LABOBLUE – full double jacket water cooling without wasting water, Version M
- Full double jacket cooling

- Ultrcooler integrated without extra charges
- For open vessels

- No waste of cooling water due to integrated storage system and recirculation

 

The unit can be equipped with a high efficient recooling system to dramatically reduce cooling down times when sterilizing liquids. The double jacket is floated with cold demineralised water, by circulating the water around the chamber the energy is transported out of the system. As a result the cooling down time can be reduced up to 50%*. The main advantage is the full double jacket. Different from a cooling coil around the chamber the double jacket ensures the contact of cooling liquid onto the full surface of the chamber and a fast transport of heat energy. 

The cooling system is being fed from the storage tank of demineralised water. After circulation around the double jacket the water is being pumped back into the tank. Integrated into the tank is a heat exchanger, mainly using the water required for the exhaust steam condenser, to cool down the water inside the tank. Additionally more cold tap water can be used for heat exchange purposes, the values can be set in the relevant programmes..

Up to now autoclaves with integrated water cooling usually consume approx. 50 l of demineralised water for cooling purposes. This water is pumped into the drain and wasted. The LABOBLUE system offers real cost savings and saves our limited natural resources

 

- For open vessels without loss of liquid
- As LABOBLUE Version M, but additional with counter pressure by compressed air

 

- For open and completely closed vessels without loss of liquid
- As LABOBLUE Version MS, but additional with fan inside the chamber to avoid temperature gradients and forced cooling results

 

The integrated fan inside the chambers avoids temperature gradients inside the chamber and ensures forced convection within the system. As a result cooling down time is reduced by up to 80%.*

LABOVAC – the complete vacuum system
- Single pre-vacuum
- Fractionated pre-vacuum

- Superdry integrated without extra charges
- Drying vacuum
- Additional heating during vacuum drying is integrated into the option

 

When sterilizing hollow items and mixed waste fractions a complete deaeration of the chamber is usually difficult to achieve. But the principles of steam sterilisation require saturated steam conditions, meaning the part of not condensable gases (e.g. air) should not be more than 2%. A vacuum system is required.

Integrated into the compact housing of the unit is a high performance water-ring vacuum pump. The capacity of the pump is suitable to evacuate the chamber and the sterilisations goods fast and reliable. Depending on the sterilisation goods programmes with single pre-vacuum or fractionated pre-vacuum can be selected. The number of fractions, same as the vacuum values can be set in the relevant programmes. 

A drying vacuum is useful when sterilizing pipette tips, glassware, filter and textiles since no drying in a drying oven is required after sterilisation. For drying purposes it is required to additionally heat the chamber during this process. During the drying vacuum the chamber is heated with steam pulsing through the double jacket. This function is always included into the vacuum option.

 

LABOPROTECT – the protective air exhaust system

LABOKLAV l be equipped with an exhaust air filter. It is suitable to be used in laboratories sterilising pathogen material. The exhaust air filtration system corresponds with the valid regulations. Condensate is being held back in front of the filter, dropping back into the sterilisation chamber and is heated out during the cycle. Integrated into the hydrophobic 0, 2 µm filter element is a PT 100 temperature sensor to control that the filter element is completely sterilized during the cycle.Integrated into the housing of the steriliser the filter element is easy to reach and can be replaced within minutes by the user. A stainless steel housing protects the filter element. A filter counter is integrated into the control. The control will remind the user to replace the filter in time.
