1. Intended use
JULABO recirculating coolers have been designed to control the temperature of specific fluids in a
bath tank. The units feature pump connections for temperature control of external systems (loop
circuit).
JULABO recirculating coolers are not suitable for direct temperature control of foods,
semi-luxury foods and tobacco, or pharmaceutical and medical products. Direct
temperature control means unprotected contact of the object with the bath medium (bath
fluid).
1.1. Description
PID2
ATC3
RS232
PUMP
SMART
The recirculating coolers are operated via the splash-proof keypad. The
implemented microprocessor technology allows to set and to store different values
that can be indicated on the MULTI-DISPLAY (LED). Three menu keys facilitate
adjusting setpoints, warning and safety functions and menu functions.
The PID temperature control adapts the heat supplied to the thermal requirements
of the bath.
Absolute Temperature Calibration (ATC3) provides a high temperature stability in
the bath. With the 3-point calibration an offset is adjusted at three temperatures to
ensure an accurate temperature pattern at the selected spot in the bath over the
full temperature range.
Electrical connections:
The serial interface RS232 allows modern process technology without additional
interface.
The excess temperature protection conforming to IEC 61010-2-010 is a safety
installation independent from the control circuit. This protection can be indicated
and set on the MULTI-DISPLAY (LED).
The early warning system for low level signals that bath fluid needs to be refilled
before the low level protection conforming to IEC 61010-2-010 causes a complete
shut-down of the main functional elements.
The pump capacity (electronically adjustable via the motor speed) enables to adapt
to varying conditions for internal and external temperature applications.

5. Preparations
5.1. Installation
•Place the unit in an upright position.
For better stability, apply the holding brakes on the front casters.
•The place of installation should be large enough and provide
sufficient air ventilation to ensure the room does not warm up
excessively because of the heat the instrument rejects to the
environment. (Max. permissible ambient temperature: 35 °C).
For a fault (leakage) in the refrigeration system, the standard EN
378 prescribes a certain room space to be available for each kg of
refrigerant.
The refrigerant quantity is specified on the type plate.
> For 0.432 kg of refrigerant R452A, 1 m3 of space is required.
•Keep at least 20 cm of open space on the front and rear venting
grids.
•Do not set up the unit in the immediate vicinity of heat sources
and do not expose to sun light
•Before operating the unit after transport, wait about one hour
after installation. This will allow any oil that has accumulated
laterally during transport to flow back down, thus ensuring that the
compressor can develop its maximum capacity.
Recommendation:
Before filling please install a drain cock at the discharge nozzle. (25)
Connection: ½ " male (not included in delivery)
Order-No. 8 920 100 Drain cock, stainless steel

•Connect the tubing for cooling the external
system to the pump connectors (22, 23) for
feed and return on the rear of the recirculating
cooler.
•In case the system to be cooled is located at
a higher level than the recirculating cooler,
take note of bath liquid flowing back when the
unit is switched off. Should the filling volume
of the bath tank not be sufficient, prevent the
liquid from flowing back by using shut-off
valves.
Flood hazard!
For this reason, solenoid valves for loop
circuit or shut-off valves can be integrated in
the loop circuit.
Connect the valve to the connector (19).
Order No. Description

5.2.1. Tubing
Recommended tubing:
Maximum pressure
Textile-reinforced tubing
> 4.5 bar
Warning: Tubing:
At high working temperatures, the tubing used for temperature control and for the
cooling water supply represents a danger source.
A damaged tubing line may allow a large amount of hot bath fluid to be pumped out
within a short time.
This may result in:
•Burning of skin
•Breathing difficulties due to hot atmosphere
Safety instructions
•Use suitable connecting tubing.
•Make sure that the tubing is securely attached.
•Avoid sharp bends in the tubing and maintain a sufficient distance from
surrounding walls.
•Regularly check the tubing for material defects (e.g., for cracks), at least once a
year.
•Preventive maintenance: replace the tubing from time to time.
5.2.2. Bath fluids
Caution:
Carefully read the material safety data sheet of the bath fluid used, particularly with
regard to the fire point!
If a bath fluid with a fire point of ≤65 °C is used, only supervised operation is
possible.
Water:
The quality of water depends on local conditions.
•Due to the high concentration of lime, hard water is not suitable for temperature
control because it leads to scale in the bath
•Ferrous water can cause corrosion, even on stainless steel.
•Chlorinated water can cause pitting corrosion.
•Distilled water and deionized water are unsuitable. Their special properties
cause corrosion in the bath, even on stainless steel.
