1.
General information
This manual is a short description for handling measurements with the Chip DSC in combination with a
cooling option to investigate subambient measurements. The presented options are the most
common, that are usually used. However, due to continuously development changes and new options
are possible. For more Information, read the other available instructions or specific manuals for the
Chip DSC.
2. Preparation of the Chip-DSC 10 System
2.1 Peltier system
o
Easy to use and continuous cooling option with thermo electric generators
o
Δ
T up to 30 K below ambient temperature is possible
o
place the cooling block on the ready to use Chip-DSC 10
o
tighten the screws at the blue main plate
o
connect the Peltier cooler with power supply and turn on the cooling device
2.2 QuenchCooling system
o
Easy to use and efficient cooling option with liquid nitrogen for lowest temperatures
o
Temperatures down to -180 °C are possible
o
Place the cooling block on the ready to use Chip-DSC 10
o
Tighten the screws at the blue main plate
o
Fill the QC container with liquid nitrogen until you reach the required temperature
o
Closing the measurement cell during cooling and measurement avoid condensation near the
sensor
