Other recommendations include:

1. The allowable coolant temperature range is 4°C to 40°C (40°F to 105°F).

When using coolant at a temperature below the dew point of the
surrounding air, condensation could accumulate on the drive heatsink
and/or circuit boards and damage the drive. In this situation, install a
coolant flow regulating device and tube/hose insulation. A flow
regulating device modulates the coolant flow rate to a level that permits
the drive heatsink temperature to rise above the dew point. Insulation for
customer side tube or hose may be closed-cell foam insulation with
minimum 1/2-inch wall thickness.

2. Install a flow switch after the coolant outlet connection to shutoff the

drive if coolant flow drops below 4 gpm.

3. Circulate water through the drive only when the drive is also powered.

Failure to do this may result in condensation accumulating on the drive
heatsink and/or circuit boards, which could damage the drive.

4. For applications requiring a closed loop coolant system, ensure the

system is vented to remove air that would otherwise degrade the
performance of the drive heatsink.

B-Frame Coolant Connections

B-frame LPM15 drives have inlet and outlet connections as shown in

Figure 1.1

. O-ring fittings and copper tube are brazed to copper tubes

protruding from the heatsink.

Supply and return lines should be sized for 9 gpm/120 psi service with a
maximum operating temperature of 40°C (104°F). Actual operating flow
rate through the drive is 8 gpm with a pressure drop of 10 psi.

C-Frame Coolant Connections

C-frame LPM15 drives have inlet and outlet connections as shown in

Figure 1.2

O-ring fittings and copper tube are brazed to copper tubes

protruding from the heatsink.

Supply and return lines should be sized for 5 gpm/120 psi service with a
maximum operating temperature of 40°C (104°F). Actual operating flow
rate through the drive is 5 gpm with a pressure drop of 30 psi.

D-Frame Coolant Connections

D-frame LPM15 drives have inlet and outlet connections as shown in

Figure 1.3

. O-ring fittings and copper tube are bolted to the heatsink via a

two-bolt-hole flange and compressed fiber gasket.
