Cold eutectic plate TOP 130

To solidify the eutectic plate : The solidification of the eutectic solution must take place in an environment where the temperature is 5°C below the melting temperature of the plate. The duration of this phase change, from liquid to solid, depends on the energy input. Nevertheless, we recommend immobilisation in a cold chamber for 24 hours. However, the chamber must meet two fundamental criteria: it must be sufficiently powerful and ventilated to allow the free circulation of cold air around the faces of the eutectic plate. The use of a freezing rack optimises the preparation phase. An air gap of 2cm around the sides of the TOPs encourages convection and therefore the solidification of the plates. => How do I know if my eutectic sheet is ready for use? A eutectic plate that is ready for use, i.e. 100% loaded, must be 100% solid if the outside temperature is higher than the temperature of the products being transported. Without this sine qua none condition, we cannot guarantee that the temperature of the products transported will be maintained. To achieve this, it is necessary to comply with the eutectic plate preparation protocol: 24 hours of preparation in an enclosure where the temperature is at least 5°C below the melting temperature of the eutectic plate. The method of storing the plates during the loading phase is also decisive: 2cm of space between each plate to create corridors for the circulation of cold air.
