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).

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 VFD COMFORT-DISPLAY. Three menu keys facilitate
adjusting setpoints, warning and safety functions and menu functions.
The integrated programmer allows storing and running temperature and time-
dependent processes.
“ICC - Intelligent Cascade Control“ represents the supreme solution temperature
control. ICC overs perfect temperature control with self-optimizing PID control
parameters.
The TCF -Temperature Control Features allow the user to have access to all
important temperature control parameters. This means: Full control on the control
mode and the chance to manually adjust or adapt control to the specific application.
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, switchable from RS232 to RS485, allows modern process
technology without additional interface.
Connection for Pt100 external sensor for external temperature measurement and
control.
The electronic module (option) provides 3 further analog connections (alarm input,
standby input, recorder output, programmer input).
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 VFD COMFORT-DISPLAY.
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
shutdown of the main functional elements.
Intelligent pump system: The pump capacity (electronically adjustable via the motor
speed) enables to adapt to varying conditions for internal and external temperature
applications.

overflowing of the fluid.

Safety notes for the user
18
•Prevent water from entering the hot bath oil.
•Do not drain the bath fluid while it is hot!
Check the temperature of the bath fluid prior to draining (e.g., by switching the
unit on for a short moment).
•Use suitable connecting tubing.
•Avoid sharp bends in the tubing, and maintain a sufficient distance from
surrounding walls.
•Make sure that the tubing is securely attached.
•Regularly check the tubing for material defects (e.g., for cracks).
•Never operate damaged or leaking units.
•Always turn off the unit and disconnect the mains cable from the power source
before performing any service or maintenance procedures, or before moving the
unit.
•Always turn off the unit and disconnect the mains cable from the power source
before cleaning the unit.
•Always empty the bath before moving the unit.
•Transport the unit with care.
•Sudden jolts or drops may cause damage in the interior of the unit.
•Observe all warning labels.
•Never remove warning labels.
•Never operate units with damaged mains power cables.
•Repairs are to be carried out only by qualified service personnel.
•Some parts of the bath tank and the pump connections may become extremely
hot during continuous operation. Therefore, exercise particular caution when
touching these parts.
Caution:
The unit may be used, for example, to control the temperature of fluids in a reactor.
We do not know what substances are contained in these vessels.
Many substances are:
•inflammable, easily ignited, or explosive
•hazardous to health
•environmentally hazardous
i.e.: dangerous
The user alone is responsible for the handling of these substances!
The following questions should help to recognize possible dangers and to reduce the
risks to a minimum.
•Are all tubes and electrical cables connected and layed?
Note:
sharp edges, hot surfaces in operation, moving machine parts, etc.
•Do dangerous vapors or gases develop during heating?
Must the work be done in a fume hood?
•What to do when a dangerous substance was spilled on or in the unit?
Before starting to work, obtain information concerning the substance and
determine the method of decontamination.

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 0.52 kg of refrigerant R404A, 1 m3 of space is required.
> For 0.423 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)

•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).
