The chiller is shipped without coolant. The chiller is filled manually during instal-
lation. Use water as the coolant down to 40°F {4°C}. Below 40°F and down to
20°F {-7°C}, use an ethylene glycol or propylene glycol and water solution (see
Percent Glycol vs. Temperature chart).
To fill with water:
1 1
Attach water supply to Fill/Drain valve or the auto-fill port.
2 2
Close the To Process and From Process valves. (Factory Optional)
3 3
Open the Fill/Drain valve or water supply (auto-fill option) and fill chiller
to the fill mark on the Water Level gauge. If the chiller is overfilled, the
excess water spills out the vent tube. DO NOT OVERFILL.
4 4
Close the Fill/Drain valve.
5 5
Check the coolant level. When the chiller is turned on the coolant level drops
as the coolant begins to circulate, filling the connected plumbing. Check the
coolant level on the back of the chiller. The coolant level shows on the water
level gauge. Make sure coolant level is filled to the mark on the gauge. Add
more if needed.
