Description
The Chemtron Gas Whisper-0 Hybrid Nitrogen + Air can produce up to 120 L/min of high purity LC/MS grade nitrogen at pressures up to 8 barg (116 psig). This generator are engineered to transform standard compressed air into a safe regulated nitrogen and high purity air supply with minimal operator attention and maintenance. Nitrogen is produced by utilizing a combination of filtration and membrane separation technologies. There is a standard supply of compressed air that is filtered by high efficiency coalescing filters to remove all contaminants down to 0.1 micron. A unique proprietary membrane then separates the air into a concentrated nitrogen stream. Air is purified using a unique air purification membrane removing contamination and water.
Membrane technology offers some unique performance benefits for LC/MS users including phthalate free nitrogen, silent operation, no moving parts and no electrical requirements. The generator can be installed directly in the laboratory either floor or walled mounted and requires minimal operator attention or maintenance. This generator is designed to run continuously providing a clean, dry high purity nitrogen supply.
Membrane separation technique:
Compressed air is forced through a hollow fiber membrane, with selective permeation of the different components – nitrogen, oxygen, CO2, water vapor and traces of rare gases – depending on the rate of diffusion. A quantity of incoming air, after a 3-step filtering procedure, is dried through a fiber membrane column. The customer has also a source of dried filtered air in case of analysis that requires it.
