Lauda ULTRACOOL UC 50 - ETHYLENE GLYCOL ADJUSTMENT; CHILLER STARTUP

Only an authorized technical service can adjust the antifreeze set point. The following table shows the
ethylene glycol concentration and the antifreeze adjustment required:

(4) The ethylene glycol percentage is given as % measured as weight of the total mixture. In case of any
modification in the quantity of water in the installation, the concentration of ethylene glycol should be
checked.
If more volume is required it is necessary to keep the ethylene glycol concentration
Do not use automotive antifreeze. Use lab grade ethylene glycol only! Do not use an ethylene glycol
concentration above 40%; this would damage the water pump.
3.2 CHILLER STARTUP
Clean the application water circuit with tap water in order to be sure that there are no free particles.
Otherwise the filter element can block up during the startup process.
Turn Off the Main power switch (to avoid any possibility of unexpected startup of the equipment during this
operation). Open the lateral panel, open the tank cover and fill the tank with water of the required quality
