Manual override valve

 - In the event of a total control failure, a

manual  override  valve  is  provided  which  can  be  used  to
manually introduce liquid nitrogen into the chamber.

Safety features 

- The lid activates an interlock switch to switch

off the heater, fan and liquid-nitrogen solenoid valves when it
is  opened.  Safety  from  overheating  due  to  sensor  failure  is
provided  by  a  thermal  cutout.  Relief  valves  set  to  50psi
(3.4bar) are fitted on the input side of the solenoid valves.

Liquid-Nitrogen Delivery System

It  is  normal  to  use  a  22psi  Dura-Lo  or  Dura-Tech  cylinder  to
provide the supply of liquid nitrogen to the freezer. The cylinder
is  filled  by  the  supplier  and,  being  self-pressurising,  does  not
require a pump to deliver the liquid nitrogen to the freezer.

Note   

The freezer must not be used with supply pressures in

excess of 30psi.

Personal Computer (PC)

The optional DeltaT software on a PC enables you to create and
store profiles. You can run one of these profiles from the PC and
view the recorded chamber and sample temperatures graphically.
All  results  from  the  run  are  stored  on  the  PC  for  traceability
purposes.

Any  profile  you  run  from  the  PC  can  be  stored  in  the  freezer's
memory. This enables you to rerun the program directly from the
freezer, without having the PC connected.

Printer

If  you  are  using  a  PC,  it  is  strongly  recommended  that  you
connect  a  printer.  You  can  use  the  printer  for  tasks  such  as
printing programs and graphs.
