RVC 2-18 CD& HCL 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& HCL 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& HCL 6 Operation Opening the lid The lid can only be opened if the rotor is at a standstill. It is not possible to open the lid during an evaporation process 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.
RVC 2-18 CD& HCL 6 Operation Evaporation manual If the unit is in the standby mode, the evaporation phase can be started directly without a warm-up phase. For this purpose, select from the menu "Start with phase" the item "Evaporation manual". 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.

Cleaning the rotor shaft and magnetic coupling 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 7 Rotor shaft with magnetic coupling 8 Lower ball bearing in the rotor shaft Fig.

RVC 2-18 CD& HCL 12 Glossary 12 Glossary Boiling retardation The temperature of a liquid can rise above the boiling point without the liquid actually starting to boil. 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. It occurs when neither the liquid nor the wall of the vessel include any condensation nuclei at which vapour bubbles might form.
RVC 2-18 CD& HCL 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.
