Why do they have to be so odd ball.. Seriously...., Everything apparently voids the warranty, they even have a little sign inside cabinet that says if instruction manual is removed warranty void lol. Everything is so tight errr...

sounds like u have had a problem or two with this machine., lol.,what happened

[BKS60]

Agreed their a lot of fun .........not!

We got one with a programing problem with the freq for the condensor fans. Everytime the site has a power glitch the drive has to be manualy reset. Tried calling the drive manufacturer and was told it had custom programing by Kraus. Called
kraus and left a message and got a return call the next afternoon by a guy from
India who was in Germany and about to call it a day! Still unresolved.

Never worked on them but they look like a big hunk of garbage. My condolences, Chris.

what do these chillers offer over the guys here in the states?

The three I've worked on have all been used for one brand of MRI at stationary units. I tend to believe they are tied in with some type on contract agreement but that is only a guess. It seems most of the magnets are cooled by non US manufacturer based equipment. We service around 16 other sites that have a different brand magnets and all the chillers are non US made.

All 6 or 8 of the ones I have worked on are all for a specific brand of MRI and are also used to cool the magnets.

I will give you one guess as to the hospital...

OK I fail.

Don't know anything about the 189 area. Way to far north for me.

But would you know a few folks like Ken, Gary or Ed?

This chiller is used on a hx for a Siemens cold head compressor and the gradient hx also.

I normally see G.E. with Air-Sys chillers but i have seen all kinds including Imaging equipment using chiller plant water as a primary in some and only as a back up on others.

[southparks]

Agreed, they do suck!!!!!

[shackleford]

Wait until you have to change the center compressor on it.....without shutting down the entire machine.

I'm looking for an IOM for KKT Kraus model# KLC126T. Everything I'm finding is in German and / or useless dimensional diagrams. Anyone know a rep or have any info?

Would appreciate any help I can get!!
