3. Vertrel ® - Equipment Design Key Equipment Enhancements for Open Top Systems (vs. typical CFC-113 and HCFC-141b equipment) Increased Freeboard height (recommended ratio = 1.8) Optimized cooling coil system (DuPont’s Triple Guard ® ) Robot vs. manual handling (maximum vertical speed = 0.01 m/s, and maximum horizontal speed = 0.03 m/s). Sliding lid, to avoid any piston effect Superheating chamber (10-15 ºC above boiling point) Optimized equipment design impacts the solvent consumption, NOT the cleaning and drying performance!
