Refilling the Tank, To fill the reservoir | Conair MPW, MPA specification

The process fluid, which can be water or a glycol mixture, is held in a tank inside the unit. This tank should be kept at least three-quarters full of the process fluid.

REFILLING THE TANK

You can check the fluid level in the tank using the sight glass on the back of the chiller.

To fill the reservoir:

1

Locate the fill port at

2 the back of the chiller.

Refill the tank. Monitor the level using the sight glass on the back of the unit. Because chillers can use pure water or glycol mixtures, make sure you are adding the correct fluid for your application.

IMPORTANT: Do not use deionized water or glycol mixtures containing additives in a this chiller. Softened water or glycol mixtures with additives, such as automotive fluids, can damage the chiller.

Glycol/water process loop mixtures should use industrial-grade ethylene glycol only. Use a glycol mixture if operating temperatures are below 45° F

See FREEZE PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS in the

DESCRIPTION section for information on glycol mix- tures.
