Two stages of high efficiency coalescing prefiltration are incorporated into the design of the
Source 5000 to remove water and particulate contamination to 0.01 micron. The generator is
equipped with electronically timed drain valves to automatically discharge any liquids which have
accumulated in the filter bowls. The liquids are collected in the supplied disposal container.
These filters protect the membrane and associated components from contamination which may
foul the operation.
An activated carbon module is located before the zero air module to remove any chlorinated hy-
drocarbon contaminates that may exist in the room air. A filter is located after the carbon module
to remove any carbon contaminates.
The Source 5000 Gas Generator has a hollow fiber membrane module which converts com
-
pressed air into high purity nitrogen, suitable for use as the curtain gas. The membrane module
has no moving parts assuring years of maintenance-free operation.
The water vapor in the compressed air passes through the hollow fibers of the membrane for re
-
moval, resulting in dry air. A small portion of the dry air is redirected along the fibers to sweep out
additional water vapor laden air and vented to atmosphere in the cabinet. A dewpoint of -40°F is
achieved at a pressure of 100 psig and flow rate of 28 slpm.
