3. Secondary Gas Pressure Regulator/Filter Assem-

bly

Pressure Regulator to adjust the secondary input
gas pressure to the Power Supply. The Pressure
Regulator has a built-in air line filter.

4. Coolant Reservoir

The coolant reservoir supplies the system with
coolant to cool the torch and torch parts during
operation. The maximum capacity of the reser-
voir is two gallons of coolant.

Inside the reservoir, in the filler hole, is a basket
and deionizer bag. The bag removes charged par-
ticles from the coolant after it is returned to the
reservoir and prevents the coolant from becom-
ing conductive. If the coolant becomes conduc-
tive it must be replaced (see NOTE).

NOTE

Refer to Section 5.02, General Maintenance, sub-
sections 'E' and 'F' for procedures on checking and
replacing coolant.

5. Gas Input

Input connections for plasma and secondary gases.
Acceptable gases are as follows:

Plasma Gases - Air, Nitrogen, Argon Hydrogen

Secondary Gases - Air, Nitrogen, Carbon Dioxide

WARNING

This unit not to be used with oxygen (O

).

6. Optional Two Stage Air Line Filter

The optional filter will remove moisture and con-
taminants from the air stream when using com-
pressed air. The filter is capable of filtering to at
least 5 microns.
