Operating Instructions

For the 6510 Water Handling System

Purpose

The 6510 Water Handling System acts as a cooling and circulating water source for maintaining a constant jacket temperature in the 6200 Isoperibol Calorimeter. It also provides a convenient and consistent means for filling the bucket in a Parr 6200 or 6100 Compensated Jacket Calorimeter. Either one or two 6200 Calorimeters can be served from a single 6510 System.

Description

The system consists of a 20 liter, temperature controlled, tank with a built in circulating pump, an attached glass delivery pipet and provision for continuous filtration of all water in the system. This is a closed circuit system in which water is re-used continuously.

When the 6510 System is used with a 6200 Calorimeter, water from the tank is delivered to the temperature control manifold at the rear of the calorimeter and returned in a closed loop, thereby maintaining a constant temperature in the calorimeter.

The water handling system can be used to supply water not only to the calorimeter jacket but also to the bucket through an attached delivery pipet. The choice of oxygen bomb size will dictate the pipet choice as follows:

Oxygen Bomb Pipet Volume Pipet Part Number Support Assembly

1108 2000 mL 167HW A335HW 1104 1850 mL 167HW2 A335HW 1109 450 mL 167HW3 A335HW2

A maximum of two pipets may be installed on the water handler. Only one pipet may be filling the bucket at any one time.

Temperature controlled water flows continuously through the glass delivery pipet and back to the tank to maintain a constant water temperature in the pipet for filling the calorimeter bucket with repeatable volumes. Flow through the pipet stops when the stopcock is opened to fill the calorimeter bucket. The pipet refills automatically when the stopcock is turned back to a closed position. At the end of each test, the user will empty the bucket water into the reservoir where it is released slowly into the tank so as not to cause a sudden change in temperature.

NOTE: Do not leave the stopcock dry as the Teflon will seize in the glass.

Incorporated in the system is a solid-state water chiller that is capable of removing and dissipating the heat in the returned bucket water produced during calorimetric testing, thus maintaining the water at a constant temperature for repeatable test temperatures.

Required Accessories and Utilities

Approximately 15 L of water with a total hardness of less than 85 ppm is required for filling the tank of the system.

Installation

Install the 6510 System near the calorimeter so that the water connections are kept short. The water system can be installed in any convenient location however care should be taken that heat from the compressor on the left side of the Water Handling System not reach the calorimeter. Additionally, air must be allowed to move freely around the cooling fan on the back of the 6510 System. The supply voltage must be within ± 10% of marked nominal voltage on the instrument. The supply voltage receptacle must have an earth ground connection.

Make the tubing connections as illustrated in Figure-1.

Note: It is critical to keep the tubing between the calorimeter and the water system as short as possible and eliminate any uphill runs or kinks. This will impede the free flow of water from the calorimeter.

Pipet Installation

The A335HW pipet support brackets can be installed on either side of the water handling system. There are four mounting screws (TA1632PP06) located on each side of the water handler. The pipet is installed by slightly tilting and inserting the round top portion of the pipet into the hole in the pipet support. The lower support bracket holds the pipet from underneath by inserting the pipet into the slotted end of the bracket.

Insert the 148C, 3-way PTFE stopcock plug into the pipet and secure it using only enough tension on the spring loaded retaining nut to prevent leakage. Insert the short

/8” OD Nylon tube into a three-inch length of black latex tubing furnished with the system. Attach the tubing to the discharge tube that extends downward from the stopcock. This provides a flexible tip to prevent breakage if the bucket were to strike the discharge tube during the filling operation. Extending the discharge tube into the bucket also minimizes splashing of the water while the bucket is filling.

The pipet outlet on the back panel is a

/8” tube connection. A 219HW barb connector is provided to install the JR0056TB125A tubing. Install a 6” piece of JR0056TB125A tubing on the barb connector. Install the 149C in-line filter; make sure the arrow on the filter is pointing towards the pipet. Install JR0056TB125A tubing from the 149C filter to the bottom port of the pipet. The pipet return on the back panel is a ½” tube connection. A 309HW barb connector is provided to install the JR0056TB125A tubing. Install tubing from the 309HW barb connector to the top port on the pipet.

Note: It is critical to keep the tubing from the pipet to the water handler as short as possible. Any extra tubing can create a downward loop in the tube and potentially back up the water, restricting the flow.

Tubing Connections

Water connections are not required for the 6100 Calorimeter. The two external water connections are made using the ¼” Nylon tubing, P/N

HJ0025TB035, furnished with the system. For each connection, cut the end of the tube squarely with a knife or tubing cutter.

The cooling water connections at the rear of the calorimeter use compression fittings. Insert the tubing into the fitting as far as it will go and then tighten the nut ¾ of a turn from finger tight. Subsequent connections are made by threading on the nut by hand and then tightening slightly with a wrench. These compression fittings can be overtightened causing a leak in the system.

Provisions for Lifting and Carrying

Before moving the instrument, disconnect all connections from the rear of the apparatus. Lift the instrument by grabbing underneath each corner.

Operation

Using water with less than 85 ppm total hardness, fill the water tank. Take care not to fill the tank with water higher than the tube that enters through the back of the tank (approximately 4 inches from the top of the reservoir).

Check the voltage requirements of the water handler by examining the data label found on the back of the unit. Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet. Turn on the water handling system by flipping the switch to the “ON” position. Monitor the amount of water in the water tank. Add water as required to maintain the water level in the reservoir. Check for water leaks in the external lines and fix as required.

Check the voltage requirements of the calorimeter by examining the data label found on the back of the unit. Fill the tank on the back of the unit as described in the calorimeter operating manual. (It may be necessary to tip the calorimeter forward slightly to ensure no air bubbles are trapped in the line.) Plug in the power cord to a suitable electric outlet. Turn on the calorimeter by flipping the switch to the “ON” position.

Note: Do not turn on the calorimeter heater and pump until the calorimeter jacket is full otherwise damage can occur to the unit.

Preventative Maintenance

All power should be disconnected when cleaning or servicing the instrument. The following preventative maintenance for the 6510 Water Handling System is recommended:

 Monitor the amount of water in the water tank and add water as required to

maintain the water level in the reservoir.

 Clean the grill on the heat sink at the rear of the Water Handler monthly. Using

compressed air to perform this is a quick and easy way to remove the dust. Wipe exterior surfaces with lightly dampened cloth containing mild soap solution.

 Change the water in the tank monthly.  Change the in-line filter, 149C, every 3 months  Replace the 3/8” OD tubing, HX0038TB062, annually  Add an anti-microbial solution, such as VWR Clear Bath Algicide (13272-031),

per the manufacturer’s instructions.

 The pipet can be cleaned with a 1:10 dilution of Acetic Acid or straight vinegar.

The reservoir can be easily emptied by repeatedly draining the pipet until the circulating pump is sucking air. When this occurs, turn the power switch at the rear of the system to the OFF position. Do not let the pump run dry for more than a few minutes.

There are no user serviceable parts inside the product other than what is specifically called out and discussed in this manual. Advanced troubleshooting instructions beyond the scope of this manual can be obtained by calling Parr Instrument Company in order to determine which part(s) may be replaced or serviced.
