Page 17: The Freeze-Drying Process
Instruction manual for CoolSafe The Freeze-drying process To understand the freeze-drying process, this section describes the theory for the process in short. For more detailed information about freeze-drying please consult available literature. All material in free form will exist in one of three states: Vapour, liquid or solid. As shown in the diagram for water, the physical state is dependent on the surrounding pressure and the temperature. -
Page 18: Technical Specifications
Instruction manual for CoolSafe In the third step, water that is strongly bound to the solids of the sample (called sobbed water) is converted to vapour and removed from the product, this process being referred to as de-sorption. Removing moisture in the de-sorption phase or secondary drying phase, is done at a higher product temperature and at the lowest possible pressure Technical Specifications CoolSafe -55 °C... -

Questions and answers
[Inquiry Regarding Installation of a 3-Way Valve on the Drain Port of CoolSafe] I am currently using a CoolSafe system in our laboratory, and I would like to inquire about a possible modification. Specifically, I am considering installing a 3-way PTFE valve on the drain port of the unit in order to allow for solvent drainage without interrupting the vacuum operation. Could you please advise whether this kind of modification is acceptable and safe for the instrument? Would installing a 3-way valve on the drain port affect vacuum integrity or cooling performance? Are there any recommendations or precautions you can provide regarding such a setup? Thank you in advance for your assistance. I look forward to your guidance.
The manual specifies that the drain valve must be checked for leaks and that it uses a specific Teflon plug to ensure sealing. There is no mention of using a 3-way PTFE valve. Installing a non-standard valve like a 3-way PTFE valve may compromise vacuum integrity or introduce leaks if not properly sealed. It may also affect cooling performance if the system cannot maintain a proper vacuum. Therefore, it is not confirmed to be safe or compatible.
