Instrument Description cont/…
These filters retain the sample in the tub assembly while assuring a uniform
distribution of air enters the assembly. A filter top cap is clamped on to the
top of the tub by means of a clamp and seals on a silicon “O” ring which also
keeps the sample particles from escaping the tub assembly. The wide range
of tub assemblies which are available are designed to match the variety of
sample types and drying applications.
To facilitate the addition of a sample a side port is provided having a
sealing screw cap. In addition to an inlet temperature probe, which is part of
the thermostat control, a temperature / humidity probe is also available for
the outlet of the tub assembly.
The above dryer can be used as a stand alone unit, with full control of
the flow rate, inlet temperature, and time of drying. The values of the inlet
set temperature, actual inlet temperature, outlet temperature and humidity
and time remaining in the drying cycle can be obtained by directly reading
from the front panel.
