The coolant fill cap is located at the top rear of the unit. Twist off
the cap counter-clockwise to open. Fill reservoir to just below the
bottom of its neck with coolant. Replace cap and close before
operating chiller.
If using the #830-00906 Chiller with a coolant other than water
discontinue using the filter on the back of the unit. Connect the
Coolant Return tubing from the flow cell water jacket directly to the
chiller Coolant Return port bypassing the filter.
Recommended Coolants:
DI water, ethylene glycol/water mixtures or Koolance, a pre-mixed
27% propylene glycol/water based coolant containing an algaecide
and corrosion inhibitors, are acceptable coolants.
Koolance comes in several colors, the colorless or blue versions in
700 ml bottles, part number: LIQ-702CL-B (clear) or LIQ-702B-B
(blue). These versions are recommended as the dyes in the other
colored versions can form small particulates when not well mixed.
