Torch Coolant Requirements
Note: Refer to the supplier’s most current Material Safety Data Sheet
for information regarding safety, handling, and storage of
torch coolant.
The Spirit200a system is shipped without torch coolant in the reservoir.
Coolant must be added before applying power to the system.
Only
use Kaliburn approved torch coolant solution for optimal system
performance as commercially available antifreeze contains corrosion
inhibitors that will damage the cooling system. The standard coolant
solution consists of 25% industrial grade propylene glycol and provides
freezing protection down to -13º C (9º F). The standard solution can be
ordered in one-gallon containers, PN 500695. For operating temperatures
below -13º C, a 50% solution of industrial grade propylene glycol can be
ordered in one-gallon containers, PN 500895, providing protection down to
-36º C (-33º F).
Failure to use the proper propylene glycol
solution may result in
cooling system and/or torch damage
.
The torch coolant should be flushed out of the Spirit system every six
months and replaced with new coolant. The water filter/deionization
cartridge should also be changed at the same time. See Section 7 for
details.
