Service/maintenance OPERATION MANUAL Chapter 7 Thermal fluid is not inspected on a regular basis DAMAGE TO THE HEAT EXCHANGER AND/OR ELECTROMECHANICAL PARTS. Regularly check your thermal fluid whether it meets the specifications in the safety data sheet. Oxidation Oxidation ages the thermal fluid and changes its characteristics (e.g. reduced boiling point). The reduced boiling point may cause overflow of very hot thermal fluids during temperature control of high temperatures.
Service/maintenance Chapter 7 OPERATION MANUAL The pump flow can be closed by using >Circulation flow< [1] and >Circulation return< [2] but do not do so while the temperature control unit is in operation. The pump may be switched off due to overheating or high power consumption if the temperature control unit is operated with a shut pump flow.
The decontamination process depends on the type and quantity of the materials used. Consult the relevant safety data sheet. You will find a prepared return receipt at www.huber-online.com. As the responsible body you are responsible for carrying out decontamination before third-party personnel come into contact with the temperature control unit / accessory.
