Connecting the Water Cooling
Supply/Circulator
When the CSS450 is used at temperatures exceed-
ing 200°C for a prolonged period of time it will
become warm/hot to the touch. To ensure that the
stage is always safe to handle, a system of water-
cooling is recommended.
Either a low-pressure water supply (mains) or a
water pump may be used with a flow rate of ap-
proximately 0.3l/m.
Linkam can supply a portable water circulator
pump system (ECP) for this application.
Some connectors and tubing are supplied with the
stage. (Water connections at sides of stage need to
be fitted using a 7mm spanner). The tube has a
inner diameter (I.D) of 3.0mm and an outside
diameter (O.D) of 6.0mm. To ensure even cool-
ing of the complete stage, connect the tubes to the
stage as shown.
Note: cut the tubing to a manageable length. i.e.
not too long as it might tangle up and not too
short, so that when Lid is taken off the Base, it
can be placed on the Stand
