    The most practical location for the valve is usually near or at the cooling unit. Bleeding and draining valves are not included in the standard delivery of the ABB converter. The bleeding valve is option +G422.
  • Page 124: Draining The Internal Cooling Circuit

    124 Cooling and heating Draining the internal cooling circuit You can drain the internal cooling circuit through the cooling unit as follows: Note: Draining coolant into the sewer system is not allowed. WARNING! High-pressure hot coolant may be present in the internal cooling circuit. No work on the cooling circuit is allowed until the pressure is lowered down by stopping the pumps and draining coolant.

    (RH) and the ambient temperature To avoid all kind of condensation inside the converter: ABB highly recommends to maintain / heat up the cooling liquid +10 °C (+50 °F) above the ambient temperature (ie, air temperature outside the converter), within the limits that the cooling liquid minimum temperature is +5 °C (41 °F) and maximum temperature is +60 °C (140 °F).
  • Page 126: Pressure Limits

    Maximum design pressure: 500 kPa Recommended design maximum pressure: 380 kPa. Note: Contact ABB if you need to rise the pressure over this limit. The pressure difference must be within given limits to avoid malfunction due to excessive coolant flow.
  • Page 127: Coolant Mixture Quality

    This may build up sediment in the liquid. Approved coolants • BASF Glysantin® G30® or Valvoline Zerex G30®. For other coolants, contact your local ABB representative. WARNING! Do not mix different approved coolants in any conditions! Replace the cooling liquid always with same cooling liquid! Mixing different coolant types is a risk for cooling system corrosion.
