Freeze Drying Process
The working principle of a large pharmaceutical freeze dryer is based on the three state changes of water. Firstly, freeze the dried item below the triple point in a low-temperature environment, so that the moisture in the item changes from liquid to solid (ice). Then, under vacuum conditions, the solid water (ice) is directly sublimated into water vapor by heating, thereby being removed from the item and achieving the purpose of drying. Throughout the process, the vacuum system establishes low-pressure conditions for the sublimation drying chamber, the heating system provides sublimation latent heat to the material, and the refrigeration system provides the required cooling capacity to the cold trap and drying chamber.
performance parameter
Capacity and size
Large pharmaceutical freeze-drying machines typically have a larger capacity to meet the needs of large-scale production. The drying chamber capacity may range from tens to hundreds of liters, and the freeze-drying area is correspondingly large to meet the production needs of different scales.
Temperature range and accuracy
The equipment has a wide temperature range and can adapt to the drying needs of different substances. The minimum temperature can usually reach -80 ℃ or lower to meet the drying requirements for low-temperature sensitive substances. At the same time, the equipment has an accurate temperature control system to ensure the accuracy and stability of temperature during the drying process.
Vacuum degree and vacuum pump
Large pharmaceutical freeze-drying machines are usually equipped with high-performance vacuum pumps to establish low-pressure conditions and promote water sublimation. The vacuum degree can usually reach a higher level, such as 15PA or lower, to improve drying efficiency.
Heating power and method
The equipment has sufficient heating power to meet the heat demand during the drying process. Common heating methods include electric heating and steam heating to ensure sufficient heat is provided during the drying process.
Control system
Large pharmaceutical freeze-drying machines are usually equipped with advanced control systems, such as PLC control systems or touch screen control systems. These systems have the characteristics of easy operation, rich functionality, and stable performance, which can achieve precise control of the drying process.
Operational principle
◆ The amount of water vapor in compressed air is determined by the temperature of the compressed air: while keeping the compressed air pressure basically unchanged, reducing the temperature of the compressed air can reduce the water vapor content in the compressed air, and excess water vapor will condense into liquid. A freeze dryer uses this principle to dry compressed air using refrigeration technology. Therefore, the refrigerated dryer has a refrigeration system. Front view of the principle of Gree freeze-drying machine.
◆ The refrigeration system of a freeze dryer belongs to compression refrigeration, consisting of four basic components: a refrigeration compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, and an expansion valve. They are connected by pipelines to form a closed system, where the refrigerant continuously circulates and changes state, exchanging heat with compressed air and cooling media.
◆ The refrigeration compressor sucks the low-pressure (low-temperature) refrigerant inside the evaporator into the compressor cylinder, and the refrigerant vapor is compressed, causing both pressure and temperature to increase simultaneously; High pressure and high temperature refrigerant vapor is compressed into the condenser, where the higher temperature refrigerant vapor exchanges heat with cooler water or air. The heat of the refrigerant is carried away by water or air and condensed, resulting in the refrigerant vapor becoming a liquid. This part of the liquid is then transported to the expansion valve, which restrains it into a low-temperature and low-pressure liquid and enters the evaporator; The low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant liquid in the evaporator absorbs the heat of compressed air and vaporizes (commonly known as "evaporation"), while the compressed air condenses a large amount of liquid water after being cooled; The refrigerant vapor in the evaporator is then sucked away by the compressor, which completes a cycle of compression, condensation, throttling, and evaporation in the system.
◆ In the refrigeration system of a freeze-drying machine, the evaporator is a device for conveying cold energy, in which the refrigerant absorbs the heat of compressed air to achieve the purpose of dehydration and drying. The compressor is the heart, playing the role of inhaling, compressing, and delivering refrigerant vapor. A condenser is a device that releases heat, transferring the heat absorbed in the evaporator along with the heat converted from the input power of the compressor to the cooling medium (such as water or air) for removal. The expansion valve/throttle valve has a throttling and pressure reducing effect on the refrigerant, while controlling and regulating the amount of refrigerant liquid flowing into the evaporator, and dividing the system into two main parts: the high-pressure side and the low-pressure side.
Structural characteristics
Large pharmaceutical freeze dryer typically use stainless steel materials to ensure equipment corrosion resistance and hygiene standards. Its structural characteristics mainly include the following aspects:
Intelligent control
The device is equipped with an intelligent control system that can automatically manage the entire freeze-drying process, ensuring ideal vacuum pressure and drying temperature, thereby maintaining the freshness and activity of materials.
Large capacity design
The equipment has a large tray space and can handle large amounts of materials simultaneously, improving production efficiency.
Efficient refrigeration
Advanced refrigeration technology is adopted to ensure that the equipment reaches the required low-temperature environment in a short period of time.

Check the shut-off valve and pressure gauge
Check stop valve
Visual inspection
Ensure that all stop valves (such as compressor suction and exhaust valves, liquid supply valves, hand valves, etc.) are properly opened or closed.
Observe valve body for cracks, leaks, or signs of corrosion.
Operation check
Manually operate each stop valve to ensure smooth opening and closing.
Check that the stem and handle are secure and not loose or damaged.
Reading check
For a globe valve with a reading gauge, check that the reading is normal and compare it with the specifications in the equipment operating manual.
Check the pressure gauge




Calibration check:
Before using the pressure gauge, make sure it has been calibrated and is within its validity period. Calibration can be handed over to a professional instrument testing organization.
Reading check:
Observe the pointer position of the pressure gauge to ensure that the indicated pressure value is within the normal range specified in the equipment operating manual.
Note whether the pressure gauge has abnormal fluctuations or the pointer is stuck.
Appearance inspection:
Check that the dial of the pressure gauge is clear and free of scratches or dirt.
Make sure the connection of the pressure gauge is not loose or leaking.
System pressure corresponding check:
Based on the rated pressure of the dryer pressure gauge system, check whether the gauge pointer is within the normal range.
If the indicator is too low or too high, you need to further check whether the device has faults, such as the compressor output pressure, oil pressure regulating valve setting, and refrigerant type.

If the power supply is unstable, you may need to install a voltage regulator or take other measures to improve the quality of the power supply.

Electrical component inspection
Fuse and circuit breaker inspection
Check that fuses and circuit breakers are intact and that there are no signs of blowouts or trips.
If a blown fuse or circuit breaker trip is found, the cause should be identified and the damaged component replaced.

Check whether the set value of the controller is correct and adjust it as required.
If the controller is found to display abnormal or set incorrect values, the cause should be identified and repaired or replaced.
2) Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) check:
If the equipment is equipped with a PLC, it should be checked that its operating status and procedures are correct.
Ensure that the input and output signals of the PLC are normal, without misoperation or failure.
