Replacing thermal fuse in a fog machine
Astrodev:
220 Celsius would make sense as the 2 components of the fluid are water 30% BP 100 Celsius and DPG 70% BP 230 Celsius
paluszak:
I thought the same, but I cannot find anything other than one on Amazon that says it is a 98 degree C variety? Here is mine....
paluszak:
Okay, sorry, I think I finally found the correct "closest" example...
See:

The question is simply, which thermal fuse (which I have confirmed as bad) do I use in conjunction with this cutout switch?
Thanks in advance for any assistance!
...Anyone?

Because the thermal cutoff (fuse) has a safety function, I can't give you a temperature value out of my hat. Especially without knowing make/model :P
Antari F-80Z uses "220 degree" thermostat and "172 degree" TCO, so the TCO (location) must be monitoring pump outflow (heater inflow). You have to get water to steam to get pressure, without burning the glycol, so my money is on Celcius.
From Big Clive MAKE YOUR OWN SMOKE FLUID "... In reality the risk of burning occurs at about 400 degrees centigrade and most machines operate down in the 200 - 300 degree region."

The machine is a Chauvet FX-800, and I cannot find information on this particular model ANYWHERE!? I have the manual and it is completely useless as well. Thanks again for your contribution. I am checking out djlightingdiscount.com right now!
