If substantial lengths of tubing are necessary, insulation may be required to prevent loss of cooling capacity. Tubing and insulation are available from NESLAB. Contact our Sales Department for more information (see Preface, After-sale Support). It is important to keep the distance between the unit and the instrument being cooled as short as possible, and to use the largest diameter tubing practical.
Never use flammable or corrosive fluids with this unit. Distilled and deionized water may be aggressive and cause material corrosion. Please contact NESLAB before subjecting this unit to prolonged exposure to distilled or deionized water. Tap water is the recommended fluid for operation from +8°C to +35°C.
Water Quality Recommendations Unfavorably high total ionized solids (TIS) can accelerate the rate of galvanic corrosion. These contaminants can function as electrolytes which increase the potential for galvanic cell corrosion and lead to localized corrosion such as pitting which can be observed at the studs and on the outside surface of cooling coils.
Filling Requirements The reservoir access panel is located at the left rear corner of the case top, below an access panel. To open the access panel, slide the latch back (towards the rear of the unit) and lift. Loosen the thumbscrews and remove the reservoir cover. Fill the fluid reservoir with cooling fluid to within 1 inch of the top.
Section IV Temperature Controllers Temperature Controllers The standard temperature controllers available with HX units are: Digital (Panel mounted or Remote) and Digital with Interlock.
