1.2 Biological Risk

Most of safety problems related to appliance maintenance are due to human errors caused by
tiredness, lack of attention, negligence, incompetence, and more frequently than you might think,
as a consequence of extreme “familiarity” with biological risk; attitudes which bring to
underestimate the risk of exposure to pathogens.
It is not possible to carry out effective techniques of biological risk containment without taking into
account previous attitude of final user. Any prevention and biological risk containment program
has to be based on correct information and training aimed to make all people concerned adopt
ways of acting so that risk of autocontamination and contamination of working area is reduced to
the minimum.

Potential exposed people directly or no directly concerned in lab activities are usually
researchers, lab technicians, but also cleaning staff, maintenance personnel, no-technical
personnel (employees, storekeepers, drivers, caretakers, etc.), occasional visitors (agents,
visitors, etc.) and, in case of accidents or disasters, rescue service (firemen, stretcher-bearers,
doctors, policemen, civil defence, etc.).

Technical, organisational and procedural measures for biological risk containment, according to
Art. 79 of D.L. 626/94, must include:
• Evaluation of the danger level and quantity of biological material handled,
• A careful planning of working process to reduce or avoid the use of harmful pathogens and to
reduce the number of exposed people,
• The choice of technical measures of protection, collective and individual, as well as hygienic
ones to prevent an accidental spreading of biological agents out of working place,
• Arrangement of suitable procedures and systems for conservation, handling, collecting, and
transporting inside and outside working place, safe discharge of biological material used and
periodic check of an eventual presence of pathogens inside working place.

To satisfy partly requirements mentioned before, Thermo established a Declaration of

Decontamination, which must be filled in by final user before sending the centrifuge to a
Technical Assistance Centre. The principle that inspires this declaration is awareness that user
only knows what has been put into the centrifuge, and who handles these substances only is able
to choose and use suitable product for decontamination.

Obviously, this assumption of responsibility by final user does not relieve maintenance personnel
of adopting protection measures against residual risk eventually occurring when handling a
product that conditions of use are unknown. Anyway, residual risk can be further reduced by
means of Individual Protection Devices: gloves (lattice made, not yet used), masks, safe
glasses.

2 DESCRIPTION AND THEORY OF OPERATION

2.1. DESCRIPTION

The B4i and C3i centrifuges was designed for laboratory use. Through the application of a
Relative Centrifugal Force (RCF) it allows the separation of substances made of different density
elements.
The shape of the rotating equipment is the main loading element: a swing-out rotating equipment
can carrie a higher load than a fixed angle or aerodynamical equipment. The larger the diameter
of a rotor, with accessories, the greater the load, and the maximum r.p.m..
Relative Centrifugal Force (RCF) generated by a rotating equipment is directly proportional to the
sedimentation useful radius and to the speed value square. (For more information see Chapter 4,
Operating Manual).

2.5. Functional principles

The microprocessor system which controls the B4i and C3i ensures the operation of the following
major elements:

• Set operating conditions.

• The control electronics generates a system of sinusoidal 3 phase voltages, variable in
amplitude and frequency.
• Automatical management of acceleration and deceleration shapes.
• Management of the safety devices:
− recognition of rotating equipment and speed restriction
− lid lock;
− zero speed detection;
− imbalance detection;
− motor overtemperature.
• Management of the diagnostic breakdown.

2.6. Management of the induction motor

2.6.1. Introduction

B4i/C3i centrifuges are fitted with an asynchronous 3 phase induction motor.

During centrifugation, the control electronics generates a system of sinusoidal 3 phase voltages,
variable in amplitude and frequency.

During the braking phase, the energy returned by the motor is dissipated through a resistor.

2.6.2. The motor

The motor of the B4i/C3i series comprises a 3 phase

stator and a short-circuited rotor.
The stator (even called inductor or primary) is made by a
magnetic core in the shape of ring: in the internal border
of the ring there are some slots for the windings. This
windings are arranged at 120° electricals; it means that
there are translated with the same angle which
corresponds at the three corrents displacement. When
correctly powered, the stator creates a magnetic field
rotating at the synchronised speed Ns:
F
Ns = 60 •
p
F: supply frequency
P: number of pairs of poles of the motor Fig. 5.

2.6.3. Power control

Three voltages, variable in amplitude and frequency, dephased by 2π/3, must be supplied from a
50 or 60Hz single phase mains supply.
The voltage is rectified then filtered by C to supply the constant voltage +E. The value of the
capacitor C is high.
For a 230 V - 50 Hz mains supply E = 230 √2 = 325 V
C = 470µF / 400 V

For a 120 V - 60 Hz mains supply E = 120 √2 = 170 V

C = 1500µF / 200 V

2.7. Electronics

2.7.1. Overall

Electronic structure is made by two boards: µP+PWR board at 16 bits, and the processing and
control interface, made by a display and a keyboard. The first one is into the body work (see fig.3,
n. Æ), the second one is behind the front panel ( see fig. 3, n.Å).
The centrifuge management program is contained in the “EPROM”; dates are transferred into a
“RAM” memory and they are memorized also when the centrifuge is stopping by a kind of battery
into the same RAM which supply the alimentation.
The load imbalance sensor is on the elastic suspension on the motor (see fig. 3, number Á); it
allows to point out an excess of imbalance produced by a load of the rotating head.

2.7.2. µP+PWR board

3 distinct zones can be identified on this board. Each of the 3 zones has its own power supply
and insulation between the different parts is ensured by the use of opto-couplers. (fig. 9).

Fig. 7.
AREA 1
This zone includes the microprocessor, the EPROM memory with the program, the RAM memory
which includes all the Set temporary data.
The power supply for this zone is 5 VDC.

AREA 2
This zone includes all the Opto coupler which allows to insulate the entrance of microprocessor
by sensors or switch. This insulating is useful to avoid that noises coming from the outside can
compromise of the microprocessor’s operation.

- 11 -
The power supply for this zone is 12 VDC.

- 12 -
AREA 3

ATTENTION : THIS ZONE AT MAINS VOLTAGE!

This zone includes all the power circuit. It is made by:

1. The supply of the power module is 320 VoltDC trough rectifier and filtering of the mains voltage;
2. The optical insulation allows to protect the microprocessor by the Driver;
3. Driver: IGBT circuit control. This module allows to control the couple of power transistors throw
the 3 PWM (Pulse Width Modulating);
4. power module: this is the interface between “logic and motor”;
5. Motor brake driver system.

2.7.3. Load imbalance sensor

As I said before in the introduction, this sensor

able to show the exceed made by the load of
rotating.
The energy possessed by the vibration is
transformed, by a piezoceramic, into an electric
signal.
This signal, after has been conditioned, is
dispatched to the µP for the safety management.
Fig. 8.

2.7.4. Speed sensor

It is made up by a fork-shaped optic sensor, which gates two pulses per revolution.

2.7.5. Temperature probe

At the exit of the conditioning circuit the signal becomes 1.2VCC 0°C ± 80mV/°C.

3 DIAGNOSTICS AND REPAIRS

3.1. Introduction

The centrifuges of B4i/C3i series offer some built-in functional tests which facilitate certain checks
such as for the tacho generator and lid lock solenoid. In addition, they generate certain alarm
codes accompanied by a message on the screen on audible alarm.

3.2. Messages

Switching on the centrifuge, on the TIME display will appear the EPROM RELEASE (ex. A, B,
C…)

On the SPEED display there is the BRAND MODEL.

On the TEMPERATURE display there is the EPROM CODE (centrifuge model) (ex. 10, 11, 12….)
