▪ For more information about the pre-installed gas detection sensor:
-
The built-in gas detection sensor enables a safety shutdown at 20% of the lower explosive
limit via a power disconnect relay that is to be installed by the responsible body. The
temperature control unit is thus switched off early and safely in case of fault.
-
A 24 V DC external power supply must be available for the pre-installed gas warning sen-
sor. The alarm output of the gas warning sensor uses a 4 - 20 mA signal. Please refer to the
data sheet of the gas warning sensor for further technical information. A separate pro-
cessing unit is available as an accessory for the control of the power disconnect relay. The
processing unit provides a potential-free switching contact and simultaneously provides
the power supply and analysis of the gas warning sensor. Both variants require the respon-
Classifying the applica-
tion field
sible body to provide the necessary dimensioning and installation. Please refer to the data
sheet of the gas warning sensor for the technical information necessary for the installa-
tion. The alarm of the gas detection system can be connected to the responsible body’s
alarm control unit. The responsible body is responsible for this and for the other measures.
-
The responsible body is responsible for the calibration of the gas detection sensor prior to
initial operation and the observance of calibration and maintenance intervals according to
the operation manual. We recommend to set calibration and maintenance intervals be-
tween 6 and 12 months if no information is provided. For increased safety requirements,
shorter intervals can be specified. On request we will recommend a specialist company to
carry out the calibration and maintenance.
1.4.1.3
Temperature control units with fluorinated greenhouse gases/refrigerants
F gases regulation (EC) No. 517/2014 of April 16, 2014, on fluorinated greenhouse gases, and re-
pealing Regulation (EC) No. 842/2006.
These regulations deal with all systems that contain fluorinated refrigerants. The substances dealt
with in Directive (EC) No. 1005/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 September
2009 that deplete the ozone layer are excluded (CFC/HCFC).
The directive regulates the reduction of the emission, utilization, recovery, and destruction of cer-
tain fluorinated greenhouse gases. It also regulates the identification and disposal of products and
devices that contain these gases. Since July 4, 2007, responsible bodies must check their stationary
refrigeration systems for leaks at regular intervals, and have any leaks eliminated immediately.
Directive (EC) No. 303/2008 contains stipulations on the training and certification of companies and
personnel that are permitted to execute the specified activities.
Obligations of the responsible bodies:
▪ Directive (EC) No. 842/2006 already imposed a number of obligations upon responsible bodies
regarding certain fluorinated greenhouse gases. The new Ordinance on Fluorinated Greenhouse
Gases upholds these to a large extent. Some duties are added while others are designed different-
ly by this new ordinance. Please refer to the text of this ordinance for a complete overview of the
individual responsibilities of responsible bodies.
▪ General obligation to reduce emissions.
▪ Only certified companies may maintain, repair or decommission refrigeration systems. The re-
sponsible bodies must verify that these companies are certified.
▪ Regular leak tests of stationary refrigeration systems by certified personnel (such as Huber service
engineers). The required test interval is based on the refrigerant filling capacity and the type of
refrigerant, converted to CO22 equivalent.
▪ Responsibility of responsible bodies operating a plant to recover F-gases by certified personnel.
▪ Obligatory documentation requirement in the refrigeration system’s operation manual, specifying
type and volume of refrigerant used or recovered. The responsible body must keep the records
for at least 5 years after their creation and present it to the responsible authority upon request.
▪ Temperature control units with natural refrigerants (NR) are exempt from this Directive.
▪ Please refer to the data sheet or rating plate of your temperature control unit for the quantity
and type of refrigerant.
▪ Additional information about the definition of the inspection interval can be found on our web-
site.
1.4.2
Requirements for operators
Work on the temperature control unit is reserved for appropriately qualified specialists, who have
been assigned and trained by the responsible body to do so. Operators must be at least 18 years old.
Under 18-year olds may operate the temperature control unit only under the supervision of a quali-
fied specialist. The operator is responsible vis-a-vis third-parties in the work area.
1.4.3
Obligations of the operators
Carefully read the operation manual before operating the temperature control unit. Please observe
the safety instructions. When operating the temperature control unit, wear appropriate personal
protective equipment (e.g. safety goggles, protective gloves, non-slip shoes).
Description of workstation
The workstation is located at the control panel in front of the temperature control unit. The work-
station is determined by the customer's connected peripheries. Accordingly, it must be designed
safe by the responsible body. The workstation design also depends on the applicable requirements
of the German occupational health and safety regulations [BetrSichV] and the risk analysis for the
workstation.

