Continuous-flow cooling system
A continuous-flow cooling system is an open cooling system. Ground, surface or drinking water cir‐
culate once through the cooling system.
Further information The dimensional drawing in chapter 13.2 gives the flow direction, size and location of the connec‐
tion ports.
2.15.1 Option K2
Water cooling (plate-type heat exchanger)
The primary winding of the heat exchanger is connected to the machine. The specifications
refer to the secondary side of the heat exchanger.
