ALPHA 1-4 LSC& ALPHA 2-4 LSC& 6 Operation If in one section the value " " (infinite) is selected for a process phase, the next phase must be started manually via the button "Operating mode: select/start". NOTE In the manual mode, the set values of the active phase can be changed during the process run. In this case, the control system adapts the unit to the new set values as quickly as possible. After the completion of a phase, the system switches to the next phase without switching the unit to standby.
PAGE 58
ALPHA 1-4 LSC& ALPHA 2-4 LSC& 6 Operation Viewing or editing the set values: • Press the button “Set values: view/edit” (see chapter 6.5.1.1 - "Main window "Manual""). The following dialog box will be displayed: 1 2 "Aeration" button "Defrosting" button 3 "Media drain" button (special equipment) "Leakage test" button (option) 4 Fig. 52: Dialog box "Set values: view/edit" Fields that are displayed in the form of buttons can be edited.

ALPHA 1-4 LSC& ALPHA 2-4 LSC& 6 Operation Fig. 54: Representation of a freeze-drying process Program sections When the programmer module executes a freeze-drying process, it executes the various sections that were created one after the other until the last section is completed. Within the various sections, the system calculates linear ramps for the temperature and vacuum. These ramps start with the set value of the previous section and end with the set value of the current section.
PAGE 61
ALPHA 1-4 LSC& ALPHA 2-4 LSC& 6 Operation Conditions for switching to the next section For all of the program sections to be executed automatically, certain switching conditions must be fulfilled at the end of each section. If these conditions are not fulfilled, e.g. due to incorrect set values, a corresponding process message will be displayed. Ice condenser temperature: This value is checked only when the system switches from freezing (loading) to drying. The ice condenser temperature must be -40°C.
PAGE 62
ALPHA 1-4 LSC& ALPHA 2-4 LSC& 6 Operation Vacuum pump warm-up Apart from the execution of the various sections, the PGMplus programmer module also controls other tasks that need to be performed during the process run, e.g. the automatic activation of the vacuum pump. If the pressure control valve is closed, the PGMplus programmer module shifts the warm-up phase of the vacuum pump to the freezing phase so that it is before the first drying section.
PAGE 63
ALPHA 1-4 LSC& ALPHA 2-4 LSC& 6 Operation Creating a blank program (1) This button is used to call up a blank program template. Only section 1 is pre-defined as the loading section. In this phase, the start conditions of the programs are defined. The room temperature (20°C) is the standard default. If the product is frozen outside the freeze-dryer (double-chamber method), the shelf temperature must be adapted accordingly in section 1.
PAGE 64
ALPHA 1-4 LSC& ALPHA 2-4 LSC& 6 Operation • Pressing the button “Diagram” (3) displays the program in the form of a diagram. • Pressing the button “Program name” (2) calls up an input field in which the name of the program can be changed. • The button “Save” (7) can be used in between or at the end of the program creation in order to save the program. • The button “Program” (1) calls up the main window. The system will ask the user whether the program shall be saved if this has not been done yet.
PAGE 65
ALPHA 1-4 LSC& ALPHA 2-4 LSC& 6 Operation • • • • 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.
PAGE 66
ALPHA 1-4 LSC& ALPHA 2-4 LSC& 6 Operation Option: Comparative pressure measurement (see chapter 6.6 - "Optional extensions") The indication of the measurement value "dp Comp" 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". NOTE The comparative pressure measurement can be activated or deactivated by pressing the button in the dialog box.

In order to be able to desorb, the particle must have, or be provided with, a sufficient amount of energy in order to overcome the binding energy. Eutectic point The eutectic point is the point at which a homogenous mixture (e.g.