1.5.3.1
Power interruption
Following a power outage (or when switching on the temperature control unit), this function can be
used to determine how the temperature control unit is supposed to respond.
Auto start function switched off
The temperature control is started only by manual input when the temperature control unit is
turned on.
Auto start function switched on
The temperature control unit is set to the same state it was in before the power outage. For exam-
ple, before the power outage: Temperature control is off; after power outage: Temperature control
is off. If temperature control was active during a power outage, the process will automatically con-
tinue after the power outage.
→ Page 33, section »Changing the Auto-Start function«.

Exemplary illustrations of the cooling variants
Example: Air and
water cooling
Consequence of inadequate energy dissipation
Room air/cooling water
Consequences of, for instance, contamination of the liquefier fins, inadequate clearance between
temperature control unit to wall/bath wall, room air/cooling water too warm, cooling water differ-
ential pressure too low, suction strainer contamination: The refrigerant in the coolant circuit can no
longer fully discharge the admitted energy to the room air/cooling water. Thus there is not sufficient
liquefied refrigerant available, the condensation temperature and the energy consumption to rise.
Coolant circuit
Consequences of inadequate refrigerant quantity/rising condensation temperature: Not all the
cooling capacity from the coolant circuit is available at the evaporator. This means reduced energy
transmission from the thermal fluid circuit.
Thermal fluid circuit
Consequence of inadequate energy dissipation from the thermal fluid: The thermal fluid can only
dissipate the energy from your application to a limited extent.
Application
Consequences of inadequate energy dissipation from the application: The energy created (exother-
mic) in the application can no longer be fully dissipated.
Temperature control unit
An electronically-controlled expansion valve is used in the temperature control unit to optimize the
power adjustment. The expansion valve always provisions the maximum possible cooling capacity
within the permissible ambient temperature range. The temperature control unit switches off when
the upper range is reached (maximum permissible ambient temperature).
Air cooling: Air inlet
Water cooling: Water

Overpressure in the application (e.g. > 0.5 bar (g) with glass apparatus)
MATERIAL DAMAGE TO THE APPLICATION
Provide an overpressure protective device to prevent damage to the application.
Do not install valves/quick-release couplings in the feed/discharge lines from the temperature
control unit to the application and from the application to the temperature control unit.
If valves/quick-release couplings are required:
Install burst disks on the application itself (at the feed and discharge lines).
Install a bypass upstream of the valves/quick-release couplings for the application.
Matching accessories (e.g. bypasses to reduce pressure) can be found in the Huber catalog.
To enable your application to be operated correctly and eliminate air bubbles from the system, you
must ensure that the >Circulation flow< [1] connection from the temperature control unit is at-
tached to the lower connection point of the application and the >Circulation return< [2] into the
temperature control unit is attached to the higher connection point of the application.
PROCEDURE
Remove the screw plugs from the >Circulation flow< [1] and >Circulation return< [2] connec-
tions.
Then connect your application to the temperature control unit using suitable thermal fluid hoses.

