Requirements
Chillers installed below the end-user application may enable system fluid to drain
back into the chiller and cause spillage. Thermo Fisher offers an anti-
drainback kit to prevent any spillage, see Section 5.
Air-cooled chillers can be installed with both sides blocked, or one side and the
rear. See Figure 3-1. The front of the chiller needs a minimum clearance of 24".
Air will enter the front and exit through the sides and rear.
Having two sides blocked can impact the chiller's performance due to
changes in air flow. If your installation requires two blocked sides please
ensure that the following requirements are met:
Process Setpoint Temperature: Below 30°C (86°F)
Ambient: Below 40°C (104°F)
Before operating the chiller in conditions outside any of those listed on this page
please contact Thermo Fisher Scientific's Sales, Service and Customer Support
to review your installation.
The chiller's construction provides protection against the risk of electrical
shock by grounding appropriate metal parts. The protection will not
function unless the power cord is connected to a properly grounded
outlet. It is the user's responsibility to assure a proper ground connection
is provided.

The chiller must be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code and
the with reference to the information on the chiller's nameplate located on the
rear.
Locate the chiller so it is near, and has easy access to, its disconnecting device.
The user is responsible to ensure that the line cord provided meets local
electrical codes. If not, contact qualified installation personnel.
