Purge gas system

Purge gas regulator
The role of the ORBISPHERE 29089 gas regulator is to deliver purge gas filtered at
40 μm. Attach the unit to a suitable bracket, using the M3 threaded holes on the back. It's
position should be vertical ± 5%. The gas flow is indicated by an arrow on the regulator's
body.
Maintenance:
Drain the condensate periodically. Unscrew by hand the drain at the bottom of the bowl.
If filter is contaminated:
• Turn off the gas supply
• Unscrew the bowl by hand
• Unscrew the black disc at the bottom
• Remove the white composite filter
• Wash under clean tap water, blow dry, and install
Purge gas supply
Make sure there is no interruption in the purge gas supply. The use of a backup gas cylinder and an
automatic changeover valve, that activates when the first cylinder is empty, are recommended.
Use a 6 mm flexible (nylon or PVC) or rigid (stainless steel) line to connect the pressure regulator
and thermal conductivity sensor to the purge gas supply. Swagelok connectors (6 mm or 1/4") are
provided.
A short length of plastic tube is supplied for the purge gas to exit the sensor. To insert, push the tube
firmly into the orifice. To remove, push on the ring surrounding the tube, and pull the tube out. For
certain applications such as waste gas, a 3 mm (1/8") Swagelok fitting is provided for the purge gas
exit, to enable safe evacuation of an eventually hazardous gas.
A source of dry and filtered gas (pure at 99.8%) is required with a flow rate set at 10 to 50 mL/min.,
and a pressure regulated at 2 bar gauge. Do not exceed this, since excess pressure will deform the
membrane and change measurements.
To check the flow rate, put the exit tube into a cup of water. With the instrument turned on, you
should see at least three bubbles per second during the purge cycle.
Do not leave the exit tube in water, as there is a risk that moisture will get sucked back into the sensor and
damage it.
Purge safety backup unit
The gas analyzer must be switched on at all times, and purge gas must be
constantly supplied to purge the sensor cell, to prevent damage to the
sensor electronics.
However, in the event of a mains power outage, the 32605 purge backup
unit ensures that the purge gas supply to the TC sensor is not interrupted at
any time. The cycle is slower than usual (around one minute), for
approximately four days.
The green LED is on as long as the battery charge is OK. The red LED is on
when charging is needed. To save batteries, both LEDs are out when the
backup unit is in use, and mains power is out.

In-line temperature sensor

The in-line temperature sensors give the sample temperature directly from the sample flow, as a
replacement for the temperature sensor installed inside the thermal conductivity sensor.
Use of the in-line temperature sensor is recommended when the environment or sample experience
temperature changes. It provides a direct sample temperature measurement to the instrument, that is
not influenced by the ambient temperature.
