[3dem] Cooling water supply for microscopes

[Cindi Schwartz]

Liz,

Our FEI water chillers are hooked up to the house chilled water. We  
have a set of valves that allows us to move to water that pours down  
the drain, so to speak, if the house chilled water goes out or is  
scheduled to be down for some reason. It allows us to "open the loop"  
so we can keep going. I've only had to move over to the water wasteful  
way 2-3 times in 8 years and those were scheduled. It's a good back-up  
to work into yours system so your scopes don't have to be down if  
house water goes down.

Good luck!
Cindi
