Chillers installed below the end-user application may enable system fluid to
drain back into the chiller and cause spillage. Thermo Fisher offers an anti-
drainback kit to prevent any spillage, see Section 5.
Air-cooled chillers can be installed with both sides blocked, or one side and
the rear. See Figure 3-1. The front needs a minimum clearance of 24". Air
enters the front of the system and exits through the sides and rear.
Having two sides blocked can impact the chiller's performance due to
changes in air flow. If your installation requires two blocked sides please
ensure that the following requirements are met:
Process Setpoint Temperature: Below 30°C (86°F)
Ambient: Below 40°C (104°F)
Before operating the chiller in conditions outside any of those listed in this
manual please contact Thermo Fisher Scientific's Sales, Service and Customer
Support to review your installation.
