Outsourcing your cooling loop to a company that builds thousands of cooling systems a year guarantees a quality product and enables you to focus your engineering efforts on your own area of expertise. Turnkey systems also accelerate the design process, reduce inventory levels, and simplify production. End users prefer integrated systems because they are easy to install and simple to operate. Our three types of cooling systems can be tailored to your precise requirements with a range of standard options, or completely custom designed. Lytrons cooling systems are used in a variety of applications including medical and industrial lasers, analytical instruments, oncology machines, data centers, electron microscopes, printing equipment, plasma etch systems, and solder reflow ovens.

Cooling Systems Technology Overview

Lytron offers three types of cooling systems compressor-based chillers, liquid-to-liquid cooling systems, and ambient cooling systems. Each unit can be modified with a wide range of standard options, and for OEM volumes, we will design and manufacture total custom systems. Our cooling system technologies include:

Recirculating Chillers (Kodiak)

Cooling capacities up to 6 kW Kodiak compressor-based recirculating chillers are an ideal solution when you need precise temperature control (0.1C) or cooling below ambient temperature. Applications include medical equipment, medical and industrial lasers, electron microscopes, analytical instrumentation, semiconductor processing, and printing equipment.

Liquid-to-Liquid Cooling Systems (LCS)

Standard Cooling Systems

Cooling capacities up to 150 kW Liquid-to-Liquid cooling systems offer precise temperature control of process water and transfer the waste heat to facility water. They are ideal for high heat load applications where precise temperature control (0.5C) is needed and chilled facility water is available. Applications include medical equipment, datacom equipment centers, industrial machine tools, printing equipment, and cabinet cooling.

Ambient Cooling Systems (Modular Cooling System MCS)

Cooling capacities up to 3.5 kW Modular Cooling Systems are non-refrigerated cooling systems. They are a cost-effective alternative to recirculating chillers for applications where precise temperature control and cooling below ambient temperature are not required. Applications include analytical equipment, cabinet cooling, medical equipment, and laser systems.

Kodiak Options and Accessories

Kodiak Options1
Option Protection Options External flow valve: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. A manually adjustable globe valve installed on the back of the chiller in parallel with the chiller coolant supply/return. External pressure relief valve: A manually adjustable pressure relief valve (50 to 100 psig) installed on the back of the chiller in parallel with the chiller coolant supply/return. Anti-siphon system: Check and solenoid valves installed internal to the chiller on the supply and return lines, respectively. Air filter: Internally mounted on the air inlet to the condenser coil. Allows the operator to control the flow rate to the application. As the external flow valve is opened, more of the flow bypasses the application. Benefit

Allows the chiller to continue to run and maintain temperature if the flow to the application is interrupted. When flow to the application is stopped, the pressure relief valve opens and bypasses flow to the chillers return. It can also be used to prevent the chiller supply from exceeding a predetermined pressure setting. Allows the chiller to be installed at an elevation below the application. Prevents backflow and subsequent overflowing of the chillers vented tank (if not installed, fitting leaks in the application can allow air to displace the coolant, resulting in backflow to the tank). Filters incoming air to the chillers condensing coil, preventing dust build up which can lead to decreased performance. The easy-access filter is simple to replace, reducing the need to clean the condensing coil and refrigeration components. Filters process coolant being supplied to the application, protecting equipment from blockage or damage due to particulate buildup and extending pump life.

5 micron coolant filter: Externally mounted on the supply from the chiller. Special Applications Options Heater: Submerged 2,000 Watt electric resistance heater with built-in over temperature shut-off (non-adjustable).

Allows chiller to reach elevated set points faster (useful for applications in cold start-up situations or where the coolant set point is frequently cycled). This feature does not extend the coolant temperature range of the chiller. Eliminates condensation forming on the components in contact with the fluid when operating chiller at set points below the ambient dew point. Optimizes performance for low temperature operation and provides additional low temperature cooling capacity compared to standard chillers. Contact Lytrons applications engineering department for performance graphs. Heat that would normally be rejected to the ambient environment is transferred to an external liquid coolant source, avoiding room warming and possible air conditioning overload. Also, water-cooled chillers are quieter because there is no condenser fan. Contact Lytron for required facility liquid coolant flow rate and temperature requirements. Allows more precise control of the coolant delivery temperature. Available in C only.

Standard Cooling Systems

Internal insulation package: Insulated tank, pump head, and coolant lines. Low temperature operation: Chiller coolant temperature range is 5C to +25C. (Note: internal insulation package must also be selected.) Water-cooled condenser: Refrigerant is condensed using water (rather than ambient air) via a liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger.

