    INSTRUCTION MANUAL-CoolSafe Freeze Dryersmodels Page 10 / 19  The drain valve is located at the front, and is used for draining the ice condenser after de-icing. 5. Operation The freeze drying process is a balance between the heat absorbed by the sample to vaporize the ice, and the heat removed by the condenser to convert the water vapor into ice.

Start the application of the vacuum by opening the vacuum valve and check that the AWO-Indicator stays green indicating OK for freeze-drying. 3. Connect a flask to an appropriate cone on the rubber valve. Turn the rubber valve to position (B). The AWO-Indicator should always be green prior to connecting the next flask.

    INSTRUCTION MANUAL-CoolSafe Freeze Dryersmodels Page 14 / 19 5.4. Freeze-drying using chambers 1. Make sure that the (external) vacuum valve is closed. 2. Mount the chamber and shelf arrangement on the CoolSafe. Check that all connections are tight and the chamber is closed. If heated shelves are to be used, refer to the controller manual. 3.

  • Page 15: Stopping The Vacuum Pump

    INSTRUCTION MANUAL-CoolSafe Freeze Dryersmodels Page 15 / 19 5.6. Stopping the vacuum pump Close the (external) vacuum valve and let the pump run for a minimum of 45 minutes after the freeze-drying has ended. This is to avoid any possible condensates remaining in the pump oil. If the freeze dryer is used regularly during the week, it is recommended that the vacuum pump runs constantly with gas ballast valve open and the vacuum valve closed.
