IMPORTANT SUPPLEMENTARY SAFETY INFORMATION
Introduction
Cole-Parmer fluidized baths are safe and effective equipment when installed and operated correctly in
accordance with the user manual. However, if used incorrectly they can pose a safety risk. Antylia Scientific have
designed all models of fluidized baths to protect operators from hazards, but users should pay attention to the
following points.
Caution
1. Please read the Instruction Manual before installation and use.
2. Some Cole-Parmer fluidized baths can heat up to 700°C. High temperatures are dangerous and can cause
serious burns to operators and ignite combustible material.
3. Use care and wear protective gloves to protect hands and protective glasses to protect eyes.
4. Do not put hot objects on or near combustible objects.
5. Do not operate the unit close to inflammable liquids or gases.
6. Do not place any liquid directly in the unit.
7. Always ensure a suitable, adequate ventilation system is used when equipment is in use.
8. Always install fireproof metal ducting with sufficient airflow where applicable.
Maintenance
1. When performing maintenance, always disconnect from power supply and cool below 50°C.
2. Antylia Scientific recommend regular cleaning of fluidized baths. Externally, wipe with a damp soapy cloth.
No abrasive cleaners should be used. Care should be taken to prevent any water entering the unit.
3. Regular internal and external inspection of extraction ducting is recommended to detect any damage and
ensure the internals are clean. Any build-up of particles or debris discovered in the extraction ducting
requires the ducting to be cleaned or replaced.
4. In fluidized baths used for polymer burn-off, please regularly inspect fluidizing medium, remove any foreign
debris and replace with clean fluidizing medium as required.
5. Never top-up a hot fluidized bath with cold fluidizing medium. Always cool below 50°C first.
Please note:
1. Please ensure an adequate risk assessment is performed before use of a fluidized bath.
2. Please ensure the appropriate temperature is used for the application, always stay safely below the
combustion temperature of any material or sample in a fluidized bath.
3. Fluidizing airflow must be switched on before heating a fluidized bath and left operational until the bath
cools to below 50°C unless performing dead-bed calibration function.
4. Do not overfill fluidizing media. When fluidized, the aluminium oxide level should be approximately 150mm
(6”) from the top surface of the bath at your maximum operating temperature.
5. In fluidized baths used for polymer burn-off, always remove excess polymer from sample.
6. In applications where materials being treated produce acidic vapours during thermal decomposition, it is
recommended a fume scrubber is utilised to ensure fume emission from the plant conforms to local
regulations.
7. If you have any questions, please contact [e-mail].

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Cole-Parmer FSB-200-P-AC employs the principle of fluidization of a mass of finely divided particles (alumina)
to provide a safe, essentially isothermal environment with a high rate of heat transfer. The FSB-200-P-AC is
specially designed to allow the operating temperature of the fluidized bath to be adjusted from a remote source
while the bath is unsupervised. An automatic fluidizing air control system is fitted which adjusts the air flow rate
accordingly to suit the set temperature of the bath. This automatic air feature is controlled by a control system
which switches five solenoid valves. These valves are opened and closed in various combinations, providing
eighteen air flow rates corresponding to eighteen different temperatures throughout the operating range.
To achieve a state of fluidization, a gas stream is forced to pass vertically through the bed of fine powder;
chromatographic alumina (a specially refined grade of aluminium oxide) is the fluidizing medium used in the FSB-
200-P-AC. At and above a certain critical value of flow rate, the particles become separated from each other and
the whole mass behaves like a liquid. In this state, the powder will flow and move as though it were a liquid; low
density objects will float on it, while more dense ones will sink; more importantly though, the individual alumina
particles will circulate within the bath giving an essentially uniform temperature distribution throughout the
working volume of the bath and a high degree of thermal coupling between the heat source and load.
In addition, the mass of fluidized powder changes its basic characteristics very little over a wide temperature
range, has no freezing point and no practical boiling point and therefore by suitable choice of fluidizing media,
the principle of fluidization can be used to temperatures over 1700°C and below -120°C.
