3. Introduction
The Integrity 10 Reaction Station’s evolutionary design allows the user to perform multiple reactions independently
and simultaneously. Each cell position can be heated/cooled and stirred independently of the cell, next to, or
adjacent to it.
The product can be used inside a fume cupboard, mounted onto a robotic platform or simply operated free
standing on a laboratory work surface. For user safety, the Integrity 10 is driven by a low voltage power supplied
by the PSU (Power Supply Unit). An Ethernet socket provides a means for connecting and controlling the Integrity
10 as part of an integrated system. RS485 / 232 and a Gilson Serial Input/Output Channel (GSIOC) protocol add
to the versatility of the product.

Connect the coolant supply to the Integrity 10 unit ensuring the supply outlet feeds the indicated reaction block
inlet and the return is connected to the indicated outlet. Turn on the coolant supply and check there are no signs
of any water leaks around the connectors. (Turn off the chilled water supply after checking for leaks).
To ensure efcient heating and cooling, the Integrity cell design incorporates high quality copper heat sink components that ensure
optimum heat transfer between the process and the cooling media.
When good quality coolant water is used, no service problems will be experienced associated with internal corrosion or blockages.
However, if coolant water is decient (e.g. hard water, high oxygen content, turbid, contaminated, debris, etc. and this results in the
internal corrosion, or blockage of the cooling system, then this is beyond the control of the equipment manufacturer. As such ColeParmer Limited cannot support warranty claims for blockages, corroded cells etc. that are attributable to poor quality coolant water.
To guard against poor water quality and its affects, the following recommendations are made.
1. At installation, the end user should ensure that the cooling water supply is of distilled water quality.
2. Additives are not recommended
3. A coolant inline lter is
to suit local operating conditions.
4.
Minimal annual service check by Cole-Parmer Limited, or its designated service agent, is recommended
which includes ushing/back ushing/removal and inspection of cell conditions for any early signs of
coolant water problems.
See Appendix 'A'. Integrity cooling guide for more information
For temperatures below 5°C, or as recommended in the chiller manual, a coolant must be used. A mix
of 1:1 laboratory grade ethylene glycol and water is recommended. DO NOT use deionised water.

Use the Multi-Temp in conjunction with the Electrothermal operating instruction book (M7559) supplied
with this product.
ATTENTION Do not install the Multi-Temp on a surface which may become wet as the result of
using chilled water.
The Multi-Temp is used when accurate control of the sample temperature is imperative. The Multi-Temp is used to
control the contents temperature. Thermocouples placed in the chemical solutions are connected to the
Multi-Temp which feeds back constant information on the exact sample temperature. The Integrity 10 measures
the temperature from the thermocouples via the Multi-Temp then adjusts and monitors the sample temperature
according to the temperature settings under both manual and profile control.
7.17.1. Installation of the Multi-Temp
Take the Multi-Temp unit (ATS10001 optional accessory) and connect it to the Integrity 10 unit. Plug the 'D' type
connector into the RS232 socket found on the back of the Multi-Temp case.
Connect the other end of the lead to the RS232, 10 pin output of the Integrity 10 unit.

DECONTAMINATION CERTIFICATE
NOTE:
In the event of any part of this unit becoming damaged, the damaged item(s) should be returned to
damage. Once chilled water has been restored the unit will automatically recommence operation and the warning
message screen will disappear.
If the problem is caused by the water temperature being too high the Integrity 10 will shut itself down as previously
mentioned in order to protect internal parts from damage. Again when the correct temperature chilled water is
restored the unit will recommence operation and the message screen disappears.
Possible reasons for chilled water becoming too hot include but are not exclusive to:
• Failed chiller unit.
• More than one appliance connected to the chiller system returning water at temperature greater than the
chiller can cope with.
•
Integrity 10 connected in series with another piece of equipment returning chilled water at a temperature
above 35°C
•
Low coolant flow rate which is insufficient to remove the heat from the heat exchangers (less than 5/L per minute).

11.5.6. Probe error
If an external probe is being used and it is either left out of the sample solution or drops out of the sample solution
during a run, the following screen will appear if the probe is faulty.
When the Integrity unit senses a block temperature that is 20°C above the solution temperature this error condition
is created.

Cooling Guide
THE INTEGRITY 10 COMPANION GUIDE
The Integrity 10 reacon staon must be used with an appropriately rated cooling system at all
mes, even when the equipment is only used for heang applicaons.
Failure to use an appropriately rated cooling system will negavely impact the performance of
the Integrity 10. In some circumstances this could reduce the life of the product, increase
service frequency or cause permanent damage.
Damage caused to the Integrity 10 through the use of inappropriately rated cooling systems is

In extreme circumstances i.e. when a cooling system is severely under-rated, the chillers reservoir of
coolant will progressively increase in temperature unl the cooling system displays an error message
and potenally stops operaon.
Managing the load on the cooling system
Knowing how to manage the load placed upon your cooling system will help you achieve the
performance you require and will also help you save energy.
There are three main factors which contribut
oThe number of cells being cooled at any me.
oThe cooling rate selected.
oThe minimum temperature required.
Example 1
Cooling 10 cells in parallel places a higher load on the cooling system than only cooling 2 cells in parallel.
Example 2
Cooling at a rate of 5°C/minute places a higher load on the cooling system than cooling at 1°C/minute.
Example 3
Cooling down to a temperature of -30°C places a higher load on the cooling system than cooling down
to a temperature of -10°C.
In a worst case scenario, an expe
uncontrolled ramping profile. Uncontrolled ramping is when a user hasn’t specified a ramp-rate in the
Integrity sengs. In this situaon, both the Integrity and cooler will need to work their hardest to reach
the desired temperature.
The Integrity is easily capable of cooling all 10 cells down to a temperature of -30°C, provided it is
coupled to an appropriately rated cooling system. The me taken to reach a temperature of -30°C using

