Total System Care

Total System Care’s field services include maintenance, health checks, and training services available during a service visit. You benefit from being able to focus your resources on your work, while we ensure your system’s longevity and optimal operation.

Besides periodically provided field services, repairs can also be included in Total System Care, where any repair work needed to resolve unexpected issues is covered by the service agreement.

With periodic maintenance, we take responsibility for the ongoing core maintenance of your dilution refrigerator measurement systems. Periodic maintenance is carried out on systems during an annual service visit. This is performed in accordance with the periodic maintenance plan outlined in the user manual of the system. The system maintenance program and planning are managed by the Bluefors technical support team. Essential parts (as outlined in the periodic maintenance plan) are included in the service.

Repair work can be included in a Total System Care package to cover any unexpected issues with your systems. The feature includes the on-site work, replacement products, and travel costs for planned repairs. It also includes a system cooldown test to base temperature .

This service consists of a visual inspection of the system, and an analysis of its mechanical, operational, and electrical health. During the health check, our engineer performs a cooldown and warm-up cycle on the system while logging system performance.

The system performance logs are then analyzed by our experts to assess potential future failures, and to optimize system performance. We provide recommendations based on the measurements conducted to improve performance and longevity.

The system health check ensures that your system functions at optimal performance levels, maximizing system uptime, and ensuring that system lifetime is not affected by unforeseen issues.
