Cooling
Instead of using air for cooling, Cutler-Hammer Liquid-Cooled drives are cooled with liquid.
The liquid circulation of the drive is usually connected to a heat-exchanger (liquid-liquid/
liquid-air) which cools down the liquid circulating in the cooling elements of the drive. The
cooling agents acceptable for use are drinking water, demineralized water or a mixture
(60/40) of water and glycol. In a closed circulation system, the values in Table 2-3 are
recommended reference values. To avoid electrochemical corrosion, Eaton recommends
adding an inhibitor (e.g. Ferrolix 332/Henkel or Cortec VpCI-649) in the cooling agent.
Note: If no heat-exchanger is used, actions must be taken to avoid electrochemical corrosion.
Specifically no brass or copper elements may be used in the liquid circulation of the drive.
Drinking Water Specification
Table 2-3 provides general guidelines for water quality.
Note: 1 mg/L = 1 ppm.

Recommendations — Maximum Values
ᕃ No aggressive water allowed.
ᕄ To avoid corrosion of piping, the sulphate content must not
exceed 150 mg/L.
