What it is

The ThermoFisher ThermoFlex15000/20000 is a recirculating chiller. It is designed to provide a continuous supply of fluid at a constant temperature and volume.^[1]

Why won't it start?

Documented failure modes, common issues, and field considerations.

Reservoir overfill above MAX LEVEL causes an overflow error (O FLO) and shutdown.
Use of fluids not listed in Table 1 voids the manufacturer warranty.
For units with a positive displacement pump, application plumbing lines and fittings must be rated to withstand a minimum of 185 psi.

What do the numbers mean?
