Overview

Inert’s Argon-20 quad column Gas Management Systems is equipped with four high-capacity purification columns, 0-185 CFM variable speed blower and 3-inch diameter gas loop for increased flow rate of inert gas. This Gas Management System is perfect for high throughput or large enclosures that require a < 1ppm O2 and H2O inert atmosphere.

Regenerable Purifying Column: Single purifier column containing oxygen and moisture removing materials. When the purifier material becomes saturated it must be regenerated. During regeneration the enclosure is isolated form the purifier so no oxygen and moisture removal occurs.
Dual Regenerable Purifying Column: Dual purifier design. One purifier column is removing oxygen and moisture from the atmosphere whilst the second purifier column is being regenerated.
Quad Regenerable Purifying Column: 2 pairs of purifier columns. Each pair of columns is removing oxygen and moisture whilst the other pair is being regenerated.
Large Capacity Solvent Removal: Contains activated carbon. Carbon must be replaced when saturated.
Regenerable Large Capacity Solvent Removal: Contains Molecular Sieve. Solvent trapped in the sieve can be removed by the regeneration process.
