EGK 2-19 (+) 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.
EGK 2-19 (+) 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).
EGK 2-19 (+) 4 Installation and connection 4.1 Installation site requirements The unit is only intended for use in enclosed areas in a 19” rack or wall-mounted. 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.
EGK 2-19 (+) 4.2.2 Connecting the heat exchanger The picture on the left shows the schematics for connecting two separate heat exchangers. To minimise gas wash out in the cooler, the two (identical) heat exchangers must be operated in series (right picture). This should be done as follows: Gas inlet line to red gas inlet on heat exchanger 2 (pre-cooling).
EGK 2-19 (+) 4.3 Electrical connections The operator must install an external separator for the device which is clearly assigned to this device. This separator – must be located near the device, – must be easy for the operator to reach, –...
EGK 2-19 (+) 4.4 Signal outputs At the back of the unit is a 12-pin PHÖNIX connector which provides various status signals. The maximum switching power of the alarm outputs is 250 VAC/DC, 1 A each. An alarm is triggered if the temperature of the cooler is outside the specified limits. It does not indicate if the alarm was triggered due to excess temperature or insufficient temperature.
EGK 2-19 (+) 5 Operation and control NOTICE The device must not be operated beyond its specifications. After switching on the cooler the block temperature will be displayed. The display will flash until the block temperature has reached the preset target value (± adjustable alarm range). The status contact is in the Alarm position.
EGK 2-19 (+) 5.1.1 Overview of the menu items Display of current temperature and operating state ____ Display ____ Displayed is the block temperature with a resolution of 0.5 °C / 0.75 °F. By pressing the Enter button brings the Current temperature display to the Main Menu.
EGK 2-19 (+) 5.1.2 Detailed description of the operational principle The detailed description will guide you through the menu step by step. Connect the unit to the power supply and wait for the startup procedure to complete. At first the software version im- plemented on the unit will be displayed for a brief period.
EGK 2-19 (+) 5.2.2 Submenu Cooler -> nominal temperature (temperature) This setting determines the nominal temperature for the cooler temperature. The value can be set to a range from 2 °C (35.6 °F) to 20 °C (68 °F). Note: The standard value at delivery is 5 °C (41 °F) (unless otherwise agreed). If the temperature is changed the indicator may blink, until the new operating range has been reached.
EGK 2-19 (+) 6 Maintenance If the cooler is delivered in basic configuration, no special maintenance is necessary. Nevertheless, depending on the configuration different options or accessories may be installed. In this case, follow the mainten- ance schedule in regular intervals.
EGK 2-19 (+) 7 Service and repair This chapter contains information on troubleshooting and correction should an error occur during operation. Repairs to the unit must be performed by Bühler authorised personnel. Please contact our Service Department with any questions: Tel.: +49-(0)2102-498955 or your agent...
