mation is highlighted as WARNING and CAUTION instructions; you must obey these

instructions. The use of WARNINGS and CAUTIONS is defined below.

WARNING: Warnings are given where failure to observe the instruction could

result in injury or death to people.

result in damage to equipment, associated equipment and process.

In accordance with the recommendations of IEC1010, the following warning symbols

may appear on the freeze dryer:

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 SCOPE OF THE MANUAL

The ModulyoD is the ice condenser section of a freeze drying system. It is designed

specifically for freeze drying biological samples and pharmaceutical preparations in a

laboratory environment. The ModulyoD, when used in conjunction with a vacuum source

and manifold or other sample container, forms a complete freeze drying system. The

ModulyoD may also be suitable for use as a low temperature (-50 °C.) vapor trap.

Please refer to Appendix A for specific limitations regarding the use of the ModulyoD as

a vapor trap.

The ModulyoD is used with a variety of optional accessories to freeze materials in bulk

trays, flasks, tubes, vials or ampules. These optional accessories are described in

Section 6.0 and depicted inAppendix B. The ModulyoD may also be used as a low tem-

perature vapor trap (cold trap) for a variety of devices. These include vacuum concen-

trators, rotary evaporators and vacuum ovens.

The ModulyoD itself is made of three basic parts, the condenser chamber, a refrigera-

tion system and the user interface. The refrigerant used in the ModulyoD is CFC free.

All ModulyoD components are housed in a steel cabinet that is designed for bench-top

use. The major components of the ModulyoD are described in the following sections.

(Please refer to Figures 1 and 2 on page 4 for the location of each component.)

Refer to Figure 3, on page 6 for the location of components of the refrigeration system

on the ModulyoD.

NOTE: There are no longer user-serviceable parts inside the ModulyoD refrigeration

system.

The condenser chamber is cooled by refrigerant, which evaporates in the copper cool-

ing coil wound externally around the chamber. The thermo expansion valve (item2) pro-

vides excellent performance to the system. The compressor (item1) is a high-capacity,

air-cooled, hermetically sealed unit.

A suction-line accumulator (item 3) in the return line from the cooling-coil to the com-

pressor prevents slugs of liquid refrigerant, which might cause damage, from reaching

the compressor.

A filter dryer (item 4) in the line between the liquid receiver (item 5) and the expansion

valve absorbs any residual particulate and water contamination in the system. The fil-

ter dryer does not need to be serviced or replaced.

The electrical fan (item 6) simultaneously cools down the condenser coil (item 7) and

the compressor.

See Section 2.2 on page 12 for refrigerant type and charge.

1.2.1.2 THE REFRIGERATION SYSTEM

The accessory flange and condenser chamber are made entirely of stainless steel.

The chamber itself is a thin walled cylinder with a dish shaped bottom. It has a total

capacity of 5 liters of ice. The accessory flange is a large diameter flat circular plate

located immediately above the chamber. The accessory flange is designed to accept

a wide variety of accessory items. A large opening in the center of the accessory

flange provides easy inspection, cleaning and defrosting of the condenser chamber. It

also facilitates high vacuum pumping rates. Acircular cooling coil wrapped around the

outside of the condenser chamber cools the walls of the chamber. This coil is cooled

to approximately -50 °C under normal operating conditions with no load applied. At

this temperature most water vapor will condense and freeze on the chamber walls.

Table 1 – CONTROL PANEL DESCRIPTION

Control Figure # Item # Use

The user interface is a membrane panel with two indicator bars, two digital displays and

two pushbutton actuators. It is located on the upper sloping surface of the front fascia of

the ModulyoD. Through this interface the user will switch on and off and moving refrig-

eration and vacuum. Figure 5, Figure 2 and Table 1 (below) locate and describe, in

detail, the function of each item.

1.2.1.3 USER INTERFACE

To switch refrigeration system on and off.

To show temperature of the condenser chamber in °C.

When the temperature of the condenser chamber is equal to

or higher than ambient temperature, ‘rt’ is displayed, which

stands for ‘room temperature’.

The lamp is on when the refrigeration system is on.

The temperature indicator bar is a multicolored display

designed to indicate operating status from a distance. Green

indicates a temperature at or near minimum (approximately -

40 °C.). Amber bars indicate temperatures progressing from

approximately -40° to -7°. Red bars indicate temperatures pro-

gressing from -7° to ambient (see Figure 6, page 8).

To switch vacuum pump on and off if the pump is plugged

into auxiliary power outlet of the ModulyoD (see Section 3.5,

page 15).

The lamp is on when the vacuum pump is on.

To show absolute pressure in the condenser chamber.

Readings start when pressure is less then 50 mbar and are

in millibars down to 1.0 millibar. When the vacuum pressure

drops below 1.0 millibar, the pressure will then be displayed

in micro-bars. When pressure is above 50 mbar, ‘Hpr’ is dis-

played, which stands for ‘High pressure’.

The vacuum indicator bar is a multicolored display designed

to indicate operating status from a distance. Green indicates

a pressure at or below 1mbar. Amber bars indicate

pressures progressing from approximately 1 to 13 mbar.

Red bars indicate pressures progressing from 13 to 52

mbar, (see Figure 7, page 8).

To switch the ModulyoD on and off.

let, drain valve and vacuum port. Figure 2 and Table 2 locate and describe the electrical

connections.

1.2.1.5 CONNECTIONS

The ModulyoDis shipped with the condenser extension assembly installed (see Figure 8).

This extension assembly is necessary to prevent the formation of ice in the vacuum pump

connection. The extension assembly should only be removed when working with the Spin

Freezer 96 freeze drying accessory (part numbers F05637000 or F05637115).
