5.1 Replenishing
When cold, CryoCool condenses water vapor from the air and develops a
CryoCool
build-up of ice. This process is accelerated in humid environments. Loose
crystals may be removed with a strainer. Periodically, the CryoCool must be
refreshed if:
You see an ice build-up on the stainless steel chamber walls; the glass vessel
rises above its usual position, indicating an ice build-up beneath; or the
refrigerated trap seems to be losing efficiency.
The RVT5105 has a drain valve that allows you to removed the defrosted
Cryocool and water contaminates directly from the condenser. To operate
the valve:
Turn the unit off and allow it to defrost (this could take several hours); or
you could pour hot water to melt the ice.
The drain valve may be hooked up to a hose with 3/8 in. barbed fitting to
drain directly into a waste can.
The following pictures show the drain valve open and closed:
