1.6 Circulating Bath Fluid Connections To External Apparatus
On circulating baths, the pump inlet and outlet are internally threaded with female 1 /
4
inch NPT to allow
use of barbed tubing adapters or hard plumbing. Or, you can slide
1
/
2
inch (13mm) ID tubing over
each pipe and hold it in place with a hose clamp.
Select tubing and fittings that are compatible with bath fluid and temperature range. If the pump inlet
and outlet are not used for external circulation, for best results connect the inlet and outlet pipes with a
short length of insulated tubing. Or, plug the pipes with male nylon plugs (supplied) or with metal
plugs (not supplied) for high temperature use.
The nylon barbed tubing adapter fittings supplied are for applications from -20° to 93°C. Brass,
stainless steel or Teflon® fittings are recommended for applications above 93°C. Quick connectors are
not recommended as they typically restrict flow rate.
Section 2. Operation
2.1 Location
Locate your circulator on a level surface free from drafts and direct sunlight. Do not place it where
there are corrosive fumes, excessive moisture, high room temperatures, or excessively dusty areas.
Refrigerated circulators must be four inches minimum away from walls or vertical surfaces so air flow is
not restricted. Avoid voltage drops by using properly grounded power outlets wired with 14 gauge or
larger diameter wire and if possible, be close to the power distribution panel. The use of extension
cords is not recommended, this will avoid low line voltage problems.
2.2 Filling the Reservoir
The maximum fill level is one inch below the top of the reservoir. When in operation, add additional
fluid to compensate for any additional volume needed for external circulation.
Minimum liquid depth is
enough to fully cover the heater, pump, and one inch of the temperature sensor. If the proper fluid level
is not maintained, the heater coil may become exposed and possible damage to the heater may result.
Warning: These units are equipped with Over Temperature Protection (OTP). Failure due to low
liquid level or failure to set OTP and properly immerse the heater may result in heater burnout
and triac failure. While operating, do not allow the heater to contact any potentially flammable
materials such as plastic racks or sides of plastic tanks as a fire hazard may result.
