1. Health and Safety Information 1.1 General In normal operation the system is designed to operate safely. All users of the KMW3000C water chiller unit should be aware of potential hazards which exist in and around equipment of this type and the ways of avoiding possible injury and equipment damage which may result from inappropriate ways of working.
Check that lifting points are used only for the job intended. The system itself and some components are heavy and require careful handling. Use safe lifting procedures for heavy items to prevent possible strain injury. KMW3000C Version 1 USER MANUAL Page 2...
It should be stressed that those parts of the equipment which are interchangeable, and which are subject to deterioration during operation, may significantly affect the safety of the equipment. KMW3000C Version 1 USER MANUAL Page 3 KMW3000CChiller v1.1.doc...
2.3 System Description The KMW3000C is a stand-alone chiller unit intended for indoor use. It is designed to be used to cool X-ray generators and X-ray tubes within a laboratory environment. The purpose of the KMW3000C is to stabilise the temperature of the cooling water supplied to X-ray generators and X-ray tubes.
Quick-release type designed for pipes of size 10 x 3 mm External water supply flow rate 0.6 l/min/kW (at 12 ºC tap water inlet temperature) External water supply pressure 0.5 - 5 bar KMW3000C Version 1 USER MANUAL Page 5 KMW3000CChiller v1.1.doc...
4.2 Operating Principles 4.2.1 Tap water circuit Tap water from the mains supply passes through a filter on the front of the KMW3000C. The water then enters the unit through a manual cut-off valve, before passing to the temperature-modulated valve. The temperature-modulated valve controls the temperature stabilisation in the closed water circuit, and the consumption of tap water.
Water then passes through the front panel of the KMW3000C to the devices to be cooled. Water returning from the devices passes through the front panel of the KMW3000C via a manual valve.
4.3 Interfaces 4.3.1 Water Supply Four water connections are located on the front panel of the KMW3000C. The closed circuit connectors are combined with manual valves. The connectors are of the Jubilee Clip type and are designed for pipes of size 10 x 3 mm.

4. Always lift the packing case from the bottom using suitable lifting equipment (refer to list of component weights in the following section. 5. Move the packing case into the designated installation site. 6. Contact Oxford Diffraction to notify them that the equipment is awaiting installation by a factory trained service representative. 5.1.2 Unpacking 1.
The mains plug should be readily reachable by the operator when the equipment has been installed. 5.2.1.4 Water Supply Prepare 30 litres of clean, filtered tap water to fill the reservoir. 5.2.2 Setting to Work The location of connectors on the KMW3000C is shown in figure 5.2.1. KMW3000C Version 1 USER MANUAL Page 11...
Ensure that the water connections are made such that the water flows through the X-ray generator and tube in the correct direction. Failure to do this could cause the X-ray generator/tube to overheat. 1. Connect the water pipes between the KMW3000C and the equipment to be cooled. Refer to figure 5.2.2. X-ray generator...
4. Refit the top covers on the KMW3000C. 5. Open all three red manual valves on the front of the KMW3000C. The red tap should be in line with the water pipe when the valve is open. 6. Plug the KMW3000C mains power cable into the mains supply.
3. Switch on the KMW3000C by turning the key switch to the right. NOTE: The KMW3000C performs a flow control procedure, which lasts 2 to 4 seconds. 4. After a few seconds, check that the green light on the front panel is illuminated.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE 7. Maintenance Schedule 7.1 Introduction Maintenance must be performed to ensure that the KMW3000C system continues to operate safely and reliably. This maintenance is detailed in the maintenance schedule given below. WARNING Failure to perform scheduled maintenance tasks properly and at the correct intervals can affect the safety and performance of this system.
Ensure that the power is switched off at the mains and that the plug has been disconnected from the mains power supply before removing the top of the KMW3000C. Dangerous voltages are present on the KMW3000C’s terminals when the power is on.
When: As required Tools: None Procedure 1. Switch off the KMW3000C. 2. Remove the plug from the electricity socket. 3. Close the manual valve on the tap water inlet. 4. Remove the filter cover. 5. Remove the filter 6. Clean the filter under clean running water.
Remove the air from the closed water illuminated. circuit by restarting the KMW3000C several times (usually 3 to 5 times) until the pump operates continuously. Yellow light is illuminated, The closed water circuit is...
