21.7 Water cooling (option for MKF 56, 115, 240, 720, and MKFT 720)
The water cooling serves to cool the chamber instead of the air cooling and reduces the heat, which is
emitted to the ambient air during cooling operation.
MKF 56, 115, 240: The water-cooling option allows to select between air cooling and water cooling. The
water cooling is turned on via the switch (3) in the lateral control panel. When it is turned off, the air cooling
is active.
MKF / MKFT 720: With the water-cooling option, the chamber always cools with the water cooling.
Retrofitting by the manufacturer is possible: The chamber must be returned to the BINDER factory for
installation.
You can supply the chamber’s humidity system with freshwater and drain the wastewater via a water pipe
or manually with the internal water cans, like with the regular chamber. With the optional water cooling, the
chamber is equipped with two additional connections for the inlet and outlet of the cooling water.
Water connections
With the optional water cooling the chamber is supplied with cooling water via a freshwater pipe (max. inlet
temperature: 10 °C / 50 °F).
• Connection of cooling water inlet: please refer to chap. 4.4.
• Connection of cooling water outlet: please refer to chap. 4.3.
21.8 External freshwater and wastewater cans (option for MKF 56)
If no suitable in-house water connection is available, you can manually supply water by filling the optional
external freshwater can. There is an additional external water can for the waste water. The volume of each
can is 20 liters / 0.71 cu.ft.
You can place the cans next to the chamber.
21.8.1 Connecting the freshwater can and the pump
The water pump is attached to the MKF 56 housing with magnets.
