Special equipment: defrosting with hot water
NOTE
For hot-water defrosting, the freeze-dryer must be connected to a hot
water supply.
The ice condenser is defrosted by feeding hot water into the ice condenser
chamber. The hot water is sprayed onto the ice condenser until the
maximum filling level is reached in the ice condenser chamber. Then, the
feed flow will be stopped automatically and the drain valve will be opened
until the liquid level in the ice condenser chamber falls below a certain
level. This process will be repeated at certain intervals until the preselected
defrosting time has elapsed.
In order to avoid damage, any residual water must be removed from the ice
condenser chamber directly after the completion of the defrosting process
by way of a cloth.
