover made of plastic and metal
The units are ready to go.
2. Set-up and installation
1. The cooling unit must be set up at a well-ventilated place . The complete heat taken out of water by the
unit and the waste heat of the unit itself are emitted at the unit into the air. A build-up of heat directly at the
cooling unit leads to a heavily reduced cooling power output. Therefore, a sufficient ventilation is essential.
The exhaust air must be able to escape from the back (where the water connections are placed).
The environmental temperature should not exceed 35 °C .
2. The cooling unit has to be connected at the connecting pieces to a closed water cycle. It is recommended to
place the unit below the water surface. In case of leakage of the angled connecting piece, push union nut back
and tighten the internal screw connection again firmly.
3. Switch the water flow on.
It is important that the water flows continuously through the cooler. Because
the temperature-sensor is placed inside the unit, the heat exchanger cannot freeze in case of a failure of water
supply.
The flow rates are:
Titan 200: minimum 200, maximum 1,500 litres/h
Titan 600: minimum 500, maximum 2,000 litres/h
Titan 1600: minimum 800, maximum 2,500 litres/h
Titan 2200: minimum 2,000, maximum 4,000 litres/h
4. Before starting, the cooler should stand up straight for at least 1 hour. Connect it to 230 V power source and
switch the unit on (plug in the mains and switch on). Now, the actual water temperature is shown on the
display. Because the thermo sensor is placed in the water inlet, always a temperature which corresponds to
the temperature in the tank is shown.
The types Titan 200 and Titan 600 have an additional switch on the rear or on the side of the housing, which
must be switched on for operation. All types also have a (POWER) switch on the front of the display. If you
keep this button pressed during operation, the cooler switches off.
Attention: Cooling unit may not be used under pressure!
Maximum height below water level: 150 cm.
