6820 Auto-Fill System for the 6870 Freezer/Mill®
The 6820 Auto-Fill System is designated to automatically maintain the required level of liquid nitrogen within the 6870 Freezer/Mill during operation. The Auto-Fill System is a more efficient and safer way to handle the volume of liquid nitrogen required for processing samples in the 6870 Freezer/Mill. This automated system reduces the loss of liquid nitrogen and saves the time lost when manually filling the reservoir.
The Auto-Fill System requires a cryogenic transfer hose, not included with the 6820 package. These transfer hoses are available in different lengths and can be constructed with different materials. The transfer hose must be configured with a 1/2 inch JIC female flare nut at each end for proper installation. The 6820 system is supplied with a safety relief valve that connects to the liquid nitrogen supply via a 1/2 inch JIC female flare nut.
The Auto-Fill System is available as an option that can be installed when you place an order for a 6870 Freezer/Mill or as a retrofit package for 6870 systems that are already in service.
Please contact SPEX SamplePrep for further details. |
