Re: [AMMRL] Maximum room temperature for running NMR

If you have a large tote of dry ice you could try blowing a fan over it and see if that makes a difference.  Or you could vent a liquid nitrogen tank.  Just make sure you have an oxygen sensor in the room.  Our lab used to be very warm in the mornings so I would always open all the doors to air it out in the morning.  I agree with Clemens about the humidity.   One time in my former life I gave an invited talk at the university of Rome.   They took me to see their MRI machines and it was rainy and muggy and they had the windows wide open.  I don’t think they even had air conditioning.   It was an interesting experience.

Cheers,

Hi Karl

our site specs define an upper limit of 25C (77 F). I do not think components will die if you are a little bit above this temperature.
What you have to be concerned with is humidity. There are parts of the spectrometer such as the heat sinks on the nitrogen stacks that are colder.

Humidity will condense on these surfaces.

If you have a cryoprobe or prodigy that body of the probe is also a bit colder and you might see the surface get wet.

Clemens
