Thermo Cube: Chiller manual
Tubing
- A) Application section (2*100cm140cm): Our application tubing came with the CERN shipment is 8mm ID/11.5mm OD that fit well onto the cooling block thread nose. Need to terminate at two ends with Swagelock quick connect QC4-316. Is there a suitable part for the 8mm ID tubing (SS-QC4-DC-8M0) ? To avoid adapting metric-Imperial tubing, we also tried a 1/4" soft tubing and that seemed to get on the cooling block barb OK although a bit tight so we would go with the 1/4" ID and 3/8" OD tubing so that the two ends can fit onto the Swagelock quick connect (QC6-316(SS-QC6-D-600 / SS-QC6-B-600)
- B) Application joint to chiller Process In (30+15cm): Application joint is QC4QC6-316 with 13/48" OD tube (SS-QC4QC6-D-400600 / SS-QC4QC6-B-400600) for ~30cm then transition to a short (15cm) 1/2" tube to fit onto the hose barb from the HFC 12 series (rating only down to 0C ?) which can connect with the 3/8" CPC at chiller Process In.
- C) Application joint to filter (or Process Out) (30+15cm): similar piece like B), such that the hose barb end can plug directly into the chiller Process Out, or filter out.
- D) Filter: Not yet identified the exact part for the filter . Also in the ThermoCube manual. Only the mounting bracket at McMaster is found. Also needs caution whether filter is compatible with <0C coolant. The filter output end should be fitted with the 3/8" NPT shutoff as those on the chiller unit. Filter inlet (fitting unknown) needs to transition to 1/2" tuber over the 3/8" hose barb to connect to the chiller Process Out.
- E) Jacket insulation: At least all thinner tubing section should have foam jacket insulation to allow running coolant <~0C.
