Chill V Series
Section 4: Brief instructions
4.1 Assembly and setting up
It is advisable to set up the equipment so that the
control unit is towards the front and that the ventilation
for the refrigeration unit, especially on equipment with
an air-cooled condenser, (ventilation grille in lower part)
is not impeded. Ensure a minimum spacing of 0.5m
between ventilation grille and wall.
4.2 Filling and connection of external circuit
• Fill the equipment with the appropriate circulating liquid to suit the operating
temp. It should be filled with pure water or a water-glycol mixture (min. 70:30%).
• When using water as the heat carrier for the CHILL-V ensure that there are
no operating temperatures below 5°C in the outflow.
• To assist in venting the pump, the pressure connection should be left open
when the equipment is filled for the first time, otherwise there may be permanent
damage to the pump.
• Remove the plug on the filler opening at the upside. A funnel can be used for filling.
• When starting up for the first time, fill the bath as full as possible, up to the max. level.
• After filling up an external circuit, further liquid may have to be added.
• Connect the pump connections at the back of the equipment to the external circuit. The
external circuit must be pressure-tight.
• Switch off the equipment before releasing the hose connections; the hose couplings are
not self-sealing.
• Always ensure maximum flow cross-section in the external circuit (nipples,
tubing, external apparatus). This results in increased flow rate and therefore
better thermostating.
•
The equipment is designed for operation with non-flammable liquids.
Flammable liquids must not be used at temperatures higher than 25°C below
the flame point
