  • the sound pressure level for the inventive centrifuge 1 at 1 m distance using ASR at 4000 rpm was 65.3 dB
  • the sound pressure level using the comparative centrifuge under the same conditions was 67.9 dB.
  • Oil testing in turn compared wear by determining metal contents. It was found that there is no increased wear due to the increased compressor pressure in the centrifuge 1 according to the invention compared to an oil reference sample (Idemitsu oil of the type DAPHNE PZ68S) as a new product, since there were no higher metal contents with comparable run times of about 100 h.
  • oil reference sample Idemitsu oil of the type DAPHNE PZ68S
  • centrifuge 1 which has a higher efficiency in terms of cooling capacity than comparable centrifuges. This is associated with virtually no or only a slightly higher power consumption. In addition, the space of the centrifuge 1 according to the invention over comparable centrifuges is not increased.
