Drain the device

Personnel:

n

Operating personnel

WARNING!

Contact with hot or cold heat transfer liquid

Scalding, cold burns

Bring the heat transfer liquid to room temperature before

draining.

Also note the following:

n

Observe the regulations for the disposal of used heat transfer liquid.

1.

Switch off the device.

2.

Let the device and the heat transfer liquid cool down or heat up to

room temperature.

3.

Position a container with appropriate capacity directly under the drain

tap.

Several draining processes are required for devices with high

fill capacity.

4.

Open the drain tap. Turn the lever to the right for this.

9.2  Draining the condenser

This section is relevant for:

n

Water-cooled devices

Personnel:

n

Operating personnel

1.

Bring the device to a temperature of approx. 20 °C. Switch the device

off.

2.

Close the cooling water intake.

3.

Unscrew the cooling water hose from the threaded connection of the

water cooling intake.

4.

A water filter is located in the water cooling intake nozzle. Carefully

remove the water filter from the intake nozzle.

You will find more information on removing the water filter in

Ä

 Chapter 7.6 “Cleaning the water filter” on page 70

.

5.

Clean the water filter of the device. Then re-insert it in the intake

nozzle.

6.

Leave the cooling water hose on the outlet on the device. Place the

other end of the hose in a drain or a large container.
