Section 1
1-2 ThermoFlex
Never operate the chiller with panels removed.
Never operate the chiller without process fluid in the reservoir.
Never connect the process fluid inlet or outlet fittings to your
building water supply or any water pressure source.
Before using any fluid or performing maintenance where contact
with the fluid is likely refer to the manufacturer's SDS for handling
precautions.
To prevent freezing/glazing of the plate exchanger, ThermoFlex7500
through ThermoFlex10000 chillers require the use of 50/50 EG/
water or 50/50 PG/water below 10°C process temperature.
When using a process fluid mixture of ethylene glycol and water or
propylene glycol and water, check the fluid concentration and pH on
a regular basis. Changes in concentration and pH can impact system
performance. See Section 3.
Do not use automotive antifreeze. Commercial antifreeze contains
silicates that can damage the pump seals. Use of automotive
antifreeze will void the manufacturer's warranty.
Many refrigerants which may be undetectable by human senses
are heavier than air and will replace the oxygen in an enclosed area
causing loss of consciousness. Contact with leaking refrigerant
will cause skin burns. Refer to the chiller's nameplate for the type
of refrigerant used and then the refrigerant's SDS for additional
information.
Drain the chiller before it is transported and/or stored, see Draining
in Section 8. Store the chiller in the temperature range -25°C to 60°C
(with packaging), and <80% relative humidity.
Always turn off the chiller and disconnect the power cord from
the power source before performing any service or maintenance
procedures, or before moving.
Transport the chiller with care. Sudden jolts or drops can damage its
components.
Never operate damaged or leaking equipment.
Refer service and repairs to a qualified technician.
