Section 1 - Introduction The Model C100 cooling system is designed to provide water-cooling for small Research Inc. aluminum-reflector heaters. The photograph to the left shows the C100 providing cooling for a Model 5305 heater. (Note: Heater and lamp are sold separately.) The unit includes a self-contained pump, coil, blower unit, and 6 gallon (23 liter) reservoir.
Section 2 - Installation and Operation: Safety The maximum water/glycol temperature is 140ºF (60ºC). Precaution should be taken to ensure this temperature is not exceeded. Refer to the installation section for proper sizing instructions. WARNING! Hazardous voltages are present within the heating/cooling/control system. Setting the set point potentiometer or control signal to minimum does NOT eliminate these hazardous voltages.

3. Remove filler cap and fill reservoir with mixture of 4 gallons distilled water and 1 gallon propylene glycol (RV type, pink color) solution. Do not use anti-freeze with stop leak additive, which will clog the filter screen and damage the pump. Replace the filler plug.
