    Description • Dynamic Rotor Inertia Check (DRIC): As the rotor accelerates, rotor inertia is measured and the rotor energy is calculated for the speed set by the user. If the calculated rotor energy is determined to be excessive, the centrifuge recalculates a permitted set speed and uses this value to avoid possible rotor damage.

  • Page 36: Friction Reduction System (Frs)

    Description FRICTION REDUCTION SYSTEM (FRS) The friction reduction system (FRS) uses a mechanical rotary vane vacuum pump to reduce chamber pressure to approximately one- quarter atmosphere (190 mm Hg). The pump turns on after the run is started, before rotor friction reaches a high level. When the required vacuum level is reached, the pump turns off.