Function description of the temperature control unit
3.1.1
General functions
This temperature control unit is designed for externally closed applications. → Page 28, section
»Connecting an externally closed application«.
Circulating coolers are temperature control units, which are mainly used to dissipate process heat as
well as a cost effective alternative to cooling water (drinking water).
A rotary evaporator and a vacuum pump can be placed on top of the temperature control unit to
save space.
Due to powerful refrigeration engineering, short cooling rates can be achieved.
3.1.2
Other functions
A pump ensures good circulation of the thermal fluid. The LED display shows the current tempera-
ture. A new setpoint can be easily entered with a simple keyboard.
3.2
Information on the thermal fluids
Non-compliance with the safety data sheet for the thermal fluid to be used
INJURIES
Risk of injury to the eyes, skin, respiratory tract.
The safety data sheet for the thermal fluid to be used must be read prior to using it and its
content must be respected.
Observe the local regulations/work instructions.
Wear your personal protective equipment (e.g. temperature-resistant safety gloves, safety
goggles, safety footwear).
Danger of slipping because floor and work area are contaminated. Clean the workplace; ob-
serve the proper disposal of thermal fluid and aids. → Page 15, section »Proper disposal of re-
sources and consumables«.
Non-compliance with the compatibility between the thermal fluid and your temperature control
unit
MATERIAL DAMAGE
Observe the classification of your temperature control unit according to DIN 12876.
Ensure the following materials are resistant with respect to the thermal fluid: Stainless steel
1.4301/ 1.4401 (V2A), copper, nickel, FKM, red bronze/brass and silver solder.
The maximum viscosity of the thermal fluid must not exceed 50 mm²/s at the lowest working
temperature!
The maximum density of the thermal fluid may not exceed 1 kg/dm³!
Mixing different thermofluids in a thermal fluid circuit
PROPERTY DAMAGE
Do not mix different types of thermofluid (such as mineral oil, silicone oil, synthetic oil, water,
etc.) in a thermofluid circuit.
The thermal fluid circuit must be rinsed when changing from one type of thermal fluid to an-
other. No residues of the previous type of thermal fluid may remain in the thermal fluid circuit.

→ From page 50, section »Annex«.
3.3
To be noted when planning the test
Observe the intended operation. → Page 14, section »Proper operation«.
The focus is on your application. Bear in mind that system performance is influenced by heat trans-
fer, temperature, thermal fluid viscosity, volume flow, and flow speed.
▪ Make sure the electrical connection is adequately dimensioned.
▪ The installation location of the temperature control unit should be selected so as to ensure ade-
quate fresh air, even with water-cooled chillers.
▪ The maximum flow pressure of a temperature control unit must be taken into account in case of
pressure-sensitive applications, such as glass reactors.
▪ Cross-section reduction or shut-off in the thermal fluid circuit must be avoided. Take appropriate
measures to limit the pressure in the system. Observe the data sheet of your glass apparatus and
the data sheet of your temperature control unit. → From page 50, section »Annex«.
▪ Check whether it is necessary to use an external bypass for temperature control units without
pressure limitation.
▪ In order to prevent the risk of overpressure in the system, the thermal fluid must always be ad-
justed to room temperature before switching off. This will prevent damage to the temperature
control unit or the application. Any isolating valves must remain open (pressure equalization).
▪ Select the thermal fluid to be used in such a way that it not only permits the minimum and maxi-
mum working temperature but is also suitable with regard to fire point, boiling point, and viscosi-
ty. In addition, the thermal fluid must be compatible with all the materials in your system.
▪ Avoid bending the temperature control and cooling water hoses (if required). Use suitable angle
pieces and lay the hose connections with a large radius. Take the minimum bending radius from
the data sheet of the temperature control hoses used.
▪ The selected hose connections must be able to withstand the thermal fluid, the working tempera-
tures and the admissible maximum pressure.
▪ Check the hoses at regular intervals for any material fatigue (e.g. cracks, leaks).
▪ Keep the temperature control hoses as short as possible
-
The inside diameters of the temperature control hoses must correspond at least to the
pump connections. Select bigger inside diameters for longer line lengths to compensate
for pressure loss in the piping.
-
The viscosity of the thermal fluid determines the pressure drop and influences the tem-
perature control result, especially at low working temperatures.
-
Too small connectors and couplers and valves can generate significant flow resistance.
Your application will therefore be slower to reach its design temperature.
▪ Basically, you should only use the thermal fluid recommended by the manufacturer and only
within the usable temperature and pressure range.
Thermal fluid: Water
▪ The application should be roughly at the same height of or below the temperature control unit if
the temperature control is close to the boiling temperature of the thermal fluid.
▪ Fill the temperature control unit slowly, carefully and evenly. Wear the necessary personal pro-
tective equipment, such as goggles, heat-proof and chemically resistant gloves, etc.
▪ The temperature control circuit must be vented after filling and setting all required parameters.
This is required to ensure trouble-free operation of the temperature control unit and hence your
application.
For water-cooled temperature control units, please take the cooling water temperature necessary
for perfect operation and the required differential pressure from the data sheet. → From page 50,
section »Annex«.

