QUICK COOL REQUIREMENTS
NOTE:
The Quick Cool is standard in the LS-15E/15IIE units. The main purpose of the quick cool coil is to rapidly cool
down the distillation tank after a cycle is complete, which allows the user to run multiple shifts each day. If the user
does not intend to run multiple shifts, FTI recommends not plumbing the quick cool coil.
The Little Cooler is designed only for condenser cooling. Do not attach it to the quick-cool coil (use tap water
for the quick cool).
Plumb the quick cool coil with hard piping only.
An air inlet valve must be installed to properly vent the system. This allows the line to be adequately drained after
each use (see cooling diagram). Always completely drain the quick cool coil after each use or the next cycle will
be prolonged and/or possible damage to the unit may occur.
A check valve should be installed on the outlet side of the quick cool to prevent backpressure or back flow into the
system from down steam (see cooling diagram), which will hinder the cycle time of the next cycle.
Minimum cooling water flow required for the quick cool is 1-3 gallons per minute for the LS-15E/15IIE and 2-5
gallons per minute for the LS-55E/55IIE.
