Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing the Chromalox micro-
THERM™ Oil Temperature Control System. This sys-
tem has been thoroughly engineered, carefully built,
and fully tested to assure years of service.
The microTHERM™ Oil can be operated at a maximum
temperature of 550°F. Oil temperature is maintained by
a microprocessor based temperature controller which
applies heating and cooling as needed.
Electrical and hydraulic components are located in dis-
tinctly separate areas in the system to better manage
heat buildup and prevent component damage. It is de-
signed to drastically reduce the chance of oil dripping
inside the product and provide ease of service and
maintenance. Standard casters make it easy to move
the system from machine to machine.
Power requirements for the system are 240 or 480
volts, 3 phase, 60 cycle, and 6 to 24 kW. See the sys-
tem nameplate for the appropriate voltage and wattage
ratings.
Oil or other synthetic fluids or mineral based fluids may
be used with this product. See section 4 number 1.
