The Zero Air generator range uses new catalyst technology to produce hydrocarbon-free air at a purity of less than 0.1 ppm. Models available from 1 to 80 lpm. Features 3-minute start-up time and low power consumption. Ideal for gas chromatography and emissions analyzers. Available in bench top and rack mount configurations.
Principle of Operation:
The Zero Air generator is different from any other
currently on the market. It utilizes catalytic conversion
technology that allows the removal of hydrocarbons
within a few minutes of start-up. The process is as
follows: Compressed air (1) is fed into the system through
a filter which removes particulate and bulk moisture via
an autodrain. The air is passed over a low power heater element (2) before coming into contact with the catalytic
convertor (3). At this point any hydrocarbons present are
cracked before reforming into trace levels of carbon
dioxide and moisture. The now hydrocarbon-free air is
passed through a cooler (4) to return the air to ambient
temperature and allow the outlet filter (5) to work
efficiently.
