Nitrogen purge glove boxes allow the user to purge relative humidity or oxygen levels down to ~2%. The enclosures can protect the process by nearly eliminating moisture or oxygen with the flow of inert gas. The safety of the operator and the process is accomplished with HEPA filtration, a one-way check valve, and the ability to connect to a house exhaust system.
The enclosure design follows AGS guidelines. The glove box has 28” depth and 10” oval glove ports which allow for minimized technician arm, wrist, and shoulder fatigue while maintaining a controlled environment.
The nitrogen metering system (FS1500) is designed to conserve nitrogen. It features trending graphs that display RH%, O2, and temperature. There are two adjustable flow rates one for high flow purge and the other for low flow to maintain. The nitrogen saving auto shut off activates when the set point of RH% or O2 is reached. Audio and visual alarms trigger when outside the set point range. Flow Sciences
