Gas Dosing Controller with humidity measurement

Controls the inlet of gas into the SICCO Glove Box to reduce gas consumption. The control of gas supply is determined by the relative humidity inside the glove box, the relative humidity is monitored by a sensor which has to be led into the glove box by using a cable lead-in. When the required residual humidity is reached, the gas supply will be stopped. In case of a deviation larger than 1 % from the adjusted value, the pass opens and gas is led into the glove box again.

The set consists of a gas dosing controller, a sensor cable, a tubing for connecting the flow meter with the measuring instrument and a power cable. Electrical power connection 230 V / 50 Hz as well as two free cable lead-ins, one for gas supply and one for the sensor, are required.

• Gas Flow Meter 2-10 L/min.
• Length of sensor cable 1.2 m
• Weight: 1800 g

Cleaning of the desiccators

For dusting and general cleaning with a soft cloth should be used such as sponge cloths. Floor cloths and scrubbing sponges, microfiber cloths, scouring powder and solvent-based cleaner are not recommended. These can scratch or dull the plates. Fingerprints can be cleaned with a commercial glass cleaner.

Since the acrylic glass panes of the desiccators can be statically charged then can is attract dus from the ambient air, an antistatic cleaner may be used to minimize this effect.

In addition to the magnetic lock washers and the door seals should also regularly be cleaned door and checked for damage. This allows you to ensure that your desiccator is always sealed.
