    【Hot attention from Chemical Machinery and Equipment Network ] Entering winter, the temperature is greatly reduced, and people often wear thick coats and hats to keep warm to prevent sickness and colds.
    In fact, just like people are afraid of the cold, in the low temperature season, the equipment of the pharmaceutical laboratory also needs to be insulated and anti-freeze measures to ensure the stable operation of the equipment.
    So, what are the antifreeze measures for laboratory equipment in winter?
     
    Hot attention of Chemical Machinery Equipment NetworkChemical machinery and equipment
    First, in terms of temperature, it is necessary to ensure that the working environment temperature is above zero to improve the laboratory heating; when heating the laboratory with radiators, pay attention to that the sealed barrel should not be close to the heat source, so as to avoid excessive thermal expansion and softening deformation caused by high temperature.
    In addition, although the temperature does not have a very large impact on the experimental instrument, if it is an instrument equipped with a gearbox, it should be noted that the temperature should not be too low.

     

    "For example, the winter in the north is very cold, and the temperature in the working room will be very low.
    In this case, the transmission fluid may become viscous and fluidity will become poor, resulting in a situation where the rotation is not smooth.
    So we need to do this at this time.
    Ensure that the temperature in the working room reaches the standard low temperature.
    " Some equipment manufacturers said.

     

    Second, wipe off the lubricating oil.
    In the low temperature season, the exposed metal parts of the instrument should be properly wiped with lubricant.
    In addition, some instruments need water to complete the experiment, such as the glass bottle thermal shock tester.
    After the experiment is completed, you should pay attention to emptying the water and wipe off the water stains.
    If you do not use it for a long time, you need to wipe the lubricating oil.

     

      Third, flexible useInsulation material , that is, use the insulation material to wrap the part of the meter that is easy to freeze or afraid of freezing.
    When winter comes, timely inspection and frequent sewage discharge are required to prevent damage to the packaging insulation material, which will hinder the insulation work of the equipment.

     
    Insulation Materials
      Fourth, heat tracing measures.
    The steam tracing measure is the use of pipe steam heating for heat preservation.
    It is recommended by the industry to check whether the steam insulation pipeline is unblocked or blocked before the steam insulation in winter.

     

      In addition to steam tracing measures, electric heating belt measures are also a heat preservation method.
    It is understood that the electric heat tracing insulation technology is a new type of heating technology that directly converts electrical energy into thermal energy.
    Install thermal insulation cables, wind the heating cable around the instrument, or stick it inside the instrument cabinet.
    But it should be noted that the length of the heating cable used should be economical and moderate.

     

      Fifth, pay attention to maintenance.
    Long-term operation of any equipment requires regular maintenance.
    So in winter, what are the maintenance measures for laboratory equipment?
     

      The above-mentioned manufacturer’s technicians pointed out four aspects: installation measures, appropriate installation locations should be selected reasonably, such as a dry place without rain and snow drips; check measures, if possible, a dedicated person should check whether the insulation material is damaged or steam pipes every day.
    Whether the road is blocked or not, perform technical confirmation and technical disposal; alarm measures, if possible, install a small sound and light alarm device for steam leakage or power failure to facilitate the discovery and timely repair of hidden dangers in insulation and antifreeze measures; inspection measures, by The person in charge of regional instrument maintenance shall conduct regular inspections according to the scheduled inspection route.
    During the inspection, check whether the insulation pipeline valve is normal, whether the incubator is normal, whether the drainage device is normal, whether the insulation material packaging is intact, whether the electric heating power supply components are normal, etc.

     

      In general, it is very important to understand the warmth and antifreeze measures of laboratory equipment.
    Users can only ensure that the equipment will not "catch a cold" and maintain normal and stable operation under low temperature in winter.
