The AtmosPure™ Re-gen gas purifier produces an ultrapure inert atmosphere for materials sensitive to moisture and/or oxygen by circulating an inert gas and removing oxygen and moisture inside the box. Compatible with any Protector® or Precise® controlled atmosphere glove box, the AtmosPure™ allows these glove boxes to meet or exceed ISO 10648-2 test methods. The purifier has the capacity to remove up to five liters of oxygen (13.5 ppm) and 660 g of moisture (18 million ppm) at standard temperature and pressure (STP). Depending on the application, glove box liner material and frequency of use, regeneration may be necessary only once every one to three months and completed in only 13 hr
- Automatic regeneration process may be completed in as little as 13 hours and while unattended
- Cylinder contains 5 lb of copper catalyst capable of removing up to 5 L of oxygen (135000 ppm) and 5 lb of molecular sieve capable of removing 660 g of moisture (18 million ppm) with normal oxygen and moisture permeation rates 0.3 ppm/min or lower
- Fully factory-regenerated cylinder is ready to use; isolation valves arrive closed to maintain molecular sieve and copper catalyst capacity
- From a 1000 ppm starting condition, able to reduce oxygen to 1 ppm in less than 2 hours
- From a 1000 ppm starting condition, able to reduce moisture below 15 ppm in 2 hours, below 10 ppm in 6 hours, below 5 ppm in 16 hours, below 2 to 3 ppm in 2 days and as low as 1 ppm in 3 to 6 days
- System automatically compensates for power outages and starts the regeneration process over if interrupted for 10 min or longer, this feature ensures complete regeneration of the copper catalyst and molecular sieve since proper regeneration cannot occur if the system has cooled
- Factory leak-tested with a mass spectrometer while pressurized with helium at 5" of water gauge; no detectable leaks greater than 1 x 10-6 ml/sec
- Internal stainless steel gas purification lines have oxygen and moisture permeation below 0.1 ppm/min
- Vacuum pump outlet is rated at 115 V, 6 A or 230 V, 4.5 A
- Three microprocessor-controlled solenoid valves, located on the back, for connection to 4% hydrogen/inert gas mixture, vacuum pump and vent exhaust
- Flow control valve sets 4% hydrogen between 10 to 25 CFH
- Start/Stop button initiates and ends the 13 hour regeneration process
- Regeneration heater delivers 180 w for 5 hours of the 13 hours regeneration cycle
- 0.75" Inlet/outlet compression fittings for connection to Protector fiberglass or stainless steel controlled atmosphere glove boxes; accessory 0.375" adapter is available for connection to a Precise controlled atmosphere glove boxes or other glove box models
- ETL, CAN/CSA, UL Certified