0.1C set point: Allows 0.1C increments of the set point and display temperatures. Fluid Compatibility Options Deionization (DI) water cartridge: Externally mounted DI cartridge (no indicator light) on the return to the chiller.

Filters ions from coolant to maintain a fluid resistivity level between 1 and 3 megohm/cm by partial flow through the resin bed. This feature does not include a resistivity indicator light. High purity plumbing is recommended with the DI water cartridge. All wetted materials are fully compatible with DI water to prevent component corrosion.

GRAPHS

36

High purity plumbing: Includes nickel-brazed evaporator and nickel-plated or nylon fittings compatible with DI water. Not compatible with brass pumps. PAO compatibility: Includes pump, fittings, hose, and oil filter compatible with polyalphaolefin (PAO). Anti-siphon system and internal insulation packages are included in this option. Convenience Options Remote start: Chiller power can be cycled through a computer or relay.

Kodiak Controllers1
Controller Option Functionality Controller Package 1 Digital temperature display Calibration offset Easy-to-read display in either C or F. Allows temperature display to be offset to represent the temperature at a different point within the cooling circuit. Alerts user to a lack of coolant flow and shuts down the chiller to prevent the refrigeration system from freezing. Automatically returns chiller to its operating status prior to interruption of power, e.g., if the chiller was on, it will turn back on when power is restored. Enables temperature display to be viewed in C or F. Audible warning of all fault conditions. Silences audible alarm until the alarm is cleared or the chiller turned off. Displays pump output pressure (psig or bar) and allows it to be transmitted through RS232. Alerts user that the coolant level in the reservoir is at a critically low level (approaching the level of the pumps suction line). Switches chiller off if fault shut-off is on. Alerts user that the coolant temperature is outside of the users defined set-point limits. Switches chiller off if fault shut-off is on. Allows chiller to be programmed to shut down on fault (on) or continue to run during fault conditions (off). The chiller will always shut down on the low flow shut-off alarm. Fault conditions of the chiller can be monitored by applying a low voltage power signal across dry contacts at the rear of the chiller. (Power loss to the chiller is not a fault condition.)2 Mating connector AMP part number 350715-1 and 350547-1 Allows complete control of all the chillers controller features (changing/monitoring coolant set point, monitoring pressure, and fault alarms, etc.) from a remote computer for monitoring, control, and data logging. 2 3

Kodiak Selecting a Recirculating Chiller

Selecting the proper recirculating chiller is a function of four factors: 1. 2. 3. 4. The heat load generated by the device being cooled (Q) The maximum acceptable temperature of the fluid exiting the heat source (TOUT) Available fluid flow rate (v ) Ambient operating conditions

Often, an equipment manufacturer will specify the set point temperature and flow rate of the required chiller. In this case, selecting a chiller is simple. Simply mark the intersection of the desired cooling capacity and the set point temperature on the chiller graph. Any chiller with a performance curve above or equal to this point will provide enough capacity. Next, use the pump graph to select a pump that meets the desired flow rate. Example 1: A chiller needs to supply 2 gpm at 20C to an x-ray tube that generates 2,000 W of heat. The power supply is 60 Hz. Marking this point on the chiller graph we can see that an RC022 would be an appropriate choice. From looking at the pump curves we see that a BE pump would provide the necessary flow rate. If the Heat Load (Q) is known, but the Flow Rate is unknown, the following equation can be used to determine the required flow rate. = Q/( C (T v p OUT - TIN)) where: v = fluid flow rate v = fluid density Q = heat load Cp = fluid specific heat TOUT = max. fluid temp. exiting the heat source TIN = fluid temp. exiting the chiller

Standard Cooling Systems

Example 2: A laser head generates 2,000 Watts (6,824 BTU/Hr) of heat. The fluid temperature must not exceed 20C (68F). With a cooling fluid of water, 60 Hz power, at 20C ambient, what is the appropriate Lytron recirculating chiller? Using the thermal performance graphs (fig 1), draw a horizontal line at the required heat load (2000 W). As shown, the RC022 would match this requirement at 13C (55F). This is TIN (the temperature exiting the recirculating chiller). Therefore, the calculation then becomes: = 2000 W /(990 kg/m3 4180 J/kgC (20C 13C) v = 6.9 x 10-5m3/s or 1.1 gpm v 3 water = 990 kg/m , Cp = 4180 J/kgC Next, determine if the recirculating chiller can meet the required flow rate. As shown on the system pump graph (fig 2), the 1.3 gpm positive displacement pump (standard on the RC022) would more than satisfy the flow requirement.

