This manual provides information for a wide variety of Polycold Cryochiller configurations. Some of the features that are shown are optional and may not be installed on your system. Refer to Brooks Automa- tion sales literature to determine what items are optional.
The innovative cryogenic refrigeration process in the Polycold Cryochiller uses patented refrigerant mixtures and patented control processes developed by Brooks Automation Polycold Systems. Some configurations include advanced controls that reduce power consumption. Models are available that control two independent circuits, providing greater design flexibility for vacuum systems such as two cryocoils or one cryocoil and one cryobaffle.
The Polycold Cryochiller is manufactured in different models and configurations to fit a variety of appli- cations. Table 1-1 shows the currently manufactured Cryochiller model numbers and their description. Contact Brooks Sales for optional configurations.

2. By default, the unit terminates Defrost when the return temperature of the refrigerant reaches 20°C. This assures that no additional moisture condenses on the cryocoil from the atmosphere. The thermocouple and the end point temperature are user configurable if a shortened Defrost cycle is desired. Brooks Automation 6-10 214072 Revision B...
4. Evacuate the vacuum chamber where the cryobaffle is installed to at least 0.01 torr (1.33 Pa). 5. From Standby, select Cool and allow the cryobaffle to cool down. 6. Turn on the high vacuum pump. It is not necessary to wait until the cryobaffle has cooled down. Brooks Automation 6-11 214072 Revision B...
The Defrost cycle may release the captured moisture too quickly and damage the equipment. 3. When the cryobaffle is free of moisture, return the system to Cool mode as described at the begin- ning of this procedure. Brooks Automation 6-12 214072 Revision B...