THE INTEGRITY 10 COMPANION GUIDE
Reducing the load on the cooling system
If you believe your system is struggling to meet the performance demands placed upon it, consider the
following list of suggesons to help reduce the load on the system:
Increase the temperature of the experiment.
Reduce the number of cells which are cooling in parallel.
Ensure your cooling system is regularly serviced and is maintained in line with the
manufacturer’s recommendaons.
Ensure the coolers condenser is clean and has unrestric
Ensure coolant is clean with no contaminates which can block the Integrity heat exchangers.
Reduce the cooling ramp-rate of the experiment.
Reduce the ambient temperature of the laboratory using air condioning.
A good indicaon that your cooling system is under-rated for your experiment is when you observe a
temperature plateau when working below ambient temperatures.
For example: You set up the Integrity to cool all 10 cells down to a temperature of -20°C however
you noced that the cells have
demands placed upon it because the rate at which heat is gathered by the Integrity
now matches the capability of the cooler. (You may also observe an undulaon in the
minimum temperature as the coolers compressor cycles on and off in an aempt to
maintain the coolants temperature.)
only reached -15°C. The cooler is struggling to meet the
ted air-flow.
Selecng a cooling system
Now that we’ve explained the relaonship between the Integrity 10 and the cooling system, we shall
discuss the important specificaons of
There are four primary consideraons when selecng a cooling system:
1 Working temperature range
The first parameter to consider when selecng your recirculang cooler is the working temperature
range. In order for the Integrity to reach a minimum temperature of -30°C, the cooler will need to be
capable of working between 5°C and -5°C.
The working temperature you use will be subjecve to your experiment and is typically determined
empirically. We recommend you start at
you achieve the performance required.
Tip: Don’t set your chiller cooler than needed - it is always best pracce to use the
warmest working temperature possible which achieves your performance
requirements to avoid unnecessary condensaon and to avoid wasng energy.
2 Cooling Capacity
The cooling capacity is a characterisc which determines how quickly the cooler can remove the heat
collected by the Integrity. As menoned previously, th

5°C and progressively reduce the coolers temperature unl
e cooler needs a capacity greater or equal than
84
It is recommended that you select a product with a cooling capacity of at least 1.1KW (1100W) between
the working temperature of range of 5 to -5°C. With this cooling capacity, you will be able to use the
Integrity 10 to its maximum potenal.
Page 85
THE INTEGRITY 10 COMPANION GUIDE
Most manufacturers of recirculang coolers typically specify the cooling capacity of their equipment
using a table, because there is a relaonship between working temperature and cooling capacity of
such systems.
For example, see the ficous table below:
Working temperature (°C) 20 10 0 -10
Cooling Capacity (kW) 2.5 1.8 1 0.4
As you can see from this table, the cooling capacity decreases significantly as the working temperature
is reduced.
It should be noted that manufacturers of recirculang coolers would adverse this system as a
nominal 2.5kW system. This is in fact the cooling capacity at 20°C only. You should always determine
the cooling capacity overthe recommended working temperature range of the Integrity.
It’s possible to run the Integrity using a lower rated cooling capacity, although this isn’t recommended.
Please see the next sec
on on ‘lower rated systems’ for more informaon about this.
3 Flow Rate
The cooler should be capable of providing coolant at a rate of at least 5 Litres per minute, directly into
the Integrity.
If you are sharing your cooling system with other equipment or accessories, you must ensure that the
supply of 5 Litres per minute is maintained for the duraon of your work.
Do not compromise the flow rate of the coolant into the Integrity by using incorrectly specified
ancillary items such as couplers, reducers or te
eces, for example.
e-pi
4 Pressure
In order to obtain the flow rate discussed above, the coolers pump must be capable of providing a
pressure of at least 2 bar.
If you are sharing your cooling system with other equipment or accessories, you must ensure that the
pressure of at least 2 bar is maintained for the duraon of your work.
Lower rated systems
It is not recommended that you use the Integrity with a lower rated system than explained above. If
you do, you will not necessarily be ab
nor will you be able to exploit the full potenal of the Integrity 10 and cool all cells down to a minimum
temperature of -30°C
le to reach the performance characteriscs required by your work

THE INTEGRITY 10 COMPANION GUIDE
Filtering requirements
When coupling your Integrity 10 to a cooling system it is required that you also fit a 50 micron inline
filter (if one is not present in the cooler) to prevent the ingress of contaminates into the cell heat
exchangers. The filter should be installed on the outlet of the chiller.
Paral restricon or blockage of heat exchangers caused by contaminates will impact the system
performance and potenally void your warranty.

Circulang Fluids
Once you have selected your cooling system, you will need to follow the manufacturer’s
recommendaon and use a fluid suitable for your applicaon. Manufacturers will recommend avoiding
an-freeze intended for cars, instead prompng use of fluids designed specifically for lab equipment.
When working with refrigerated and other cooling equipment, it is important to use a fluid that will not

Circulang Fluids – Cooling
Water-based synthec fluids are popular choices for cooling. They can be used across a broad
temperature range, especially when used in sealed or vacuum systems. Glycols, when mixed with water,
become anfreeze. This does not mean that you can buy and use automove anfreeze. What’s good
for your car is not necessarily good for your lab equipment. There are tw
used: Ethylene glycol (EG) and propylene glycol (PG). Of the two, EG has slightly beer thermal
properes and can cool in a broader temperature range. However, it is highly toxic and not usable in all
applicaons. In those cases, PG is a good alternave. We recommend mixing with dislled water; the
best mix rate is 50/50.
