Always fill from the bottom inlet connection â. This is to prevent any air bubbles being
caught in the heat exchanger arrangement.
For most applications the heater/chiller fluid will be water.
l Refer to the Mastersizer 3000 User Manual and Basic Guide for the site require-
ments of the heater/ chiller fluid connections.
Connecting the heater/chiller pipes
To connect the heater/chiller pipes:
1. Press the lock down on the connection to open.
2. Insert the heater / chiller pipes into the connection until the lock is engaged.
