3. PRE-OPERATION PROCEDURES
Installation Precautions
Supply of water/oil
Maximum fluid level should be 2 cm from the edge of the reservoir with a flask or other
container is placed in the bath. Use caution not to overflow the bath when supplying fluid.
Pour at least 2 L of fluid in the reservoir.
【BO312-G】
Silicon oil has a broad thermal expansion capacity and may overflow from bath when
heated.
Expansion should be subtracted prior to supply silicone oil to the reservoir.
(Example) Supply amount of KF-96-50cs to the reservoir can be calculated based on the
following formula.
Oil increment = (set temperature - temperature reading) × amount of silicone oil x 0.00096
With set temperature 180 °C, current temperature reading 23 °C, and required amount of
silicone oil 4.5 L, increase amount of the oil will be: (180 °C-23 °C) ×4.5 L × 0.00096 =
0.68 L.
Thus, 3.8 L of silicone oil needs to be prepared in the case of example above.
