Page 32: Terms Explained
User Manual XI. Terms Explained Figure 32 • Prefreeze Time: When the “Frozen product” option is switched “OFF” in the Recipe Selector page (Figure 33), meaning the product is not frozen, the program will start cooling the product once the auto-drying program starts. The program will move to the next stage (Evacuation stage) only when the shelf temperature has been lower than the Prefreeze Temp for the duration set in the Prefreeze Time. - Page 33 User Manual Figure 34 • Evacuation Time: Evacuation Time and Vacuum are used to control the evacuation stage. The program will turn the vacuum pump on when the evacuation stage begins. The program will progress to the next stage, the drying stage, when the chamber pressure has been lower than the pressure set in Vacuum for the duration set in the Evacuation Time.
- Page 34 User Manual • Vacuum Low Limit: see Vacuum High Limit. Figure 36 • Vacuum Hysteresis: Vacuum Hysteresis is used as the maximum allowable overshoot of the chamber pressure when the chamber pressure is controlled by the program via the vacuum valve. During each drying step, the range of the chamber pressure is between the current step’s target Vacuum - 5Pa and the target Vacuum + Vacuum Hysteresis.
- Page 35 User Manual • Process End Temperature: Process End Temperature and Process End Pressure are used to hold the machine until an operator makes any changes once the drying program is completed. • Process End Pressure: see Process End Temperature. • Maximum Shelf Temperature: Maximum Shelf Temperature is a safety limit to prevent the shelves from reaching a temperature which may damage the product.
