Hypertherm, Inc. Part Number: 810540 Site Planning ‐ Location Considerations 5.2.5 Air Intake and Exhaust Clearance 5.2.5.1 Supply Clearance The chillers are equipped with removable intake air filters on one side of the machine. Care must be taken to ensure that adequate clearance is provided to ensure fresh air is able to enter the intake air filters. At least 3 feet of clearance is required between the intake air filter and any obstructions. If the intake air filter is facing a facility wall at least 6 feet of clearance is required. 5.2.5.2 Exhaust Clearance At least 8 feet of vertical clearance is required from the top of the exhaust fans to the building ceiling or any other obstructions that could impede exhaust air flow. CAUTION Installing the chiller in a building corner should be avoided. Placing the chiller in a corner prevents proper dissipation of the hot exhaust air and causes the exhaust air to re‐circulate into the chiller air intake. This leads to high refrigeration head pressure, poor chiller performance, and over‐heating the exhaust fan motors. CAUTION The chiller condenser fans are not designed for ducting. Ducting creates excessive backpressure on the fans and can cause the fan motors to overheat. Figure 4: Chiller Air Intake and Discharge Clearances 14 ...

Hypertherm, Inc. Part Number: 810540 Troubleshooting ‐ Inline Heater Temperature Limit Switch 9.2 Inline Heater Temperature Limit Switch The chiller is equipped with a mechanical, temperature limit switch that disengages (trips) the heater in the event of a malfunction to prevent excessive fluid temperatures that could result in fire hazards. If the switch has tripped it can be reset by performing the following steps: 1. Access the chiller’s air intake/filter side (refer to section 6.4 Internal Access). 2. Locate the temperature limit switch (refer to 3. Figure 41). 4. Unscrew the cap on the temperature limit switch to access the green reset button. 5. Press the reset button with a screwdriver of appropriate size until a tactile click is felt. If the button is loose and there is no click then the switch is already closed. If the button will not remain closed (engaged) after attempting to press, then the temperature of the pipe, in which the inline heater is located, is still too hot. Allow the pipe surface to cool before attempting to reset the switch. 6. Reinstall the cap on the temperature limit switch. 7. Reinstall the air intake filter(s) before restarting chiller. 9.3 Refrigeration High Pressure Switch WARNING The refrigeration discharge lines may be extremely hot – avoid contact. Resetting of the refrigeration high pressure switch should only be performed by qualified personnel equipped with proper safety gear and tools. The chiller’s refrigeration circuit is equipped with a mechanical, high pressure switch that disengages (trips) the refrigeration circuit when dangerously high pressures occur to prevent damage to the refrigeration system.

Hypertherm, Inc. Part Number: 810540 Maintenance ‐ Suggested Maintenance Checklist 10 Maintenance Establishing and following a proper maintenance schedule will substantially reduce down time, reduce repair costs and extend lifetime of the chiller. A suggested checklist has been provided in section 10.1 Suggested Maintenance Checklist. 10.1 Suggested Maintenance Checklist Items in this list should be initially performed on a weekly basis to determine their respective maintenance frequencies. For example, if a component requires cleaning or replacement after 12 weeks of operation then the maintenance frequency of that component is 12 weeks. Maintenance frequencies must be re‐established when operating environments or conditions have changed. 1. Inspect and clean the condenser coil and air intake filter Excessive buildup of dirt, oil and/or other debris on the condenser coil and air intake filters will cause reduced air flow rates for heat dissipation leading to lower cooling capacities. Ensure that the fins of the condenser coil are clean and undamaged. Use compressed air at no more than 30psi (2.0bar) to blow out the condenser coil and air intake filters in the direction opposite to normal air flow. For the condenser coil the cleaning air should enter the discharge side and exit from the intake side (refer to Figure 41 and Figure 42). The air intake filters show the direction of cleaning and installation. If the air filters cannot be cleaned then they must be replaced. Contact the factory for replacement parts if required. 2. Inspect the supply pressures. Record the supply pressure of both circuits after the initial startup and then periodically. If plumbing connections between the chiller and plasma system (hose lengths, fittings, valve positions, etc.) have remain unchanged it is expected that the supply pressures should remain relatively constant over time. An increase in pressure is indicative of a clogged filter/strainer or buildup of debris in the coolant circuits. 3. Inspect the cold water particulate filter. Inspect the particulate filter to determine if it needs to be replaced. Refer to Figure 41 for the location. ...
Hypertherm, Inc. Part Number: 810540 Maintenance ‐ Replacing the Particulate Filter Cartridge 6. Schedule planned maintenance services. Consult the factory to schedule and perform planned maintenance services on the chiller by qualified refrigeration technicians. 10.2 Replacing the Particulate Filter Cartridge The chiller’s process circuit is equipped with a particulate filter. Although this prolongs the lifespan of the Chiller, the filter cartridge will eventually deplete. The chiller monitors when the cartridge is no longer functional and will display a warning on the controller. If this warning occurs the cartridge must be replaced according to the following steps: 1. Shut the chiller down by turning the Local/Off/Remote Switch below the controller to the “O” position. 2. Access the chiller’s air intake/filter side (refer to section 6.4 Internal Access). 3. Locate the particulate filter refer to Figure 41. 4. Carefully unscrew the sump of the filter using the provided filter wrench (typically stored in the inside door pocket of the electrical enclosure when shipped). The sump will be full of coolant when removed. 5. Remove and discard the depleted filter cartridge and empty the sump of coolant. 6. Reinstall a new filter cartridge into the sump. 7. Reinstall the sump with the new filter cartridge taking care to ensure the sump o‐ring is properly seated. 8. Tighten the filter sump using the filter wrench. 9. Reinstall the air intake filter(s) before restarting chiller. 50 ...
