7.1.6 Condenser
In order to cool the refrigerant that is compressed by the refrigeration unit, a
lamellar condenser is used. It is cooled by air.
Dust and dirt obstruct the cooling flow of air. Dust on condenser pipes and
lamellas reduces the heat exchange and thus the performance of the refrigeration
unit. This is why the installation site should be as clean as possible.
•
Check the condenser at least once per month for dirt and clean it if
necessary.
•
If you have any queries, please contact our service department (see 6.2.9
"Service Contact", page 49).
7.2 Sterilization and Disinfection of the Rotor Chamber and
Accessories
•
Use commercially-available disinfectants such as, for example, Sagrotan
®
,
Buraton
®
, or Terralin
®
(available at chemist’s shops or drugstores).
•
The centrifuges and the accessories consist of various materials. A possible
incompatibility must be considered.
•
Before using cleaning or decontamination agents that were not
recommended by us, contact the manufacturer to ensure that such a
procedure will not damage the centrifuge.
•
For autoclaving, consider the continuous heat resistance of the individual
materials (see 7.2.1 “Autoclaving“, page 55). Please contact us if you have
any queries (see 6.2.9 "Service Contact", page 49).
If dangerous materials (e.g. infectious and pathogenic substances) are
used, the centrifuge and accessories must be disinfected.
