• Check refrigerant charge

• Check compressor oil level

• Check system operating pressures

• Check CPR pressure setting

• Check capillary tubes do not rub

• Verify no oil traces are present

• Verify no leaks are present

• Clean the condenser coils if needed

• Measure compressor voltage/amps

• Measure crankcase heater voltage/amps

• Measure condenser fan voltage/amps

• Check for any abnormal noise or vibration

Control Panel Check-out:

• Verify there are no loose wires

• Measure voltage/amps for all motors

• Measure voltage/amps for all heaters

• Verify all alarms function properly

• Verify the window heaters are operational

• Verify the door heaters are operational

• Verify the chamber ceiling lights and light switch are operational

Desiccant Dryer Check-out:

• Verify no Fault indications exist on front panel and that no lights are burned out

• Check for any leaks or signs of corrosion

We work hard so you don’t have to…

“We needed a technical solution for our photostability chamber when the lights didn’t go on. So we called Calvex and they got the lights on and calibrated too! For electronics experts, heating and cooling specialists, mastery of test equipment, and compliance with GMP documentation, Calvex is second to none in their expertise and delivery. Calvex is on time, every time, even in rush situations. I can highly recommend Calvex for all your qualification and validation needs.”
