Chamber
Each chamber is made up of an anodized aluminum housing and a filtering cartridge. There are two gen-
eral types of filtering cartridges, drying or purifying. The cartridge type is determined by the ingredients
packed in the cartridge. The chamber is named after the type of cartridge it contains, i.e. dryer chamber or
purification chamber.

Cartridge
The cartridge casing, top and bottom are aluminum and are packed
with one or more of the following.
1. Molecular sieve to absorb oil and water.
2. Activated carbon which absorbs oil vapors effecting taste and
odor.
3. A catalyst to convert carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide.
4. A sensor for the Securus Electronic Moisture Monitor System.

Cartridge Handling

to its actual use. The highly sensitive filter materials will absorb
moisture from the atmosphere becoming saturated and useless.
2. Used cartridges must be disposed of in accordance with local
regulations.
