Blade Series Heat Exchanger
Operation and Installation
*IMPORTANT*
For safe and satisfactory operation, please read the following instructions. Keep
these instructions for future reference. Some information may not apply to your system
.
Introduction
Ice Qube
Heat Exchangers are closed-loop systems that have been designed to provide cooling for computer and
electronics enclosures in environments where the enclosure temperature may be maintained at temperatures at least 5
degrees Fahrenheit above ambient. Models range from 16.7 to 105.5 watts/degree Fahrenheit cooling capacity.
The Blade Series heat exchangers offer unique features such as a built-in heating system, and the ability to operate with
a VAC or VDC power supply. Connecting both a VAC and a VDC power supply provides a redundant power supply system
where if AC power is lost, the model will continue to operate on a DC power supply.
Basic Operation
Ice Qube
Heat Exchangers have only two moving parts. They are maintenance-free fans or blowers, which are used
to move air over the heat exchanger core. The enclosure fan moves hot air from the top of enclosure, through the heat
exchanger core where the heat is dissipated and the cool air returns to the bottom of the enclosure. The ambient fan
moves cool air from near the bottom of the heat exchanger through the core where the heat from the enclosure is
absorbed and dissipated to the ambient air near the top of the heat exchanger
.
Unpacking Inspection
Look for damage to the shipping container.
If the shipping container has been damaged or marred in any way, carefully
inspect the heat exchanger for damage which may have occurred during shipping. Check for scratches, dents, or any
other irregularities. Listen for noises that could indicate loose components. Any evidence of damage should be recorded
on the freight bill. The freight carrier’s claim procedure should be followed.
Ice Qube Inc. cannot accept responsibility
for damages which occur during shipping.
Pre-installation Test
Before installing the heat exchanger on the enclosure, it is recommended to operate the unit for a few minutes to be sure
it is functioning properly. Although the system has been factory tested, damage may have occurred during shipping
which may have not been apparent during the unpacking inspection.
1.
Place the system on a solid base such as a workbench or table. Be sure there is adequate space for the two air
streams.
2.
Check the unit name plate for electrical requirements. Note that power supply may be VAC or VDC. Connect
the power cord to the model and a properly grounded electrical outlet of sufficient capacity. The use of an
extension cord is not recommended.
**
If any unusual noise or vibration is present, immediately disconnect the power cord and inspect the unit for
the cause.
3.
After power is supplied to the unit, the controller will begin an approximate 90 second self-diagnostic
where it will check sensor, fan and heater operation. Note: Heat does not function with 48 VDC power
supply only and will alarm. This alarm will auto reset at the end of the diagnostic sequence.
4.
After making these few simple checks, you are ready to prepare your electrical enclosure for installation
of the heat exchanger.
