| '''Question:''' Is it possible to use the oxygraph with a chamber temperature of 0 °C?
| |
|
| |
| ##Our system is specified down to 4 °C at 25 deg room temperature and down to 2 °C at "lower ambient temperature", see
| |
| [http://www.oroboros.at/index.php?id=o2k-specifications| specifications].##
| |
| A room with lower temperature of the air does not necessarily mean to be a "cool room". For the 2 deg, an acclimatised room is commonly enough.
| |
| Even though we can only guarantee the working of the instrument within these limits entirely, it is still possible to go to 0°C. This requires a "cool room" though. For this purpose the main unit itself can be exposed to temperatures down to just above 0°C (all the electronic components are rated at least down to 0°C but obviously 0°C room temperature has to be avoided due to condensation concerns). Also of course for very low room temperatures above 0 deg humidity has to be controlled somehow.
| |
| We did a quick test today and could reach 0°C chamber temperature quite easily at a room temperature of about 14 °C. To keep this temperature stable the cooling power of the Peltier element was already working at 95% of maximum, so some kind of cool room will probable be necessary.

| '''Update for O2k Series E:'''
| |
| Because Series E Oxygraphs have a more efficient temperature management system the experiment described above was repeated with a Series E O2k. In this case it was not necessary to reduce the room temperature. [[User:Fasching Mario|Fasching Mario]] 14:39, 4 February 2013 (CET)

| Details: O2K - 0°C block temp. - stable Peltier power was reached after about 1:05 h from setting block temp. from stable 37°C to 0°C. - stable Peltier power was about -83 %. - room temperature was 21.1°C [[User:Capek Ondrej|Capek Ondrej]] 14:36, 4 February 2013 (CET)
