Connect transfer hose to liquid side of 

cool specimens.

supply tank. 

Controller is improperly set.

Readjust controller setting (add Cool+).

Insufficient liquid nitrogen pressure at freezing chamber.

Increase liquid nitrogen supply pressure

to 22 PSIG as measured at the freezing chamber.

Defective limit switch. 

Replace limit switch.  

Nitrogen gas is escaping

Liquid nitrogen pressure supply is too high.

Reduce liquid nitrogen pressure to 22 PSIG.

from pressure relief valve 

Pressure relief valve is defective. 

Replace pressure relief valve.
