Vacuum pump warm-up
see chapter 6.5.3 - "Freeze-drying with the PGMplus programmer module"
Option: Pressure increase test (only with the double-chamber method)
The pressure increase test can only be performed when the freeze-dryer
is equipped with an intermediate valve.
NOTE
The indication of the measurement value "dp Test" can be configured in
chapter 6.5.1.1 - "Main window "Manual"" under "Actual values of the
current process" in the dialog box "Select actual value".
In contrast to the pressure increase test in the manual mode, repeated
pressing of the button in the program mode enables the selection of
different variants.
• Periodic pressure increase test:
The test will be performed periodically during the entire main or final
drying phase. The parameters "Duration test" and "Time between tests"
apply. The maximum pressure increase is limited to 100%, referring to
the actual value at the beginning of the measurement. If the value is
exceeded, the pressure increase test will be aborted in order to prevent
the product from thawing.
• Progress condition:
In the last main drying or final drying section, two pressure increase
tests will be performed and evaluated. The start point will be calculated
automatically by the control system. The parameters "Duration test" and
"Time between tests" apply.
If, during both tests, the values of the pressure increase test are not
greater than the preset "Pressure increase" parameter, the drying
process will be considered complete at the current shelf temperature
