* Speed in revolutions per minute (rpm) is related to angular velocity, , according to the following:
 
= rpm
Where = rad/s. All further references in this manual to speed will be designated as rpm.
**
The centrifuge will operate at ambient temperatures up to 40°C, but refrigeration system performance may be less than optimal above
25°C.
After the centrifuge system has reached equilibrium. Ambient air temperature at the centrifuge air inlets must be between 2°C to 40°C
with maximum relative humidity of 80% at 31°C, linearly decreasing to 50% at 40°C. If the ambient air temperature is above 25°C, the
centrifuge may not maintain low temperatures at high speeds, therefore, avoid areas near heat sources (for example, direct sunlight,
heating pipes and radiators). Also, avoid close grouping of centrifuges or other heat-producing laboratory equipment.

As measured with SE-12 rotor at 22,000 rpm (with compressor turned on) 3 feet from the front of the unit and four feet from the floor.
*****
For the SS-34 rotor spinning 20,000 rpm at 4°C, after it has reached equilibrium. Other rotors, speeds, and temperatures cause the
heat output to vary.
