Tip
►
This component allows recovering the condensation water (HM-VF) or the water accumulated into the
permeable membrane tube (for HM-VF) in order to prevent the water reaches the chamber incubator. For
example, in the case of HM-VF, when you switch your gas mixer off, the gas stops flowing through the
permeable water membrane for a little time but the membrane continues to permeate the water and its little
tube fills. When you switch your gas mixer on again, the stored water is recovered into the water trap and it
does not reach the chamber incubator. The Water Trap is directly connected to the Humidity Module by the
TUBE H (for HM-VF, see Figure 66)
The Water Trap should not fill because the stored water evaporates when the system restarts in the standard
working condition. If it fills because of anomalous operating condition, you have to open it to empty it:
•
Loosen the water trap cover screws (M2x8, A in Figure 56)
•
Lift the cover and empty the water trap

connections between the Heating Box and the Enclosure
. The system
includes four tubes (TUBE J). The first two allow to connect the RED side of the Heating Box to hoses on
the BACK of the enclosure, the other two tubes to connect the BLUE side of the Heating Box to hoses on
the TOP of the enclosure
