D Chiller considerations
Caution: the cooling system must have a filter that allows the coolant to meet the
specifications for particles shown below. Failure to use a filter capable of meeting the
particle requirements can cause damage to critical optical components and could be
cause for denial of warranty claims on these components.
• The chiller is supplied by the customer and must meet the minimum requirements as stated in the Specifications
section of this manual.
• The chiller should be placed close to the fiber laser supply.
• Delivery lines should be sized to prevent excessive pressure drops along the lines. 20 mm (3/4 in) inside
diameter or larger is recommended for line lengths less than 10 m (30 ft). Longer lengths may require hoses
with a larger diameter.
• Prevent unexpected kinking, pinching, or other restrictions in the supply and return lines.
• Coolant lines should be protected from abrasion or punctures.
• Place the chiller in an area that is free of excessive moisture, has proper ventilation, and is relatively clean.
Allow 1 m (3 ft) of space on all sides of the chiller for ventilation and service.
• Do not place the chiller on an incline greater than 10° (with the wheels locked) to prevent it from toppling.
• Use reinforced Tygon, copper, stainless steel or PVC, for the plumbing. Use sizes appropriate to achieve the
necessary flow rates.
• Refer to the manual that came with your chiller for operation and maintenance information.
