Hi Andreas -
My 007HF is cooled by a Haskris R050 chiller which I got from Rigaku.
This has a refrigeration loop inside it to extract heat from the closed
water loop that goes to the generator; the extracted heat can then go to
building chilled water, or even an open loop (city cold water, then down
the drain) if your building codes allow it.
The advantage of this system is that it can handle unreliable chilled
water temperature and flow, with allowable source water temperatures as
high as 85 F. If your building water is really unreliable, you can even
get an air-cooled Haskris - although your room A/C has to be able to
handle the heat load in that case.
Contact me off-list if you want more information. The system has been
really reliable for me.

Dear all,
I have a Rigaku MicroMax 007 HF X-ray generator that is cooled by
chilled water supplied rather unreliably through the building
infrastructure. I was wondering what alternatives exist.
Could other MicroMax 007 users share their experiences with
alternative cooling solutions with me?
Thank you.
Andreas
