Water cooling system
The Agilent 5110 ICP-OES instruments rely on water circulation to remove heat generated within
the spectrometer system. Water is used to cool the camera via one circuit and SSRF, torch coil
and cooled cone interface via the other circuit. Both circuits are in parallel and the SSRF circuit
is switched on only when there is a plasma present to prevent condensation build up on the coil
with no plasma on.
Because mains power supply voltages and frequencies differ around the world, several different
models of water coolers can be used with the 5110 ICP-OES instrument range.
The information contained in this section is suitable for most water cooling systems which
meet the general specifications. Information relating to the assembly, operation and
maintenance requirements of a specific type of cooling system can be found in the literature
supplied by the manufacturer.

System description and specifications
The function of the water recirculating coolers is to provide a continuous supply of cooling
water at a constant temperature and pressure. The cooler is a self contained unit consisting of a
reservoir, temperature controller, recirculating pump, and can be either an air cooled or
refrigerated (heat pump based) system.