Lytrons Liquid-to-Liquid Cooling System (LCS20) offers precise temperature control of process water and transfers the waste heat to your facility water via a liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger. It is an excellent solution for high heat-load or high ambient temperature applications where chilled facility water is available. Large cooling capacity in a compact package: An LCS is a great solution for high heat loads where space is at a premium. With 20 kW of cooling, our LCS20 provides over three times the capacity of a comparably-sized recirculating chiller. Tight temperature control: We maintain the fluid temperature to within 0.5C, despite fluctuations in the facility water temperature and flow rate. Our PID controller varies the facility water flow rate through the heat exchanger based on the process water temperature to achieve this stability. Contamination-free: The process cooling loop of the LCS is isolated from the facility water. This separation protects your equipment, keeping it free from facility water contaminants. It also eliminates the risk of condensation near your equipment if the facility water is below the dew point. Reliable, quiet, and energy efficient: The LCS system contains very few moving parts this makes it inherently reliable and quiet. The only components requiring power are the pump, motor, and controller, so it is also extremely energy efficient. ETL tested to UL 61010A-1, CE certified, and WEEE compliant

The increasing heat load densities in datacom equipment centers require ever more sophisticated approaches to cooling, including liquid cooling. Designed for data center cooling, the LCS50 is a 150kW liquid-to-liquid cooling system that supplies precise temperature-controlled coolant to your liquid cooled racks and transfers the waste heat to facility water. High reliability The LCS50 is designed to be extremely reliable. Redundant pumps ensure the system always provides coolant to your racks. The controller tracks the actual operation hours for each pump and the backup pump is tested periodically to guarantee its operation if needed. The controller warns you of any system problems via various alarms and offers lockout protection and communication packages for remote monitoring. Protection and isolation of datacom equipment: According to ASHRAE, the benefits of an LCS for liquid cooling include preventing condensation by delivering coolant to the rack, equipment, or electronics above the dew point, isolating the electronics from the harsher facility water, and minimizing the coolant volume near the technology so that a coolant leak would be less catastrophic.1 Easy to install: The unit is equipped with casters for easy mobility and leveling feet that disengage the casters. The inlets and outlets of the facility (primary) and process (secondary) coolant loops can be configured for a raised floor or overhead plumbing. The flow rate is adjustable using an internal manually adjustable flow control valve. Energy efficient: Liquid cooling the electronics cabinet is significantly more energy efficient than air cooling.

LCS20 Options
Option Protection Options External flow valve: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. A manually adjustable globe valve installed on the back of the LCS in parallel with the LCS coolant supply/return. External pressure relief valve: A manually adjustable pressure relief valve (50 to 100 psig) installed on the back of the LCS in parallel with the LCS coolant supply/return. 5 micron coolant filter: Externally mounted on the supply from the LCS. Special Applications Options Heater: Submerged 2,000 Watt electric resistance heater with built-in over temperature shut-off (non-adjustable). Allows LCS to reach elevated set points faster (useful for applications in cold start-up situations or where the coolant set point is frequently cycled). This feature does not extend the coolant temperature range of the LCS. Eliminates condensation forming on the components in contact with the fluid when operating LCS at set points below the ambient dew-point. Allows the operator to control the flow rate to the application. As the external flow valve is opened, more of the flow bypasses the application. Benefit

Allows the LCS to continue to run and maintain temperature if the flow to the application is interrupted. When flow to the application is stopped, the pressure relief valve opens and bypasses flow to the LCSs return. It can also be used to prevent the LCS supply from exceeding a predetermined pressure setting. Filters process coolant being supplied to the application, protecting equipment from blockage or damage due to particulate buildup and extending pump life.

Internal insulation package: Insulated tank, pump head, and coolant lines. Fluid Compatibility Options Deionization (DI) water cartridge: LCSs come with an externally mounted DI cartridge (no indicator light) on the return to the LCS. High purity plumbing: Includes nickel-brazed heat exchanger and nickel-plated or nylon fittings compatible with DI water. Not compatible with brass pumps.

Filters ions from coolant to maintain a fluid resistivity level between 1 and 3 megohm/cm by partial flow through the resin bed. This feature does not include a resistivity indicator light. High purity plumbing is recommended with the DI water cartridge. All wetted materials are fully compatible with DI water to prevent component corrosion.

