Title:
FREEZE-DRYING APPARATUS AND FREEZE-DRYING METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2022/175999
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A control unit (21) performs: a gas discharge mitigation treatment, in which a transient response state of a pressure is switched to a low-speed gas discharge treatment to discharge a gas dissolved in a liquid material (M) from the liquid material (M), and in which the temperature of a liquid surface in the liquid material (M) becomes the lowest; a gas discharge enhancement treatment, in which subsequently the low-speed gas discharge treatment is switched to a high-speed gas discharge treatment to adjust the pressure in a container (C) to a pressure of a gas-phase region in a medium and the liquid surface is further cooled to generate ice nuclei in the liquid surface; and a boiling inhibition treatment, in which subsequently the pressure in the container is adjusted to a triple point of the medium or higher to inhibit the generation and growth of bubble nuclei.
