Description
Function
The cooling aggregate is designed for 
cooling of water and other liquids like 
water. The air-cooled aggregate is suitable 
for tropical climate and can be operated 
at up to an ambient temperature of 40° C. 
A circulation pump for the cooling water, 
a water reservoir and safety devices for 
maximum temperature and minimum 
circulation flow rate are completely wired, 
installed in the aggregate and connected. 
The aggregate is mounted in a square 
tube frame and is mobile on 4 castors.
The hot cooling water returns into the 
storage tank via the water flow switch. 
The reservoir is vented to atmospheric 
pressure. The circulation pump drains 
the water from the container and feeds 
the same to the forward line connector, at 
first through the heat exchanger and after 
cooling down via the thermometer probe.
Cooling circuit
The cooling circuit consists of:
•   Full-hermetic compressor
•   Air cooled condenser
•   Cooling agent dryer
•   Cooling agent viewing glass with 
hygroscope
•   Expansion valve
•   Evaporator/heat exchanger
•   High and low pressure regulator
•   Corresponding connectors
The surface of the air-cooled condenser 
has generous dimensions to ensure reli-
able operation even at high evaporation 
and ambient temperatures. The ambient 
air is taken in through the condenser by 
means of the ventilator and is expelled 
via the compressor through the protec-
tive grill. Inverse rotation of the ventilator 
would reduce the air flow rate drastically, 
thus reducing the cooling capacity of the 
aggregate.
The cooling agent liquefied in the con-
denser gets to the expansion valve after 
passing through the water reservoir, the 
dryer and the viewing glass. Here the 
pressure is released from the condenser 
to the evaporator pressure. In the heat 
exchanger the heat required for this 
expansion is taken from the hot cooling 
water. The expansion valve controls the 
flow of cooling agent required to cool to 
a certain temperature sensed at the heat 
exchanger’s output side.
Electrical control
The standard version of the cooling ag-
gregate is sized for connection to a  
230 V, 50/60 Hz power supply and is con-
nected to the power via a 3-wire power 
cable. The brown lead is to be connected 
to the phase (R) , the blue conductor to 
the neutral (Mp) and the green/yellow to 
ground. 
Air supply
The heat absorbed by the heat exchanger 
and also the dissipation heat from the 
drive of the compressor has to be dis-
charged by the air cooled condenser. If 
the unit is operated in a small, self-con-
tained room the room temperature will 
built up rapidly. As shown in the overleaf 
diagram the cooling capacity decreases 
with increasing ambient temperature. It 
is therefore important that sufficient air 
circulation is provided for the WLK 31.
Maintenance
All components of the cooling aggregate 
are selected to be maintenance-free. 
However, it is crucial that the condenser 
be kept clean. Also, the cooling water 
level in the water reservoir should be 
observed and topped up if required.
The design allows the cooling aggregate to 
transfer the heat from the X-ray tubes to 
the ambient air. Therefore, sufficient fresh 
air supply must be guaranteed.
All mobile components of the compressor, 
including the drive motor, are hermetically 
sealed in a housing.
