2 Safety instructions

• Read this document before setting up the product and keep it during the entire service life.

• The product must be suitable for the corresponding applications and environmental conditions

without any restrictions.

• Only use the product for its intended purpose (Ò Intended use).

• If the operating instructions or the technical data are not adhered to, personal injury and/or damage

to property may occur.

• The manufacturer assumes no liability or warranty for any consequences caused by tampering with

the product or incorrect use by the operator.

• Installation, set-up, operation and maintenance of the product must be carried out by qualified

personnel authorised by the machine operator.

• When using water cooling in a welding process, make sure that the coolant does not come to a

standstill to prevent it from overheating.

• The cooling must not lead to the formation of condensate on the surface of the welding adapter,

otherwise the welding process will be impeded.

3 Intended use

The cooling adapter for Aseptoflex-Vario welding adapters absorbs the heat energy during the welding

process via the flowing coolant and dissipates it, thus optimising dimensional accuracy.

4 Installation

CAUTION

During the welding operation, the welding adapter, the surrounding material and the cooling

adapter can increase in temperature to over 65°C (149°F).

wRisk of burns.

uAllow all components to cool down.

Fig.1: Cooling adapter with optional welding adapter

1: Cooling mandrel (supplied completely assembled as one unit).

2: Welding adapter (not included).

3: Counter plate designed as nut (to be used only for tank applications accessible from the inside).

Fig.2: Cooling adapter (connections, flexible hose lines not included).

1: Internal thread G⅛ for flexible hose connections

uScrew the cooling adapter into the adapter to be welded in. Use on tanks (Ò/7), Use on pipes

and inline housings (Ò/7)

uFor tank applications, fit the locknut.

uFix the adapter, ensure the supply of forming gas and attach the connections and flexible hoses to

the internal threads of the cooling adapter, activate the cooling. Cooling (Ò/7)

4.1 Cooling

The cooling must not lead to the formation of condensate on the surface of the welding adapter,

otherwise the welding process will be impeded.

uCirculation of the coolant must be ensured during welding.

uEven with internal cooling, professional welding with sufficient cooling time between the welding

steps (back-step welding) is mandatory.

uThe tightness of the flexible hose connections must be ensured so that no coolant comes into

contact with the weld seam.

uThe cooling effect must be checked by a supervising welding specialist and monitored during the

welding process.

4.2 Use on tanks

The cooling adapter and the counter plate are to be used provided the tank is accessible from

the inside after the welding process.

uScrew the cooling adapter into the adapter to be welded in until it is hand-tight.

uScrew the counter plate from the inside of the tank onto the cooling adapter. Max. tightening torque

20 Nm.

uActivate cooling.

uCarry out the welding operation Ò Installation instructions Welding adapter.

uAfter each welding, including the cooling phase, check the thread of the welding adapter for ease of

movement.

uAfter cooling, unscrew the counter plate from the cooling adapter.

uAfter cooling, remove the cooling adapter from the welding adapter and check that the thread and

sealing edge are not damaged.

4.3 Use on pipes and inline housings

Mount the cooling adapter so that it does not touch the opposite wall.

uScrew the cooling adapter hand-tight into the welding adapter.

uActivate cooling.

uCarry out the welding operation Ò Installation instructions Welding adapter.

uAfter each welding, including the cooling phase, check the thread of the welding adapter for ease of

movement.

uAfter cooling, remove the cooling adapter from the welding adapter and check that the thread and

sealing edge are not damaged.