Selecting a Liquid-to-Liquid Cooling System LCS

In most LCS sizing applications, we know the temperature of the facility water (TF), the desired process set point temperature (Tp), the flow rate through the process (vp) and the heat load of the process, Q. To determine the required capacity, Q/ITD, we first need to calculate the change in temperature, T, through the process. We can do this either by solving the heat capacity equation:

vF ,TF LCS vp ,Tp Heat Source, Q

Facility Side Tp + T Process Side

Q = m Cp T
or by using the heat capacity graphs on pages 96 and 97. Next, we calculate Q/ITD to find the required cooling capacity. Q is the process heat load. ITD, the initial temperature difference, is the difference in temperature between the warm return water, (Tp+ T) and the cold facility water (TF). So,

Q m Cp T = ITD Tp + T - TF
Finally, refer to the LCS performance graph to determine the facility process flow rate required to achieve the calculated Q/ITD. Example: A solder reflow oven requires a process set point of 20C. The heat load is 10 kW and the process water flow rate is 5 gpm. The facility water is at 10C. Using the heat capacity graphs, we find that the T through the process is approximately 7.6C for the condition 10 kW at 5 gpm. We can now solve for Q/ITD as follows:

Standard Cooling Systems

Q 10 kW = ITD 20C + 7.6C - 10C Q kW = 0.57 ITD C

Referencing the LCS performance graph, we can see that a facility flow rate above 2 gpm will meet the required performance. Thermal Performance Graph Water Temperature Change Chart

MCS Selecting a Modular Cooling System

MCS performance is shown as Q/ITD versus flow rate. Q is the heat load, and ITD is the initial temperature difference, or the difference between the MCS liquid inlet temperature and the ambient air temperature. To select the correct MCS system, you first need to determine Q/ITD. Then, using the MCS performance graph, draw a horizontal line at the calculated Q/ITD value. Finally, check that the pump will provide sufficient flow rate. Example: A laser produces 700 W of waste heat. The water temperature exiting the laser should be less than 35C. Ambient room temperature is 20C. The laser equipment requires a flow rate of at least 1 gpm. Which MCS system should be selected? First, determine Q/ITD

Q/ITD = 700 W/(35C-20C) = 46.7 W/C

Using the thermal performance graph, you can see that at flow rates above 0.5 gpm, the MCS20 will provide adequate performance. The standard BB pump offers a flow rate of 1.3 gpm so it will work well. If you are considering an alternative pump, use the pump flow rate calculation on page 53 to verify that with the given pressure drop, flow rate will be sufficient.

Selecting a Pump for All Cooling Systems

The standard pump on all Lytron cooling systems is a positive displacement pump. Centrifugal and turbine pumps are also offered to precisely match your application needs.

Positive Displacement Pumps (PD pumps)

Positive Displacement pumps provide a constant flow rate regardless of pressure drop across the system. This makes them ideal if you have a high system pressure drop, require a constant flow rate regardless of changes in your systems pressure drop, or are likely to use the cooling system with a variety of test set-ups. Lytrons PD pumps are fitted with a pre-set 90 psi1 pressure relief valve to ensure safety cut-out in the event of blockages in the system. It is recommended that PD pumps are replaced approximately every 7,000 hours of operation to ensure reliable performance.

Centrifugal and Turbine Pumps

The output of a centrifugal or turbine pump varies considerably with pressure drop across the system. If the pressure drop across the system changes, the flow rate from the cooling system will also change. A centrifugal pump is suitable for small pressure drops; a turbine pump operates at higher pressure drops. If you are considering using a centrifugal or turbine pump you should verify that the flow rate is sufficient with your systems pressure drop. It is recommended that centrifugal and turbine pumps are replaced approximately every 28,000 hours of operation to ensure reliable performance.

Standard Cooling Systems

Calculating Flow Rate

To calculate the flow rate for a centrifugal or turbine pump, you need to know the pressure drop in your system. You then can use the appropriate pump graph to estimate flow rate. Example: You need a 60 Hz RC011 chiller with a flow rate of 1.5 gpm and you want to know if a centrifugal pump (the DA pump) will have sufficient flow rate. The pressure drop from the laser in your system is 30 psi at 2 gpm. Mark the graph at the intersection of these points. Draw a straight line from the origin to this point, and where it intersects the pump curve is your likely flow rate. Note that this is an approximation as flow rate is not strictly linear. In this case, the likely flow rate with a DA centrifugal pump would be 1.9 gpm. This is higher than the 1.5 gpm required, so this pump would be a good choice. If a higher flow rate was required, a PD pump or the EB turbine pump could be considered.

Customer Case Study: Meeting the challenge of a tight space requirement

A customer approached Lytron needing a custom cooling system with similar capacity to an RC022. The challenge: It needed to be approximately half the usual size to fit within their existing design. Lytrons engineers set to work, specially selecting compact components to fit the envelope and customizing the layout. Since it was to be integrated into a larger piece of equipment, a frameless design was chosen. RS232 control was incorporated so that it could be monitored and controlled through the customers system. Manufacturability and serviceability were considered throughout the design process. Lytron engineers worked closely with the customers engineering team . The result: A prototype which matched all the size and performance specifications.
