The Chiller
The chiller is very important to the reliable operation of your laser cutting machine.
q
The chiller must be placed so that an adequate flow of air is maintained.
q
The positioning of the chiller is flexible. Two lengths of flexible hose and appropriate fittings are
provided for connection to the system.
q
If you plan to hard plumb the system, use only Brass, Stainless Steel, and/or Plastic.
Black steel or Galvanized pipe and fittings are not permitted.
If the system is hard-plumbed, the total restriction of piping and fittings must not add up to more
restriction than the standard flexible hose and fittings would have.
q
The chiller is a closed loop system, but requires periodic addition of water and/or additives to re-
place evaporative losses.
q
The chiller must be filled with proper coolant mixture. See page 7 for details.
DO NOT FILL THE CHILLER WITH CITY WATER, OTHERWISE SERIOUS AND
EXPENSIVE DAMAGE MAY BE INFLICTED ON THE LASER OSCILLATOR
