Deployed chillers
In the detector group, we use two types of chillers (both from the same manufacturer):
...
The controls for both chillers are (almost) identical. The same IOC can be used for both. The only difference I've seen is that the flow rate does not show up on the front panel of the smaller chiller.
Priming
...
In order to prime the chiller for use, use a short 3/8" tubing to connect the supply and return of the chiller and:
...
Once primed, we typically run the chiller at 15% pump drive, although if the flow is low (<1.1 LPM), one can bump it up. Lower pump drive settings tend to extend the chiller life.
Connectors, tubing
The connection of the tubing on the detector-side can be either 1/4" or 3/8" self-sealing quick connects. On the pump-side, they can be 1/4" (chiller-side is 3/8", output is 1/4") or 3/8" push-to-connect fittings:
