2.1

Scope of the manual
This manual provides information on the installation, start-up and operation of Edwards High Vacuum
Model 40/80 Temperature Control Unit (TCU 40/80).
The Quick Start Procedure on page 5 is a step by step guide for the start up and use of an installed,

working system.
Installation, starting on page 16, provides instructions and information for installing the system. The
installer must have sufficient technical understanding of electrical and mechanical systems to properly use

this information.
Operation, starting on page 20, provides more complete instructions on the preparation and use of the
system.

2.2

Description of the TCU 40/80
The TCU 40/80 is a single-channel temperature control unit engineered for temperature control of remote
heat loads.
From distances up to SO feet, the TCU 40/80 can cool the heat load generated by the process equipment.

The coolant circulates through the TCU 40/80, where it is cooled or heated as required, then is transferred
to the process equipment, and returns in a closed loop. The TCU 40/80 maintains supply coolant at a
temperature between -40 °C and +80 °C, selectable in 0.1 °C increments, with a tolerance of ±1.0 °C.

2.3

Lockout procedure
To prevent accidental or unauthorized starting of the TCU 40/80 during maintenance, disconnect the

power cord from the receptacle and install an appropriate lock-out device (Hubbell Small Plugout™ or
equivalent) on the end of the power cord.

4.2

Refrigeration
(see figure 3 above)

1.

Refrigerant gas enters the compressor at low temperature and pressure. It leaves the compressor at
high pressure and temperature.

2.

The gas passes into the condenser, where heat is removed by the external water supply, causing the
gas to condense into a liquid.

3.

The cool liquid refrigerant exits the condenser and passes through a filter dryer that removes any
residual moisture or contaminants.

4.2.1

If cooling is required:
1.

Solenoid valve SV1 opens (coil energized), allowing the refrigerant to flow into the Thermostatic
Expansion Valve (TEV). The pressure drop across the TEV causes the refrigerant to change from a
liquid to a mixture of liquid and gas.

2.

The liquid and gas mixture enters the heat exchanger where it becomes entirely a gas. The process of
expansion from a liquid to a gas reduces the temperature by absorbing energy.

3.

The refrigerant leaving the heat exchanger returns to the compressor through the subcooler and a
crankcase pressure regulator. The subcoolcr further cools the refrigerant entering the TEV.

TCU 40/80 Temperature Control Unit

4.2.2

If cooling is not required:
1.

2.

Solenoid valve SVl closes (coil de-energized).

Hot refrigerant from the compressor is passed through SV2 (coil energized) and a hot gas bypass

valve before returning to the compressor suction line. This bypassing allows the compressor to run
continuously.

3.

Cooling, required to prevent the compressor from overheating, is provided by allowing some of the

liquid from the condenser to pass through the safety cooling automatic expansion valve into the
suction line, thus maintaining the discharge gas temperature below 99 °C.

4.3

Coolant circuit
Coolant is pulled from the reservoir by the circulation pump and transferred to the heat exchanger where
it is cooled by the refrigeration system as required. It then flows to the process equipment by means of the
coolant supply hose.
The coolant returns to the TCU 40/80 reservoir by means of the coolant return hose.

The coolant system requires 8 liters of coolant for the reservoir, plus the volume of the circulation lines
and any other spaces filled with coolant that are attached to the TCU 40/80.

To increase the coolant temperature, the reservoir uses an electrical resistance heater that is controlled by
the temperature controller. The heater must be fully submerged at all times, and if the coolant in the
reservoir falls below 3.S liters, a level switch causes the status alarm signal to automatically shut down the
TCU 40/80.
A three-float level switch, a thermostat, and a flow sensor provide coolant status signals to the TCU 40/80
control system.

4.4

Temperature monitoring
A Resistance Temperature Device (RTD) monitors the temperature of the coolant leaving the TCU 40/80

and transmits this information to the temperature controller. The TCU 40/80 compares the output of the
RTD to the selected process temperature (SVl) and determines if the coolant needs to be cooled or heated.
The temperature controller then operates the main cooling solenoid valve or heater.
The coolant temperature at the supply port on the rear panel is measured by a local, internally connected
RTD. If sensing of process equipment temperature is needed, connect an RTD to J72J3 at the rear panel

(see Figure 5 on page 13). For remote connection schematic details, see Figure IS on page 56.

Potential Combustibility:

"SUVA" HP62 is notflammable at temperatures up to 80 deg C (176 deg F) and at atmospheric pressure.
Data are not available at higher temperatures and pressures. However, one of the components, HFC-143a
is flammable. Another, HFC-134a, has been shown in tests to be combustible at pressures as low as 6o
psig at ambient temperature when mixed with air at concentrations of 65 volume % air. Therefore,
"SUVA" HP82 should not be mixed with air for leak testing. In general, it should not be used or allowed
to be present with high concentrations of air above atmospheric pressures. Experimental data have also
been reported which indicate combustibility of HFC-134a in the presence of certain concgntrations of
chlorine.
Extinguishing Media

As appropriate for combustible in area.
Fire Fighting Instructions

f

Cool cylinder with water spray or fog. Self-contained breath ng apparatus (SCBA) is required if cylinders

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Animal Data

The blend is untested.
HFC-125

Inhalation 4-hour ALC: >709,000 ppm in rats

Single high inhalation exposures caused decreased activity, labored breathing and weight loss. Cardiac
scnsitization occurred in dogs exposed to concentrations of 10-30% in air and given an intravenous
epinephrine challenge; no cardiac sensitization occurred at a concentration of 7.5%.
No animal data are available to define carcinogenic hazards. HFC-125 did not cause cmbryotoxicity or
developmental toxicity in rats or rabbits at inhalation concentrations up

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION (Continued)
to 50,000 ppm. HFC-126 does not produce genetic damage in bacterial or mammalian call cultures or
when tested in animals.
HFC-134a

Inhalation 4-hour LC50: 567,000 ppm in rats

A 5 or 10 second spray of vapor produced very slight eye irritation and a 24-hour occlusive application
produced slight skin irritation in rabbits. The compound is not a skin sensitizer in animals. No toxic effects
were seen in animals from exposures by inhalation to concentrations up

to 81,000 ppm. Lethargy and rapid respiration were observed at a vapor concentration of 305,000 ppm and
pulmonary congestion, edema, and central nervous system effects occurred at a vapor concentration of
750,000 ppm. Cardiac sensitization occurred in dogs at 75,000 ppm following an epinephrine challenge.
No effects in animals occurred from repeated inhalation-exposures to 99,000 ppm for two weeks or higher
concentrations to 50,000 ppm for three months. Repeated exposures to higher concentrations caused
transient tremors, incoondination and some organ weight changes. Long-term exposures produced increased
testes weights and increased urinary fluoride levels. No adverse effects were observed in male and female
rats fed diets containing 300 mg/kg/day of HFC-134a for 52 weeks. Animal testing indicates that this
compound does not have carcinogenic or mutagenic effects. Inhalation of 50 000 ppm for two years caused
an increase in benign testicular tumors in male rats. No effects were observed at lower concentrations. The
tumors were late-occurring and were judged not to be life-threatening. Embryotoxic activity has been
observed in some animal tests but only at high concentrations that were also maternally toxic.

HFC-143a
Inhalation 4-hour LC50: >540,000 ppm in rats

Single exposures by inhalation to 500,000 ppm caused anesthesia but no mortality at 540,000 ppm. Cardiac
sensitization occurred in dogs at 600,000 ppm following an intravenous challenge with epinephrine. Two, 4-week
inhalation have been conducted. In the first study, pathological changes in the testes were observed at all exposure
concentrations; no effects were observed in females. The testicular effect was considered related to the method
used to expose the rats to HFC-143a. In the second study using the same exposure concentrations, no effects were
noted in males at any concentration. Data from a 90-day study revealed no effects in male or female rats at
exposures up to 40,000 ppm. Long-term exposure caused significantly decreased body weights in male rats fed 300

mg/kg for 52 weeks, but there was no effect on mortality. Tests in rats demonstrated no carcinogenic
activity when administered orally 300 mg/kg/day for 52 weeks and observed for an additional 73 weeks.

Tests in bacterial cell cultures demonstrated mutagenic activity, but the compound did not induce
transformation of mammalian cells in culture or in the whole animal. Tests in animals demonstrate no
developmental toxicity.
