Overview of cutting system coolant
The cutting system ships without coolant in the reservoir. Before you operate the cutting system, you
must fill it with coolant.
The coolant capacity for the plasma cutting system is between 22.7 liters – 45.4 liters (6 U.S. gallons – 12
U.S. gallons). The reservoir in the cooler can contain a maximum of 15.1 liters (4 U.S. gallons). But when
the plasma cutting system is fully installed, it can contain between 22.7 liters – 45.4 liters (6 U.S. gallons –
12 U.S. gallons).
More coolant is necessary for a cutting system with long leads than for a cutting system with short leads.
Speak to your cutting machine supplier to send an order for more
coolant. For information about how to calculate the approximate total
volume of coolant for your cutting system, refer to Calculations for total
coolant volume estimates on page 263.
The cutting system ships with the coolant filter and coolant-pump screen installed. Additional coolant
filters and screens are available. Refer to Cooler parts on page 399.
For information about how to install a replacement coolant filter or
coolant-pump screen, refer to the XPR Preventative Maintenance
Program (PMP) Instruction Manual (809490).
Fill the cutting system with coolant
Use the correct amount and type of coolant mixture to help prevent damage to the cutting system.
