INFORMATION
A humidifier bottle with antifoam reagent can be installed be-
tween exit gas cooler and the exit gas filter if significant foam
formation is expected.
Take the following into account for autoclaving:
Only use a new, clean and dry exit gas filter and fix it in such a
way that it cannot slip.
ALWAYS keep the exit gas line - hose at the exit gas cooler
with secured exit gas filter - open.
CAUTION
If pressure equalisation does not take place via a top plate
opening or the mounted exit gas cooler, overpressure or vac-
uum in the culture vessel may occur during autoclaving.
Connecting the hoses for the exit gas cooler to the basic unit
In order to connect the exit gas cooler to the water supply on the
basic unit after autoclaving the culture vessel, the pressure hoses
must be prepared as follows:
Procedure
1.
Plug the pressure hoses for water inlet and outlet according
the symbols on the basic unit into their connectors.
If no exit gas cooler is used, close the manual control valve for
water flow on the basic unit or close the hose connectors with
the plugs provided with the equipment.
