  3. Mechanical Vacuum Pump Oils For Use In Freeze Drying Systems 1/27/2006
    In attempting to write a general engineering specification for vacuum pump oils to be used in Hull Company freeze drying equipment, many types of oils were encountered from many different manufacturers all claiming different things about what seemed to be the same oils. To help sort through this confusion, it was found useful to classify the oils into general categories. It is hoped that this information will be helpful in determining which vacuum pump oil is correct for your application...
  4. Considerations When Specifying Ultimate Freeze Drying Vacuum 1/27/2006
    One of the conditions inherent to the freeze drying process is that of a proper vacuum. An evacuated chamber is essential to the vapor-pressure relationship necessary for the sublimation of ice directly into vapor. For sublimation to occur, the vacuum level must be at least below the triple point of water which is well documented to be 0 degrees celsius and 4.58 Torr. Once below this point is it possible to change the state from ice directly from vapor without passing through a liquid phase...
  5. An Explanation Of Leak Rate 1/27/2006
    Personnel involved with freeze-drying technology must deal with evacuated vessels and the testing and criteria that assure that a vessel is free of significant leaks...
  6. Rotary Disk Valve 1/27/2006
    In a typical freeze-drying production process, it is desirable to be able to isolate the freeze-drying chamber from the external condenser...
  7. Freeze Dryer Condenser Surface Area Versus Shelf Area 1/27/2006
    Proper design of any sublimation/condensing system (a.k.a. freeze dryer) must take into consideration sizing of two of its most basic components: heat transfer shelves and the condensing surfaces...
  8. Surface Roughness Measurements 1/27/2006
    Surface finish is a critical issue to those involved in pharmaceutical process equipment. Thus, one must understand the various means used to measure surface roughness...