The most commonly used fluidizing gas is compressed air. It is important that it should be clean, dry, free from
oil and at a constant pressure. Antylia Scientific can supply a filter/regulator assembly (part code F5915) for
compressed air which does not comply with the above requirement. Antylia Scientific are alternatively able to
offer a suitable free-standing air compressor complete with the necessary filtration system (part code F120D) for
installations where a compressed air supply is not available. Any other inert gas, such as nitrogen, could be used
for special applications provided appropriate precautions are taken. The FSB-200-P-AC specification applies only
when compressed air is used.
APPLICATION
The characteristics of the FSB-200-P-AC in terms of thermal uniformity and heat transfer make it a useful tool in
the calibration and testing of a very wide range of temperature sensors; however, the unit is applicable to many
other processes, such as thermal testing of sensitive components e.g. semiconductor devices, wire products,
delicate transducers - and can be used as a constant temperature environment for chemical reactions.
Because the fluidized bed is composed of a fine dry powder, it does not display the surface tension effects of
liquid baths and does not wet any objects immersed in it. The basic electrical insulating property of the alumina
used in the FSB-200-P-AC is not affected by fluidization, making it possible to conduct electrical measurements
on immersed objects such as assembled printed circuit boards.
Note: Avoid siting the FSB-200-P-AC in a laboratory environment which contains instruments that are sensitive
to dust. Although the fluidized bath has its own dust extraction system, a small amount of fine dust may still be
emitted during operation.

WARNING
Poor fluidization causes hot spots, heater failure and damage to other parts. Follow this Instruction Manual
carefully. For correct fluidization, pay attention to the following:
INSTALLATION
•Ensure the bath is level and air supply is adequate.
OPERATION
•Adjust air valve for even fluidization.
•Do not insert objects larger than recommended.
•Ensure objects do not lie in contact with container wall or porous plate. Sample buckets and probe holders
are available.
MAINTENANCE
•Regularly inspect and maintain the air filter to eliminate oil vapour in the air supply.
ALUMINA
•Before handling the alumina, consult the MSDS for safe handling. Contact [e-mail] if
you require a copy.
•The principle risk isrelated to the concentration of dustin theair acting as a nuisance dust.
•Alumina isnon-hazardous but dust may irritate the eyes and the respiratory system and cause skin irritation.
•Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dustisformed.
•For storage: protect from moisture. Avoid dust formation. Keep container tightly closed. Store ina well-
ventilated place. Guard against dust accumulation ofthis material.
•Wear correct PPE whilst handling the Alumina material. Wear safety glasses with side shields, appropriate
chemical resistant gloves and suitable protective clothing.
•Should the fluidized bath be stored for a long period under damp or humid conditions, moisture may be
absorbed by the alumina which is hydroscopic. Toavoid violent fluidization which occurs when damp
alumina isheated above 100°C, operate the bath for a period of approximately 8hours at 90°C prior to
operation atelevated temperatures.
•NEVER ADD COLD OR DAMP ALUMINA TO A HOT BATH ASTHIS WILLALSO CAUSE VIOLENT FLUIDIZATION
WHICH CAN BE DANGEROUS. Allow the bath to cool then add the fresh alumina. Ifthis fresh alumina is
a large portion of the charge, then dry the whole charge asabove.
FUME EXTRACTION
•When used for processing items which may emit toxic or inflammable fumes, it is essential that an adequate
fume extraction system be installed. The extraction system must be correctly sized to ensure that any toxic
fumes are removed from the working environment. To eliminate the risk of spontaneous ignition, the
concentration of inflammable fumes above the bath and within the exhaust duct work must be kept below
the lower explosive limit.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Figure 1: Schematic of the FSB-200-P-AC
Control for temperature and a flow meter are mounted on a recessed panel on the front of the unit together
with on-off switches for the power supply and the dust extraction system. The inner container is well insulated
and the outer case is vented so that it remains safe and cool to the touch even when the bath is operating at its
maximum temperature. The inner container is filled from the top with alumina. When fluidized, the alumina is
heated by the four immersion heaters close to the inner container outer wall with the control thermocouple
giving excellent temperature control.
