RVC 2-18 CD& 6 Operation Values window (6) The values window is displayed after the initialisation of the CDplus control system. It is divided into two areas. Each value window is structured as follows: 9 Measuring channel 10 Set value (only shown in the run mode) 11 Unit of the measured value 12 Actual value Fig.
RVC 2-18 CD& 6 Operation Operating mode (14) The rotational vacuum concentrator is in the standby mode. All aggregates are switched off. The rotational vacuum concentrator is in the run mode. The timer is deactivated. The rotational vacuum concentrator is in the run mode. The timer is activated. Active phases (15) Open lid The rotor is at a standstill, and the lid can be opened. Warm-up The vacuum pump and/or the cooling trap are in the warmup phase.
RVC 2-18 CD& 6 Operation During the evaporation process, the housing, lid and interior of the rotational vacuum concentrator can reach surface temperatures of more than +50°C. Risk of burns! DANGER Warm-up Before starting an evaporation process, the vacuum pump and the cooling trap should warm-up until they reach their respective operating temperatures. For this purpose, the warm-up phase can be started with or without a rotor. The time and the temperature can be preselected (see chapter 6.5.3.
RVC 2-18 CD& 6 Operation Stopping the evaporation process prematurely If the timer is active, the evaporation process will be stopped automatically when the preset time is over. The process can also be aborted manually. • Open the menu "Select mode" with the left-hand function key. • Select the function "Stop evaporation". • Press the right-hand function key to confirm. Fig.

Remove the rotor shaft from the axle by lifting it vertically upward. Fig. 43: Removing the rotor shaft • • • 52 Clean the lid with a disinfectant or cleaning agent. Wipe out the rotor chamber and clean it with a cleaning agent or disinfectant. Clean the rotor shaft and the magnetic coupling.
RVC 2-18 CD& 8 Maintenance and service Ensure that no cleaning agent or disinfectant gets into the ball bearings of the rotor shaft as it may wash out the ball bearing grease. This can lead to irreparable damage. CAUTION 5 6 7 Rotor shaft with magnet coupling Ball bearing Hexagon socket key Fig. 44: Rotor shaft with ball bearings • • 4 5 Clean the thrust piece, the compression spring and the countersunk screw. Clean the cap and coat the O-ring of the cap with a thin layer of vacuum grease.
RVC 2-18 CD& 8 Maintenance and service • • • • • Push the drive shaft onto the axle. Install the thrust piece and the compression spring on the axle and secure them in place with the countersunk screw with 1.5 Nm. Push the cap fully onto the drive shaft. Connect the power cord and switch the RVC on. Perform a test run. If the unit does not reach the necessary speed, the gap between the magnetic coupling and rotor chamber bottom may be too wide (optimum value: 2.4 0.3mm).

Vibrations or shocks quickly lead to the formation of a large gas bubble that escapes explosively from the vessel. This phenomenon is known as boiling retardation.
RVC 2-18 CD& 12 Glossary Safety pressure Since the vacuum has a dominating influence on the product temperature, Martin Christ Gefriertrocknungsanlagen GmbH has integrated a so-called safety pressure function into their units in order to protect the products. If the pressure inside the rotor chamber rises too quickly – above the safety limit – the energy supply of the unit will be interrupted so that the evaporation process slows down. Fig.
