The EC-3 Cooling package is optional on N2 machines and is meant to be used for the high end cooling
applications. It makes use of an internally mounted high efficiency heat exchanger to remove heat from the tunnel.
The upper cells in the cooling section are fitted with an internal fin & tube type heat exchanger. As recirculated gas
flows over the fin and tubes a transfer of heat from the air stream to the liquid stream is made. The heat is then
carried out of the tunnel via an external OEM chiller. This option provides an all-inclusive approach to get the
maximum cooling performance from XPM3m.
All upper cool cells with heat exchangers are supplied with hinged and latched faceplates that can be
opened from the inside of the tunnel. This provides access to remove, clean and maintain the heat exchangers with
a minimum of effort.
Cooling performance is dependent on the temperature of the machine-supplied coolant that has a control range of
10 to 80°C. The chiller controls to ±2 °C from set point. The coolant temperature adjustment provides an indirect
control over the temperature of the cooling cells. This option provides the maximum cooling capabilities for the
XPM3m.
