Performance Specifications
Table 3-8 lists the performance specifications for the Polycold Cryochiller product family. For additional
information, contact Brooks Automation Polycold Systems.
Notes:
1. Standard conditions for performance testing:
• Cryocoil environment at 25°C
• Recommend cryocoils and line lengths
• Cooling water temperature between 25° and 28°C
• Operation at 60 Hz
2. Larger cryocoils may give greater pumping speeds and can be used in some applications.
Contact your Sales Representative or a Polycold Applications Engineer for details.
3. Standard cryocoil at 25% of maximum pumping speed
4. Recommended cryopump start pressure is near normal crossover. Mechanical roughing pumps
and blowers are generally more effective for moisture above 1 torr.
5. Estimated time depending upon cryocoil mass and refrigerant line.
6. Units were tested in a manufacturing environment while under maximum load in the Cool mode.
7. Operation at 50Hz results in warming of the cryocoil temperatures by 3 to 5°C.
8. Operation of warmer cooling water temperatures results in a reduction of maximum load rating and
warms cryocoil temperatures by about 4°C for a 10°C increase in cooling water temperature.
