Do you have a question about the teca TLC-700 and is the answer not in the manual?

Overview

The TECA TLC-700 is a solid-state liquid chiller with an integral TC-3300 temperature control, designed for compact and reliable temperature management in various applications, including laboratory, laser, x-ray, out-patient, and medical therapy. It functions as an electrical heat pump and a solid-state cooling device.

Function Description

The TLC-700 operates as a recirculating liquid chiller, utilizing a solid-state thermoelectric cooling system to maintain a precise fluid temperature. It is designed to cool an external load by circulating a chilled fluid through external plumbing lines. The unit includes an internal reservoir for the circulating fluid and a pump to drive the fluid through the system. Heat generated by the thermoelectric modules is dissipated by a tubeaxial fan, requiring adequate airflow around the unit. The integral TC-3300 temperature controller allows for precise temperature setpoint adjustment and control, with options for PID or ON/OFF control methods. Safety features include low fluid and low flow indicators to prevent damage to the pump and ensure proper operation.

Usage Features

  • Easy Setup: The unit is designed for straightforward installation. It should be placed on a flat surface, ensuring a minimum 6-inch clearance from the rear for proper airflow.
  • Fluid Management: The internal reservoir holds 500 ml of fluid. Distilled water is recommended for temperatures down to 5°C, while a 30% glycol/70% distilled water mix is suggested for temperatures below 5°C. The "add fluid" light indicates when the reservoir needs refilling.
  • Quick Connects: External plumbing lines are supplied with quick connectors for easy attachment to the device being cooled.
  • Temperature Control: The integral TC-3300 digital temperature controller allows users to set and adjust the desired fluid temperature. It features PID control for enhanced stability and can be autotuned for optimal performance.
  • User Interface: The controller includes UP, DOWN, and '*' buttons for navigating menus and adjusting settings. An operator lockout feature is included.
  • Safety Indicators: Front panel indicators for "low fluid" and "low flow" alert the user to potential issues, preventing pump damage. The "low flow" indicator activates when flow is approximately 0.3 liter/min or less.
  • Communication Options: Optional RS-232 or RS-485 communication ports allow for PC supervision, remote adjustment, configuration, logging, and charting in real-time using Windows-based software.
  • Robust Design: The unit features a stainless steel housing and a Nema-4X front panel for corrosion and water resistance, making it suitable for environments requiring frequent cleaning.

Maintenance Features

  • Fluid Refill: The "add fluid" indicator simplifies fluid level monitoring, prompting users to refill the reservoir as needed.
  • Flow Monitoring: The "low flow" indicator helps diagnose plumbing obstructions or leaks, ensuring continuous and efficient operation.
  • Controller Programming: The TC-3300 controller's setup menu allows for user-modified programming, including changing control methods (ON/OFF to PID) and performing autotune for better temperature control.
  • Troubleshooting Support: TECA provides technical support via a toll-free number for any questions or assistance with the equipment.
  • Warranty: The device comes with a limited warranty covering material or workmanship defects for one year from delivery, provided specific conditions regarding notification and inspection are met.
  • Return Policy: A return authorization number is required for any returns. New merchandise can be returned for credit within 60 days of shipment, subject to a 15% restocking charge. Special equipment and custom orders may incur additional cancellation charges.
