Water cooling system location
Important information
It is important that the information and methods provided in this section are used when
assembling, connecting and servicing the water cooling system. All of the following points
should be read and understood. Failure to do so may result in permanent damage to the
instrument or exposure of personnel to potentially dangerous situations.
When unpacking the water cooling systems, ensure that all assembly and mounting hardware
are present, before the packing material is discarded.
It is essential that the instruction booklet supplied with the water cooler is carefully read,
particularly the sections on unpacking, warranty, routine maintenance and after sales support.
Water cooling system location
The water cooling systems require cool air to circulate around and through the unit to function
properly. Any restrictions which prevent the circulation of specified volumes of air will cause a
reduction in cooling capacity and/or complete shutdown of the water cooler. Excessively dusty
areas should be avoided and a periodic cleaning procedure instituted.
Select a clean environment for the water cooling system, where the ambient temperature is
stable (refer to the manufacturer’s specification for the operating temperature range). If the
environment exceeds the maximum operating temperature specification, it will fail to cool the
instrument satisfactorily. This will void the instrument warranty. You must consider the
environmental conditions when selecting a water cooling system.
Room temperature also influences the water cooling systems ability to remove the heat from
the instrument. When operating in an environment warmer than 25°C, or if the location of the
water cooling system is more than three metres from the instrument, a larger capacity water
cooling system may be required. Refer to the manufacturer’s specifications and ensure that the
selected water cooling system is capable of removing the required amount of heat from the
instrument when operating at its intended location.
All hose connections should be securely clamped. If the hoses are substantially lengthened,
avoid running lines near radiators, hot water pipes or outside in cold climates. If these
conditions cannot be avoided, it may be necessary to insulate the lines.
Anti-algae requirements
The Agilent 5110 ICP-OES instrument water cooling system consists of copper, brass, PTFE and
nylon. To prevent growth of aerobic bacteria in the instrument cooling system, add an algaecide
as recommended by the water cooler manufacturer.
Note that different manufacturers may recommend different algaecides.