Non-compliance with the safety data sheet for the thermal fluid to be used
INJURIES
Risk of injury to the eyes, skin, respiratory tract.
The safety data sheet for the thermal fluid to be used must be read prior to using it and its
content must be respected.
Observe the local regulations/work instructions.
Wear your personal protective equipment (e.g. temperature-resistant safety gloves, safety

Danger of slipping because floor and work area are contaminated. Clean the workplace; ob-
serve the proper disposal of thermal fluid and aids. → Page 15, section »Proper disposal of re-
sources and consumables«.
Semi-automatic venting
DAMAGE TO THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL UNIT
An elevated tolerance time for the pressure drop can damage the pump if the thermal fluid
level in the system is also too low.
Constantly observe the thermal fluid level on the >Level indicator/Level< [25]. Fill up the thermal
fluid during the venting phase so the thermal fluid level does not fall below the minimum mark.
Calculate whether the capacity of the >Expansion vessel< [18] can absorb the expansion volume
during operation. Assume the following volumes for this calculation: [Minimum filling capacity of
the temperature control unit] + [Volume of the thermal fluid hoses] + [Jacket volume of your appli-
cation] + [10% / 100 K].
▪ During the fill process, ensure any necessary measures, such as earthing the tanks, funnels and
other aids, have been taken.
▪ Fill to the lowest possible height.
PROCEDURE
Ensure that a hose was installed at the >Overflow< [12] (if installed).
The other end of the hose must be inserted in a suitable collecting container. Excess thermal flu-
id will leak at this point when the temperature control unit is overfilled. Hose and container must
be resistant to the thermal fluid and the temperature.
Manually open the >Filling port< [17].
Carefully pour suitable thermal fluid, using the filling accessories (funnel and/or beaker) into the
>Filling port< [17]. The thermal fluid flows into the temperature control unit and through the
hose connections to the external application. The fill levels are displayed in the >Level indica-
tor/Level< [25] Follow the instructions for the proper disposal when cleaning filling accessories.
→ Page 15, section »Proper disposal of resources and consumables«.
Switch on the temperature control unit.
Set the setpoint to 20 °C. → Page 33, section »Set/change setpoint«.
Fill levels in the >Level
indicator/Level< [25]
Start the circulation by pressing the >Start/Stop button< [E].
Refill thermal fluid. Observe the fill level in the >Level indicator/Level< [25] The filling/venting
process is complete when the thermal fluid is 1 cm below the max. mark of the >Level indica-
tor/Level< [25].
If, with externally closed applications (reactors), the fluid level in the fill level display remains the same
when the pump is running and when the pump has stopped, the application has been vented.
Stop the circulation by pressing the >Start/Stop button< [E].
Switch off the temperature control unit.
Manually close the >Filling port< [17].
Check the level of the collecting container at regular intervals. Empty the container when neces-
sary and dispose of its contents properly.

Venting must be performed especially during commissioning and after a change of thermal fluid. This is
the only way to ensure trouble-free operation.
Note that the volume expansion of the thermal fluid depends on the working temperature range you
wish to work in. At the “lowest” working temperature, do not go below the minimum mark of the >Lev-
el indicator/Level< [25] and at the “highest” working temperature, do not go above the maximum mark.
In case of overfilling, drain the excess amount of thermal fluid. → Page 37, section »Draining externally
closed applications«. Check if the thermal fluid can be reused. Follow the instructions for the proper
disposal. → Page 15, section »Proper disposal of resources and consumables«.
