CPD7501 Critical Point Dryer Site Requirements

Electricity

Ensure that a suitable mains electricity supply (110 Vac - 20amps or 240 Vac - 13amps, frequency 50/60 Hz) is available. Check that the voltage label attached on the rear of the cabinet is suitable for the local voltage and frequency.
The units are supplied for either 230V or 110V operation at 50/60Hz. The maximum running power required is 750VA.

Water

Water-cooling is required to dissipate the heat generated by the Peltier module. The water connections are located on the left-hand side panel of the unit. The inlet (bottom) and outlet (top) connections will be made to a suitable water tap and waste. A flow rate of 1 litre/min is required.

Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

The CPD7501 requires a cylinder of liquid CO2 FITTED WITH A SYPHON TUBE (indicated by a vertical white stripe on the cylinder). If there is any doubt regarding the presence of a syphon tube, advice should be sought from the gas supplier.

Connection of the CPD7501 to a carbon dioxide cylinder

Cylinder connection threads vary from country to country and even between manufacturers in the same country. For example, the transfer pipe supplied is fitted with 1/4" British Standard Pipe (BSP) and 0.860” x 14 tpi. union. These are standard threads for the UK and generally in the rest of the world, but will not fit cylinders in the USA. An E3000-US kit should be specified for use within the USA, this includes a transfer pipe adaptor which will fit USA cylinders. If it is found necessary to fabricate another transfer pipe, advice should be sought from a local supplier of high-pressure fittings.
