44 . STA 8000 Installation and Hardware Guide
Connect the Cooling Device to the STA 8000
The STA 8000 has an integrated cooling jacket that accepts various types of cold gases and
liquids. The recommended cooling system is the Polyscience Chiller, which operates between
–20 and 200 °C. The recommended temperature range of the coolant is 15–25 °C.
CAUTION
ATTENTION
Low temperature cooling should only be used with caution on the STA
8000, as any condensation in the furnace area could damage the
electronic circuits.
Le refroidissement à basse température ne doit être utilisé qu'avec
prudence sur le STA 8000, car toute condensation dans la zone du four
pourrait endommager les circuits électroniques.
NOTE: A mini dry box accessory (P/N N5202070) is available which sits on top of the furnace
and is recommended to help prevent condensation forming when the furnace is at
low temperature in a humid atmosphere.
Connecting to the Chiller
NOTE: An appropriate fluid must be used with the chiller. Distilled water is recommended for
operation at temperatures between 10 °C and 90 °C. Alternatively, normal tap water
can be used. For operation at –20 °C to 100 °C, 50% ethylene glycol in water is
recommended.
CAUTION
ATTENTION
Ensure that the cooling air vents at the front and rear of the cooler are
not blocked. Maintain a minimum space of 15–20 cm.
Assurez-vous que les évents d'air de refroidissement à l'avant et à
l'arrière du refroidisseur ne sont pas bloqués. Maintenir un espace
minimum de 15-20 cm.
When using the chiller, connect the cooling supply to the STA 8000 as follows:
1. Make sure that the chiller is switched off but that its power cord is plugged into a power
supply.
