Terms and abbreviations and their meanings
Cold water. Example: “Load CW / 23L” means: load cold water, 23 litres.
Demineralised water (demi water)
Litres – the amount of water loaded during a phase.
PREWASH,

THERMAL

DRYING
Descriptions of the various types of phases.
The codes indicate the batching of chemical products by peristaltic pump P1, P2 …
Example: “P1 = 117 ml” – amount batched by peristaltic pump P1.
The time for which the phase temperature setpoint is maintained.
If no temperature setpoint is set (indicated as “0°C”), the holding time corresponds to
the total duration of the phase, once water loading has terminated.
If timed heating is set (indicated as “N.D.”), the holding time corresponds to the total
heating time once water loading has terminated.
Identifies the initial instants when the heating elements are turned on. Not all
activations are registered; only those which mark the start of heating.
At the end of the holding time, the min/max temperatures of the holding time are
registered.
Not Defined, used to indicate when no temperature setpoint has been set for the phase
and heating is timed. In this case, “Holding time” identifies the time for which heating is
active.
Conductivity value read by the probe.
Conductivity threshold, as set by the superuser
The conductivity check is positive when K<K_t. The phase continues normally.
K ≥ K_t. All the water in the chamber is drained out and the same amount loaded, so
that a new check can be run.
Notes to aid in understanding the archive
Each phase:
- starts by loading a certain amount of water, indicated in the archive since it is characterised by the type
and amount of water loaded;
- terminates by completely emptying out the water from the chamber. This is not registered as an event in
the archive.
