Subambient Operation Of The Dsc 6000 - PerkinElmer DSC 6000 Installation And Hardware Manual

Subambient Operation of the DSC 6000

For cooling with liquids, many commercial circulating coolers are available that can be
interfaced to the DSC 6000. The Intracooler (P/N N5374098/N5374099) is recommended for
the range –65 °C to 450 °C. The Portable Cooling Device (P/N N5202068) can be used to
quickly cool the DSC 6000 to ambient temperature, or to cool below room temperature for
occasional subambient measurements. The PCD can be filled with ice, ice water, liquid
nitrogen or any other cooling mixtures.
The DSC 6000 with CryoFill system can be operated in the subambient mode in the range
– 170 °C to 300 °C. Liquid nitrogen serves as the coolant and nitrogen is used as the purge
gas to the sample area. It is also possible to use helium as a purge gas.
