Overview: setting up coolant tubing connections
The tubing connections between the various items of BUCHI laboratory equipment
form a sealed circulation system. The starting and finishing point is always the
recirculating chiller (F-3xx).
Below is an example of the tubing connections between the laboratory apparatus.
