Coolant leaks, a tip and a question
Hi;
A quick tip: When refilling the coolant chanber, right when it's almost full, stop and push the bellows. Do not let the weight of the coolant fill the bellows, instead, make sure the bellows is deflated when you seal the chamber. On newer NAPs (i.e.), you need something to poke through the air bleed, but it MUST not be sharp. Others you can push in with your finger. Realize why the bellows is there and don't defeat it's purpose by inflating it with the weight of the coolant. Now the question: Coolant leaks seem to be more common these days. What methods do "y'all" use to clean the PCBs ? I've used acetone with a stiff paintbrush, alcohol, water and then heat. This seems to be the best method I've tried lately. On stubborn cases sometime I have to repeat, and sometime remove non-SMD ICs. I have been known to flush it with water. Thanks for reading and any input is appreciated. JURB |
