3. Functional description
(See drawing: "Block diagram ")
3.1 Cold circuit
The cold circuit is indicated on the block diagram with a thick black line.
Cold air is generated in a closed cooling system, filled with the coolant R404A. The filled quantity
is indicated on the plate in the device.
The compressor (6) compresses the gaseous coolant from an initial pressure at the
environmental temperature of approx. 0.6 MPa to an operating pressure of 2.5 MPa. Depending
on operating condition, the maximum temperature of the compressed coolant can be approx.
90° C to110° C. The compressed gaseous coolant gets into the condenser (5). The fan (5) blows
room air through the condenser (5). The coolant is cooled and liquefies at a temperature below
55° C. The pressure of the liquid coolant is approx. 1.8 MPa. The air flow of the fan (5) also
cools the surface of the compressor (6). The fan (5) operates at maximum speed and is not
regulated.
The coolant gets into the evaporator (2) thanks to the mechanical filter (4) and valve (3). It is
spread by the nozzle of the valve (3) The heat exchanger (7) cools. The valve (3) has a
temperature-dependent adjusting device, that adjusts the quantity of coolant in such a way that
only minimum temperatures to approx. -40 °C can occur in the evaporator (2). The pressure in
the evaporator (2) is 0.15 MPa to 0.2 MPa.
The evaporator (2) is designed so that only gaseous coolant can get back into the compressor
(6).
Room air is sucked through the filter mat (8) of the fan (1), blown through the heat exchanger (7)
and then gets to the treated surface cooled.
Moisture is removed from the room air in the heat exchanger (7). It freezes and precipitates as
snow. If the cold system is switched off, the snow melts and the liquid collects in the water
vessel (12).
3.2 Regulating coldness
The temperature sensor (9) measures the real temperature on the evaporator (2). The computer
(A100) evaluates the signal analogously and at a lower temperature limit (- 30 °C) it switches off
the compressor (6) and fan of the condenser (5) via the Optor relay and at an upper temperature
limit (- 25 °C) turns them back on.
With this regulation, the compressor operates in an optimum operating range.
3.3 Cold air control
When treatment is started, the Opto relay (11) turns on the ventilator (1). The air flow of the
ventilator (1) can be changed in 10 steps. For this purpose, a pulse-wide modulated signal is
generated by the computer (A100) with a base frequency of approx. 6 kHz, whose periodic has
different impulse break ratio, depending on the air level (20 % at air level 1 to 100 % at air
level10). When treatment is stopped, the Opto relay (11) turns off the ventilator (1).
Serviceanweisung Cryoflow 700/1000 – Version 01/2003 Seite 6 von 20
3.4 De-icing
During treatment, snow (3.10 forms in the heat exchanger. After a few hours, this snow strongly
reduces the set cold air flow (3.3). The heat exchange is no longer optimum and the temperature
of the cold air increases.
The heat exchanger (7) should be de-iced, to return to normal operating conditions.
When the device is turned off, the snow melts completely in about 5 hours.
The resulting water flows into the water vessel (12).
An operating key can also trigger de-icing (see Instructions for use, 7). The Opto relay (10) turns
off the compressor (6) and the ventilator of the compressor (5). The ventilator (1) is turned on by
the Opto relay (11) and warm room air is blown through the heat exchanger (7). Complete deicing takes approx. 30 to 40 minutes at a room temperature of 23 °C.
If the heat exchanger (7) reaches + 8 °C, de-icing is automatically stopped.
The same operating key can be used to stop de-icing.
3.5 Measuring fill level
Water gets into the water vessel (12) due to de-icing (3.4).
From device number 00101 to device number 00325
There is a turnable float with a magnet in the water vessel. At a certain water quantity, the
magnet turns on the level switch (13) (glass tube switch). The compressor (6), ventilator of the
condenser (5) and the ventilator (1) are turned off. A message appears on the display,
mentioning that the water vessel (12) should be emptied.
The level switch (13) is opposite the magnet, on the rear of the recipient for the water vessel
(12). To replace the level switch (13) the recipient of the water vessel (12) and right side wall
(5.1) must be screwed off.
From device number 00326
There is no float with magnet.
3 pressure switches are used as level switch. They are located under the movable recipient of
the water vessel (12). From a certain weight of the water vessel (12), they come on. If the
pressure switches are defective, the recipient for the water vessel (12) must be changed.