The heater elements are protected from excessive surface temperatures by a pressure switch operated by the
fluidized air and the power supply is removed if the air supply to the unit is disrupted. The unit also has an over-
temperature cut-out fitted to protect the heater element in the event of an over temperature fault (limit set to
730°C).
Air supplied to the unit passes through two filters to remove oil and moisture from the system. A pressure
regulator is also fitted to set the correct pressure for the cyclone extraction system and for optimum fluidization.
An automatic fluidizing air control system is fitted which adjusts the air flow rate accordingly to suit the set
temperature of the bath. The fluidized air passes through a flow meter then to a plenum chamber fitted under
the fluidized bath which evenly distributes the fluidized air evenly across the bath inner chamber.
Dust extraction is carried out by ambient air being drawn down (venturi effect) past the probe plate and through
a peripheral slot around the top edge of the inner container. The air then passes through a cyclone to separate
and remove any alumina particles which are collected in a glass collection jar and then passes through the
exhaust filter. Entrained alumina removed by the cyclone and collected in the collection jar, which is accessible
from the front of the unit, can be re-used and simply emptied back into the bath.
This model is specially designed to allow the operating temperature of the fluidized bath to be adjusted from a
remote source while the bath is unsupervised. Basic control programmes are set by the operator allowing for the
control of set temperature, incremental temperature steps, dwell times and control of dead bed state.
Where an ultra-stable temperature condition is required a “dead bed” state can be programmed into the control
system. During this “dead bed” condition the air and electrical supply to the fluidized bed are switched off. For a
period of up to 8 minutes, the fluidized bed becomes an isothermal mass without heat input and very low heat
loss. Under these conditions the stability at the centre of the aluminium oxide is ±0.01°C over the range of the
unit.

DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS AND FRONT PANEL CONTROLS

INSTALLATION
Avoid siting the FSB-200-P-AC in a laboratory environment which contains instruments that are sensitive to dust.
Although the fluidized bath has its own dust extraction system, a small amount of fine dust may still be emitted
during operation.
Numbers in the text refer to Figure 2.
POWER
The FSB-200-P-AC requires a power supply of 230V, 50/60Hz at 3kW; please see section ELECTRICAL
INSTALLATION.
AIR
The FSB-200-P-AC is supplied with integral filters and regulators suitable for a normal clean dry air line supply
between 60 and 125 psi (414 to 862 kPa). If the air supply is excessively dirty Antylia Scientific can supply an
additional external filter/regulator assembly which, if used, must be adjusted to its maximum setting of 60 psi
(414 kPa). The air supply should be connected via suitable flexible hose to the compressed air inlet (14) at the
rear of the left-hand end of the bath.
MECHANICAL
The unit should be mounted on a firm level surface. Normal operation only requires access to the front of the
unit but periodic maintenance and servicing requires access to the left-hand side also; this should be borne in
mind when positioning the unit initially. A spirit level (12) is built into the frame at the base of the front panel;
this should be accurately levelled by adjusting the four corner feet (13). After final adjustment, all four feet should
be firmly grounded and the unit should be level. Failure to do this can impair the operation of the unit. The
surface should also be heat resistant.
ALUMINA
Turn on the dust extraction system (7) during filling to minimise the amount of dust given off. Fill the bath
chamber (1) with sufficient of the alumina so that it is approximately 200mm (8") below the top cover of the unit
before it is fluidized. Note that the alumina does exhibit expansion with fluidization and heat so you will need to
verify the level at your maximum operating temperature. When fluidized, the alumina level should be
approximately 150mm (6”) from the top surface of the bath at your maximum operating temperature. As shown
in Figure 3, the alumina is at the correct level when you just see the tops of the heaters.
Figure 3: Fluidized alumina at the correct operating level
When correctly fluidized, the surface of the alumina should be flowing with the motion like violently boiling
cream.
