Check the temperature in the
>Expansion vessel<
[18] again.
Continue to increase the setpoint by 10 K increments until the temperature in the
>Expansion
vessel<
[18] no longer rises during an increase.
Now maintain the thermal fluid at the last temperature set until the
>Expansion vessel<
[18] has
reached ambient temperature.
The entire process can take several hours, depending on the degree of contamination and the
application size. Continue the control process until the temperature in the
>Expansion vessel<
[18]
has returned to ambient temperature.
Go to the “Categories Menu”.
Tap on the category “Temperature Control”.
Tap on the category “Start/Stop”.
Tap on the dialog entry “Stop degassing”.
Confirm your choice by tapping on “OK”.
Read the note and confirm by tapping on “OK”. Degassing stops immediately and the pump
continues to run for approx. 30 seconds. Wait until the pump stops.
Connect a suitable drain hose (must be compatible with the thermal fluid) to the
>Expansion
vessel drain<
[9] (if fitted) or
>Drain<
[8] an.
Place the other end of the hose in a suitable container, which is compatible with the thermal
fluid and the thermal fluid temperature.
Drain the
>Expansion vessel<
[18]. To do so, open the
>Expansion vessel drain valve<
[5] by
turning it counterclockwise (turn 90° left as far as it will go). Pay attention to the high temper
a-
ture of the thermal fluid.
Close the
>Expansion vessel drain valve<
[5] by turnin
g it clockwise (turn 90° right as far as it will
go).
Remove the drain hose and the container.
Open the
>Expansion vessel cap<
[22] by hand.
Carefully pour new, original thermal fluid, using the filling accessories (funnel and/or beaker) into
the
>Filling port<
[17]. You can see the fill level in the
>Sight glass<
[23] or
>Level indicator<
[25]. Do not mix dissimilar thermal fluids.
Close the
>Expansion vessel cap<
[22] by hand.
The off-gassing process is complete.

Draining externally closed applications
Hot or very cold thermal fluid
SERIOUS BURNS/FREEZING OF LIMBS
Before draining,
ensure that the thermal fluid has room temperature (20 °C).
If, at this temperature, the thermal fluid is too viscous to be drained: Control the temperature
of the thermal fluid for a few minutes until the viscosity will allow drainage. Never control the
temperature of the thermal fluid when the
>Drain valve<
[4] is open.
>Drain valve<
[4]
is closed by turning it clockwise (turn 90° right as far as it will go).
Danger of burns when draining thermal fluids at temperatures above 20
°C.
Wear your personal protective equipment when carrying out the drainage operation.
Only drain with a suitable draining hose and container (these must be resistant to the thermal
fluid and temperature).
PROCEDURE
Connect a suitable drain hose to the
>Drain<
[8].
Place the other end of the hose in a suitable container.
Table model
Open the
>Drain valve<
[4]
by turning it counterclockwise (turn 90° left as far as it will go). The
thermal fluid will flow from the external application via the pump chamber and the draining hose
into the container.
Drain your externally closed application. The description for the drainage procedure can be
found in the documents you received with the application.
Open the connection
>Circulation flow<
[1].
Open the
>Circulation return<
[2] connection. Leave the temperature control unit open for a
while to dry out (without screw caps) and with
>Drain valve<
[4]) open.
