2.7. Water Requirements

WARNING: To prevent damage to the AGV3D, do not attach a water hose to an air fitting
or an air hose to a water fitting.
WARNING: Use distilled water as the coolant in the AGV3D water-cooling system. To
prevent corrosion and damage to the cooling circuit, additives must be compatible with the
materials found in the cooling circuit. These materials include brass, stainless steel,
aluminum (plain or anodized), nickel plating, polyurethane, nylon, and nitrile rubber. If
distilled water cannot be used, contact the factory to discuss the specifics of your
application.
If the -WC (water cooling) option was purchased, use this option to cool the galvo motors and the
AGV3D enclosure.
Use distilled water and a chiller that is sized to deliver 0.35 GPM (gallons per minute) at 60 psid. Use
nylon tubes with an outer diameter of 6 mm to deliver and retrieve the coolant from the scan head. Use
of a corrosion inhibitor additive meant for multi-metal cooling channels can help increase the life of
components in the water-cooling circuit.
