Jinan Bodor CNC Co., Ltd
Cooling water drainage specifications for fiber laser cutting machine
I.Purpose
To avoid unnecessary losses caused by not complete water drainage.
II.Range of application
Drainage for S&A water chiller and Tongfei water chiller, laser source and
laser head.
III.Operation specification
1、Laser source drainage
1）disconnect all the pipes connected to laser source;
2）connect a diversion pipe to the outlet, and put the end of diversion pipe
into a container;
3）blow from the water inlet until it is dry(blow for about 45s);
4）note that there will be water splashes when blow water, please keep the
workshop clean.
2、Laser head and lathe bed pipe drainage
1）put the end of outlet pipe into a container;
2）blow for about 200s;
3）note that there will be water splashes when blow water, please keep the
workshop clean;
4）need to disconnect all the pipes
3、Water chiller drainage
Main drainage parts:water tank,pipes,pump head,filter,deionization tank.
Main drainage steps:
1）Open the drain valve(or drain plug) at the bottom of water tank to drain,
if necessary, the water chiller can be tilted at a certain angle to make the
drainage cleaner;
2）Remove the filter cartridge and deionization cartridge, lash the water
out(especially the deionization cartridge, lash until no water dripping),
to avoid splashing, the amplitude is not recommended too much(Pic1);
3）Pipeline drainage: blow from inlet and outlet with compressed air for 1-2
minutes, force the water in pipeline back to the water tank, then drain from
water tank;
4）Open the water tank lid to observe whether there is residual water
inside(for those lid cannot open need to blow from water inlet with compressed
air to force the water in pipe and pump back to water tank, then drain from
water tank), if yes, tilt the water chiller to drain(Pic2);
5）Pump head drainage(for Tongfei water chiller only):there is a drain bolt
under pump head. Need to open the drain bolt to drain when the water chiller
need to shut down for a long time or transport, it is better to use compressed
air to blow the remaining water in pump head, then tighten the drain
bolt(Pic3);
6）note that there will be water splashes when blow water, please keep the
workshop clean;
7）Open the filter and deionization tank, pour out the residual water, install
the filter cartridge firmly, then install the metal plate in place.

4、Use antifreeze in winter
Antifreeze is needed in winter. The using time of antifreeze is from
th st
15 Nov to 1 Mar of the following year. But if the temperature drops to
th st
5° before 15 Nov or still below 5° after 1 Mar, antifreeze may be used
in advance or postponed. The base fluid of antifreeze generally consists
of alcohols and water, requires high boiling point and flash point, specific
heat and conduction capacity, low temperature viscosity, not easy to foam,
non-corrosive to metal parts and rubber hose. When select or deploy
antifreeze, the freezing point should be 5° lower than the lowest
environment temperature. At present the water inside S&A water chiller
cannot be discharged completely, so antifreeze should be used when
working(the ratio to water is 3:7).The professional antifreeze we choose:
CLARIANT brand(model:Antifrogen N). Antifreeze can be recycled, keep no
other debris mixed.
Note: Antifreeze cannot completely replace deionized water, thus cannot
use for a long time throughout the year, and sifferent brands of antifreeze
cannot be mixed. The pipeline must be cleaned with deionized water or pure
water after winter, and restore the use of deionized water or purified water
as coolant.
