ξ Is there little gas remaining in the CO2 gas cylinder?

 

ξ Is the secondary pressure for the CO2 gas pressure regulator at the

 

specified value of 0.03 MPaG (0.3 kgf/cm2G)?

 

ξ Is the CO2 gas supply pipe blocked?

 

 

CO2 gas is not being injected.

ξ The CO2 control method for the Incubator is the ON-OFF method.

 

CO2 gas is intermittently injected as the gas concentration in the
