WFS 101545 Operations Manual SECTION I OVERVIEW NOMENCLATURE NOTE: This message highlights a feature, function or procedure that may be helpful. CAUTION: This message warns of a condition that may have unintended negative action or consequences. It indicates a need for heightened diligence. WARNING: This message warns of a condition or procedure that has potential for physical injury or death.
WFS 101545 Operations Manual The WFS 101545 provides economies in two ways: Significantly reduces DI water consumption by reconditioning and reusing the water. Eliminates or reduces contaminated or hazardous liquid waste disposal by filtering out contaminates into a removable cartridge. The cartridge can be dried and the waste material can then be handled as solid waste.
WFS 101545 Operations Manual The system provides two (2) separate cooling circuits. One is specifically for cooling the dicing or sawing process. The other provides cooling water to the spindle or drive motors. Used process water is cooled by refrigeration, filtered and deionized. Used spindle cooling water is cooled by refrigeration in a separate circulating loop.

WFS 101545 Operations Manual filtered water. The chiller uses a Copeland FFAP-03OZ condensing unit with a two custom made evaporator units. It requires 208 -220 VAC 50-60 hz three phase electrical power. The evaporators use custom made titanium evaporation coils enclosed in schedule 80 PVC housing.
WFS 101545 Operations Manual Filtration The WFS uses proprietary stainless-steel housings that require three 20” disposable filter cartridges for filtration of the process water. The filters housings are arranged in two parallel sets of two. One set of two filters for the Internal Recirculating Loop and one set of two filters for the Process Loop.
WFS 101545 Operations Manual SETUP a. Floor Space Prior to installation consider the space required for proper servicing. Figure 4-1 provides recommended clearances for servicing the various components on the WFS 101545. 84” 2134m 39” AREA FOR SERVICING 1000m 39” FILTERS 1000m AREA...

WFS 101545 Operations Manual FIGURE 4-5 iii. Installing The Chiller CAUTION: The Chiller is heavy and awkward. Use proper equipment and personnel for installation. CAUTION: Ther may be sharp edges on some of the metal parts use proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) CAUTION: Use care when connecting the chiller unions.
WFS 101545 Operations Manual Ease the chiller into a position where all four unions line up with the mating parts. The union faces must be “flat” to one another. Verify that the O-rings are in place. Tighten the union. Install washers and nuts on the carriage bolts and tighten. Connect the Power Cord and the Solenoid Control Cord to the round receptacles on the bottom of the Control Panel.

WFS 101545 Operations Manual The power wires attach to the three lugs provided on the top of the distribution bus bar. The ground wire must be attached to the grounding terminal to the left of the bus bar. See Figure 4-8. CAUTION: Installation wiring must comply with local and national electrical codes.
WFS 101545 Operations Manual OPERATOR CONTROLS Other than the mechanical ON/OFF switch and the E-Stop push button all controls are through a touch screen HMI. See Figure 5-1 WARNING! The Control cabinet contains High Voltage electrical connections. Accidental contact with electrically live components can cause serious injury or death.
WFS 101545 Operations Manual This is illuminated when electrical power is on to the control system. d. Audible Alarm (Optional) An audible alarm is sounded if a fault condition is detected. See ALARMS section 5.e.vi e. Touch Screen HMI Display Panel All functions other than Power ON-OFF or E-Stop are controlled or displayed through the Touch Screen HMI.

WFS 101545 Operations Manual FIGURE 5-3 START / STOP / ENABLE The pumps are started and stopped and the chiller is enabled by pressing the appropriately labeled push button. If conditions permit (no critical alarms) each pump will start or stop immediately when the associated button is touched. The chiller is only enabled.

WFS 101545 Operations Manual for 10 minutes. The ALARM indicating light will remain illuminated reminding the operator that there is an alarm condition. The Alarm indicator may illuminate along with an audible alarm tone for a brief moment during start-up until the process flow exceeds set point. To view the specific cause of the alarm, select the ALARMS page.
Page 23
WFS 101545 Operations Manual The indicating light above TEMP SET POINT displays the status of the chiller and whether or not the system is calling for refrigeration. Actual cooling is only done when the Chiller compressor is running. TEMP DELTA (HYSTERISIS) This prevents the compressor motor from rapid cycling or “chattering”.

WFS 101545 Operations Manual This page does not permit any changes to the various set points. FIGURE 5-7 Set Points The SET-POINT page can be accessed from any other page simply by touching the SET POINTS button at the bottom of the current page. It also provides a digital display of the current process status.
Page 25
WFS 101545 Operations Manual This page permits the operator to select the trip point for when an alarm notification will be triggered. It can be used to notify when the filter needs to be switched over. It can provide notification if a critical process parameter is exceeded. For instance, if a maximum temperature for the process water was 75 F the TEMP ALARM could be set for that temperature and would trigger an alarm if it was exceeded.
WFS 101545 Operations Manual ALARM DISMISS To dismiss or ignore a particular alarm move the associated slide switch to “ON” position by touching the “ON” side of the image. This will permanently silence the alarm and ignore the fault. CAUTION: The alarm condition still exists.
