WATER-COOLED DEVICES
5 Installation and Operation of Liquid-Cooled Devices
5.1 Water-cooled devices
Theuseofwater-cooledKEBCOMBIVERTdrivecontrollersisoered,becausethere
are process-caused coolants available with some applications. However, the following
instructions must be observed.
5.1.1 Heat sink and operating pressure
Design system Material max. operating pres-
sure
Connection
Aluminium heat sink with
stainless steel tubes
Stainless steel 1.4404 10 bar
=> „5.1.4 Connection
of the cooling system“
NOTICE
Deformation of the heat sink!
► In order to avoid a deformation of the heat sink and the damages
thereby, the indicated maximum operating pressure may not be
exceededbrieyalsobypressurepeaks.
► The pressure equipment directive 2014/68/EU on pressure equip-
ment must be observed!
5.1.2 Materials in the cooling circuit
For the screw connections and also for the metallic articles in the cooling circuit which are in con-
tactwiththecoolant(electrolyte)amaterialistobeselected,whichformsasmallvoltagedier-
ence to the heat sink in order to avoid contact corrosion and/or pitting corrosion (electro-chemical
voltageseries,seethefollowingtable).Thespeciccaseofapplicationmustbecheckedbythe

A liability for occuring damages by wrongly used materials and from this resulting corro-
sion cannot be taken over!
