Introduction

Overview

The Vacucenter VC20 / VC50 is a vacuum oven with a Microprocessor-controller with enhanced Fuzzy-Logic
- Allows precise ramping of temperature as well as an excellent reproduction of temperature distribution in the chamber. Special Insulation - Less heat loss. Saves energy and costs. Ambient temperature of housing surface Robust Swiss quality design – Made even for scientific applications Work Chambers are of stainless steel and are provided with fully adjustable aluminium shelve The chambers have well radiused corners for easy cleaning. Exterior is of textured powder coated mild steel.

Applications

The Vacucenter Line is designed for all purposes of vacuum drying in a variety of laboratory fields. All Systems have a controller with alphanumeric display and programming capabilities. Temperature ranges up to 200°C.

Construction

Extremely compact construction. Saves valuable space in the lab. Inner chamber of electro-polished stainless steel Resistant to chemicals and highly durable. Much more shelf area than other vacuum ovens (for the same inner volume): max. 5 shelves in the VC 50, max. 3 shelves in the VC 20. Shelves made of 5 mm thick aluminium conduct heat efficiently. Aluminium shelves are anodised to resist chemicals. Door seal can easily be removed for cleaning or replacing. The door seal of other vacuum ovens is either glued-in place or screwed-in. VC 2O only: The shelf supports can easily be removed for ease of cleaning. All corners are rounded. The big size glass-window allows a full view of the inner chamber. The window is made of double glazed safety glass. This is a safety feature: should one pane break, there is still a second one. Tile double-glazing is also an excellent thermal insulator. All corners are rounded. The door handle is integrated in the door. No hot surfaces. There is no risk of injury or burn. The door latch is spring loaded. Should there be an over-pressure caused by accidental oxidation inside the chamber, the door will open slightly and allow its release.

Vacuum and Air Systems

Electromagnetic valve controls the vacuum connection at rear. In ease of power failure, this valves shuts automatically, the oven is tight and thus remains under vacuum. When the power comes back, the vacuum valve opens automatically and normal operation resumes. The timer continues where it left off. The inlet of fresh air or inert gas is controlled by a needle valve which allows gentle metering of the incoming air (or gas) and thus prevents turbulence inside the chamber. A deflector plate at the inlet of the chamber prevents the incoming air from blowing down directly at a powder sample.

Controller

Fuzzy-Logic microprocessor controller with digital alphanumeric LCD-Display, real time clock, variable fan speed and temperature ramp. Intelligent Fan-Speed control IntelliFan - Wide range of temperature ramping functions. More user application. In combination with Fuzzy-logic gives you an excellent stability of temperature distribution and accuracy of programmed ramp. Brilliant LCD Display for user-dialog and easy to operate keypad for fast programming and operating. User dialog with controller is displaying your local language. Up to five languages can be selected. Easy to operate and programming with EasyMenu It allows the storage of 50 programs and 15 program steps (a step = a ramp, a temperature, a fan-speed and a dwell time=Hold Time). The programs remain stored in memory even without external power (battery buffered). Holding Time (dwell time) 0 - 999h 59m The real time clock allows a process to be started at any time – i.e.: on January 6, 2002 at 5 30 in the morning. RS-232 interface. All data can be protocol led with a printer or computer. Remote controlling and programming, Door-Switch - switch-off heater/fan by opening door

Safety

DIN 12880 class 3.1 In case of over-temperature, a built in safety controller as a back-up circuit takes over the control of the heating and will shutdown the oven. There is also an additional mechanical over-temperature device which shuts down the oven High quality accurate PT 100 temperature sensors. Superior “Swiss Made” manufacturing quality according ISO9001 Door-Switch - switch-off heater/fan by opening door Optional threshold pressure Switch (no heating until 300 mbar reached)

Definitions of terms

What is a Set Temperature?
A Set Temperature is the target temperature you want operate the system with.
What is a Gradient?
A Gradient is the slope of the heating up process to the specific set temperature. It is indicated as ºC / Minute. Negative Gradients are not allowed. The maximal value of a gradient is system depending and has a range and is pre-defined by factory. A system specific curve of gradient corridors see
What is a Set Vacuum / Hysteresis Vacuum (only with Vacuum Controller Option)?
Set Vacuum is the target vacuum value. Hysteresis Vacuum is the vacuum-value range to the set value. Within this range the valve or pump is not active. This is a P-control behaviour.
What is a Holding Time?
A timer is used to specify how long a set temperature has to be hold. The timer starts counting back when the set temperature is reached. The maximal time you can set is: 999 hours and 59 minutes. This equals a max time of 41 days 15 hours and 59 minutes
What is a Start Date/Time
If you are using a start date or time you will be able to set a future date/time to start a process or a program.
