WARNING:

You can connect a chiller to the tank’s optional heat exchang-
er to remove heat from the extrudate more efficiently.
Typically, the tank comes with the 3/4 inch lines of the stan-
dard tube and shell heater plumbed to the tank’s water mani-
fold. The 1
1
/
2
inch inlet and outlet of the heat exchanger can
be used for the chiller.
For maximum water flow:
Connect the chiller “To Process” and “From Process” lines to
the largest NPT fittings in the shell of the heat exchanger.
For maximum cooling efficiency:
Connect the chiller “To Process” and “From Process” lines to
the smallest NPT tube ends of the heat exchanger.
TIP: If you have a water
supply with high mineral
content, connect the chiller
to the tube ends of the
heat exchanger.
