Forced-Air Cooling
During regular operation, the ChipSHOUTER will heat up if
using continuous discharge. When internal temperatures reach
a set point, the device will go into a thermal shut-down and
wait for natural cooling to take the device into safe oper-
ating range.
If using ChipSHOUTER in high duty cycle operation, or at
elevated local temperature, you may wish to use forced-air
cooling to improve performance.
ChipSHOUTER provides a M8x1.25 threaded hole, into which
the tube adapter may be inserted.
Dry
room-temperature
forced air may be inserted into the ChipSHOUTER from this
port.
To use this port, you will need to use a 4 mm hex wrench
(provided) to remove the blanking port. Once you have re-
moved the blanking port, you can insert the tube adapter
into this port and attach your air source. ChipSHOUTER does
not require high pressure air as there is little back-
pressure.
Use ONLY dry filtered air or an inert gas such as
nitrogen. Compressed air normally includes both
oil and water vapour. If using compressed air an
inline filter must be used to remove condensate,
failure to do so may cause shock danger due to
condensation inside unit, or cause permanent
damage of the ChipSHOUTER. Never use a flam-
mable or explosive gas.
