Coolant Requirements for One Frame 2, 3A or 3B Drive
* Inhibited ethylene glycol or propylene glycol must contain a corrosion inhibitor. See Corrosion Inhibitor on page 45 for an approved source.
Cooling Loop Application Guidelines
Do not use ferrous and plated-ferrous materials for pipe-treated water to the power modules and drive. Use of ferrous
materials will degrade the performance of the power module chillplate.
Use the following guidelines for applying cooling loops other than those recommended.
• The allowable drive coolant temperature range is:
- Frame 2 Drive: 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F)
- Frame 3A/3B Drive: 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 105°F)
When using coolant at a temperature below the dew point of the surrounding air, condensation could accumulate on the
drive heatsink and/or circuit boards and damage the drive. In this situation, install a coolant flow regulating device and
tube/hose insulation. A flow regulating device modulates the coolant flow rate to a level that permits the drive heatsink
temperature to rise above the dew point. Insulation for customer side tube or hose may be closed-cell foam insulation
with minimum 12.7 mm (0.50 in.) wall thickness.
• The cooling loop should include a flow switch on the connection to the drive inlet to turn off the drive if coolant flow
drops below the minimum flow required by the drive (see table above).
• Circulate coolant through the drive only when the drive is also powered. Failure to do this may result in condensation
accumulating on the drive heatsink and/or circuit boards, which could damage the drive.
• An interlock from the cooling loop should be used to stop the drive when the cooling loop is faulted.
• For applications requiring a closed loop coolant system, ensure the system is vented to remove air that would otherwise
degrade the performance of the drive heatsink.
• Install a flow measuring device at the inlet of each Converter and each Inverter Power Module. Note that flow measuring
devices are included in the PF700L Frame 3A/3B Complete Drive cabinets (13th position in catalog number = A). The
coolant flow rate (GPM) must meet the requirements in the table above.
• The following types of pipe are recommended for cooling loop connections:
- Copper tubing, type L
- Brass pipe
- Stainless steel, 300 series
Important: Do not use galvanized pipe.
• The cooling loop should have a method for draining and replacing the coolant.
