Cooling Jacket Accessory . 77
To connect to the chiller, follow the steps below:
1. Place the chiller on the floor to the left of the TGA.
2. Make sure that the chiller is switched off but that its power cord is plugged into a
power supply.
3. Screw one of the barbed hose couplings shipped with the chiller into the OUTLET
connection on the chiller unit, and tighten with a suitable wrench.
4. Couplings suitable for several different hose sizes are provided with the chiller.
5. Push a hose (compatible with the desired coolant) onto the OUTLET coupling and
secure with a hose clamp.
6. Connect the hose from the chiller OUTLET to the lower connector on the cooling
jacket. Push the tube up onto the connector and over the two ribs.
7. Screw the other hose coupling into the INLET connection on the chiller and tighten
with a suitable wrench.
8. Push a second piece of hose onto the INLET coupling and secure with a hose clamp.
9. Connect the hose from the chiller INLET to the upper connector on the cooling
jacket. Push the tube up onto the connector and over the two ribs.
10. Place a hose clamp (P/N 09903004) around each hose to secure it to the jacket.
Position the clamp so that it is between the two ribs and that they do not interfere
with the door or the autosampler operation.
11. Place the tie wraps (P/N 09940294) around the two coolant hoses in strategic places
to help keep them out of the way when the furnace changes position.
Suggested location is around the TGA 8000 foot below the furnace. Do Not tighten
the tie-wrap – keep it very loose so as to not kink the tubing. Allow for excess
tubing to allow furnace to be raised without stressing tubing. See the example
below.
