Taylor-Wharton CX Series User Manual
Page 2
Refrigeration depends on the presence of cryogenic
nitrogen refrigerant in the refrigerator. Be sure to main-
tain a full charge of refrigerant to prevent loss of stored
materials. Please refer to the “Operations” section of
this document for instructions on the filling procedure. If
you are not able to fully charge the Cryo-Exchange by
weight, it is possible that more moisture has accumu-
lated in the filler material over time with normal usage.
This accumulation will result in the displacement of
refrigerant. Allow the refrigerant to warm to room
temperature. The warming procedure may take as long
as four weeks. Then direct dry heat not to exceed 150°F
(65°C) from hair dryer to other source, into the refrigera-
tor. The unit is acceptably dry when the tare weight is
within 1 lb. (0.45 kg) of the “as received from the
manufacturer” tare weight.
If high evaporation rates are apparent under normal
operating conditions, the dewar may be losing its
vacuum. Sweating and the formation of frost on the
outer casing are indications the refrigerator may be
losing its vacuum. All necessary steps should be taken
to protect the refrigerator’s contents. If these conditions
persist, contact your supplier or Taylor-Wharton’s
Technical Response Team (1-800-TW-TANKS or email
us at
) for information on
how to conduct a normal evaporation rate (NER) test in
the field.
TRANSPORTATION
Although these refrigerators are rugged, they can be
damaged or abused or otherwise mishandled. A
specially designed hard-shell shipping container (refer to
the parts section for ordering information) should be
used anytime the refrigerator is transported. This
container will help prolong the life of the unit and should
be replaced if damaged during use. When moving or
transporting a refrigerator, take every precaution to prevent
sliding, tipping, bumping or dropping the unit. Keep the unit
upright. Although there is no safety hazard if the properly
filled refrigerator is on its side, the refrigerant consumption is
much greater with the unit in this position and holding time
will be significantly reduced.
RETURNS
Manufacturing defects are covered under the containers
limited warranty. Evidence of mishandling, such as dents on
the outer vessel, or misalignment of the inner vessel, are not
manufacturing defects. If you would like to return goods to
Taylor-Wharton for any reason, you must first obtain a
Material Return Authorization (MRA) number for tracking
purposes.
