Chiller requirements

Caution:

the cooling system must have a filter that allows the coolant to meet the

specifications for particles shown below. Failure to use a filter capable

of meeting the particle requirements can cause damage to expensive

optical components and could be cause for denial of warranty claims on

these components.

Coolant

Acceptable types of coolant

Distilled water

Drinkable tap water

Water/glycol mixture (see “Usage of inhibitors/additives” below)
Deionized water is NOT allowed
