Re-generable Filter for gas purification is required which maintains <1 ppm O2 and H2O level
capacity. Purification Capacity should be at least 30 L for O2 and 1000 g for Moisture. Purification
loads must not be less than 8Kg (4Kg Copper catalyst & 4Kg Molecular sieve)

Regeneration
Automatic regeneration Sequence with nitrogen N2 or Argon (5-10%) controlled through PLC.

Circulation Unit
Must be fitted with a Brushless blower of minimum 30m3/hour with noise less than 47dB and should
not require chiller or heat exchanger.

Oxygen Analyser
Ranges in ppm: (1-1000 ppm). Electronics: Integrated microprocessor control, selection of ranges,
calibration. Dual display of values – Touch Screen and inline display on the analyser to verification of
values in the touch screen. Data Readings: 2 wire loop powered connection via a 4-20 mA Analog
output. Accuracy: +/- 1 ppm in full range. Repeatability: +/- 1% in full range Resolution: 0.1 ppm in
full range

Moisture Analyser
Capacitive sensor type, Measuring Range: 0 – 1000 ppm, delivered with calibration certificate –
Technology requiring no maintenance with phosphoric acid or similar.

Pressure Regulation

Automatic Pressure regulation without having any dependence on the Vacuum Pump & Foot
Pedal. Pressure regulation required without foot pedal and the vacuum pump will have to be
switched-off when vacuum chamber(s) will not be used (ENERGY SAVING mode).

One Oil based Pressure safety release valve must be present with HEPA filter for automatic
mechanical discharge of exceeded gases in the glove box , must have fast reactive pressure
adjustment, increased comfort in handlings, excess gas discharge should be possible even in case of
power break for safety regulations. Low noise level 49 dB (A) under purification and pressure
regulation. The Glove Box & Purification unit must be from the same manufacturer (Documentary
evidence to be submitted by Manufacturer)

Refrigerator
