Chapter 6. Water Cooling
A water cooling device is needed if the ambient temperature may
rise above the max. permitted value. The maximum operating
temperature for the respective detector is listed in the technical
data section on page Chapter 13.
If a water cooling device is installed on the detector, the connec-
tion piece has to be aligned such that the water feed pipes can be
connected easily. Make sure that the water pipes do not lead past
the radiation window.
Keep the following in mind to prevent that an air cushion builds up
in the water cooling device:
Horizontal installation:
If the detector is installed horizontal-
ly, then the bottom connection piece
is to be used as water inlet.
Vertical installation:
This rule applies to all detector types.
Connecting the
water cooling device
If the detector is mounted vertically,
then the connection box has to face
up so that the fittings are located on
the top end of the water cooling.
