An alternative is to install a recirculating water chiller system. The
system should provide cover for the reservoir to prevent evaporation
and stop contamination by dust or other impurities. Algaecide should
be used to prevent algae growth that may restrict the flow of cooling
water through the system.
A recirculating water chiller system has the advantage of reducing
the volume of water that will be required over the life of the
instrument’s operation. Because of the limited size of the water
chiller’s reservoir, in the case of accidental damage the amount of
water damage that can occur will also be limited.
The G8481A Agilent Water Chiller can be used and will ensure the
continued delivery of temperature controlled coolant, at the correct
pressure, with a minimum of long-term maintenance or operational
expense.
NOTE
The operation manual, mounting, and assembly hardware for the chiller system is
included in the water chiller packaging. Locate all of these articles before the
pack is discarded.
Table 9. Agilent ICP-OES chiller requirements
Cooling capacity 1400 W
Flow rate 2.0 L/min (0.53 gpm) minimum
Recommended inlet temperature 20 °C (68 °F)
Temperature range 15–28 °C (59–82 °F)
Minimum inlet pressure 230 kPa (33 psi)
Maximum inlet pressure 400 kPa (58 psi)
NOTE
Pressure regulation is recommended for water chiller systems that may exceed
the maximum permissible pressure of 400 kPa (58 psi) or may be subject to
pressure fluctuations.
