Page 15: Cooler & Tubing Confi Guration
Cooler & Tubing Confi guration Depending on the cooling blocks (“coolers”) in your Koolance system and nozzle sizes (1/4”, 3/8”, etc.), they may be connected in series, parallel, or a mixture of both for best performance. Recommended confi gurations are illustrated below. - Page 16 It is not uncommon to see fi ve or more coolers in a Koolance system, but the limit is usually at what temperature you are comfortable with. Remember, liquid at higher temperatures is still considerably more effective at carrying heat than air at the same temperature.

Page 18: Disconnecting Hoses
Disconnecting Hoses Hoses are designed to snug fi rmly around the nozzle. If you need to remove a hose for any reason, it may not pull off easily, even after unscrewing the compression fi tting. Usually, a connection will come free by squeezing the hose on top of the nozzle and pulling away. -

The RP-1000’s powerful single pump can not be run WARNING “dry” for any period of time. Never power-on the computer or cool- ing system without suffi cient liquid in the reservoir. Dry-running (and thereby damaging the pump) is not covered under the Koolance product warranty. Filling & Maintenance... -

Dry the system thoroughly before proceeding. Slowly fi ll the system using the supplied bottle and fun- nel. To maintain the product warranty, use only Koolance approved coolant. Many alternative “liquid coolants” and additives can cause permanent damage to Koolance equipment and computer hardware. - Page 25 Do not overfi ll the reservoir. It is recommended to keep paper towels on hand just in case. The liquid coolant should be fi lled up to about 6mm (1/4”) from the reservoir’s top. This small gap will catch air as it circulates through the system. Replace the refi...
