TC-MINI 2 Safety instructions 2.1 Important advice Operation of the device is only valid if: – the product is used under the conditions described in the installation- and operation instruction, the intended application according to the type plate and the intended use. In case of unauthorized modifications done by the user Bühler Technolo- gies GmbH can not be held responsible for any damage, –...
TC-MINI 2.2 General hazard warnings The equipment must be installed by a professional familiar with the safety requirements and risks. Be sure to observe the safety regulations and generally applicable rules of technology relevant for the installation site. Prevent malfunctions and avoid personal injuries and property damage. The operator of the system must ensure: –...
TC-MINI 3 Transport and storage Only transport the product inside the original packaging or a suitable alternative. The equipment must be protected from moisture and heat when not in use. It must be stored in a covered, dry and dust-free room at a temperature of -20 °C to 60 °C (-4 °F to 140 °F).
TC-MINI 4 Installation and connection 4.1 Installation site requirements The unit is only intended for wall-mounted use in enclosed areas. Adequate protection from the weather must be provided when used outdoors. Install the unit leaving enough room below the cooler to discharge the condensate. Leave room above for the gas supply. Be sure to maintain the approved ambient temperature.
TC-MINI 4.2.1 Connecting the filter gas connections (optional) The connection G1/4 or NPT 1/4” (filter head marked NPT) for the gas outlet must be carefully and properly connected using a suitable screw connection. When ordering the cooler with the option filter without Moisture detector, a bypass may be connected to the filter head. The filter head is intended for a G1/4 internal screw thread which is plugged at the factory.

TC-MINI 4.4 Settings Remarks on outlet dew point Not all applications require an outlet dew point of 5 °C. In some applications a higher dew point is sufficient. In other applica- tions a stable outlet dew point doesn’t matter, it’s enough for the gas to be dry, so for the outlet dew point to have an adequate difference in temperature below the ambient temperature.
