OVERVIEW

Keep coolant cleanliness trends in view

Temperature, pressure and flow show how a cooling loop is operating. The RK500-07LC adds another view: whether the cleanliness of the circulating coolant is beginning to change.

Fine particles, corrosion products and commissioning debris may circulate through CDU piping, manifolds, quick connections and cold plates. Tracking turbidity online can help teams notice a sustained change and decide when further inspection is justified.

KEY POINT

Turbidity is a coolant cleanliness trend indicator. It does not identify the contaminant, particle size or source by itself. Its value comes from establishing a clean baseline and detecting meaningful change over time.

APPLICATION

A practical monitoring approach

Establish a clean-loop baseline

Record normal turbidity after commissioning and coolant stabilization.

Monitor the trend

Look for sustained movement rather than reacting to every isolated reading.

Investigate sustained changes

Review operating conditions and check for possible particle or corrosion sources when the trend shows a sustained change.

PRODUCT FEATURES

Built for online turbidity monitoring

90° optical measurement

Uses the 90° nephelometric method to measure turbidity online, with 0-10 NTU and 0-100 NTU range options and a specified response time of 1 second.

316L and sapphire

Overall 316L stainless steel construction with a sapphire measurement window. The specified applicable media include deionized water, PG25 and EG25.

Compact integrated design

No external modules are required. Simultaneous 4-20 mA and RS485 outputs connect to compatible monitoring equipment, with a 7-30 VDC supply and power consumption below 0.2 W.

Specification V5.2.0. Choose the measurement range for the expected coolant turbidity and monitoring objective. The selected range is not a universal coolant alarm limit. Confirm coolant type, concentration and material compatibility before ordering.

INSTALLATION

Plan the installation for stable readings

Choose a stable flow location

Install on a bypass pipe for easier maintenance. Choose a location with steady flow and no obvious turbulence.

Vertical upward flow is preferred; a suitable horizontal pipe is also acceptable.

Avoid bubbles and deposits

Avoid high-point gas traps, low-point sediment zones, vertical downward flow and positions downstream of pressure-reducing sections.

Prevent bubble generation near the measurement window, as bubbles can affect readings.

Allow clearance in stainless steel pipes

Keep the probe at least 30 mm from the pipe wall to prevent backscattering distortion.

Prefer chuck installation with the measuring holes aligned parallel to the flow to minimize backscattering.

Protect the M16 cable outlet

For the M16 connector, leave at least 70 mm of outlet clearance to prevent cable damage from excessive bending.
