NOISE REDUCTION CABINET

A sound-insulated enclosure is available that accom-modates either Autotap models. The noise from tap-ping can be reduced by up to 15 dBA (actual improve-ment depends on local factors such as bench material and ceiling height).

CART

Sturdy and durable optional cart for ASiQ and AS6B. Primarily used when bench space is limited or when the instrument needs to be moved around in the lab. It can accommodate a roughing pump on the bottom shelf.

CLOSED-COUPLED DETECTOR

The Autosorb iQ-C can be coupled with a low cost Mass Spectrometer option to perform qualitative chemi- sorption studies for determination of evolving species as a function of temperature. Unlike a full sized MS system which requires its own vacuum system, this option utilizes the iQ's powerful vacuum system to provide the detector with the required low pressures needed for its operation. Since it connects to the side of the instrument, it requires no bench space and connects directly to the instrument with no other ex-ternal electronics required, which makes it ideal for crowded laboratories.

THERMOELECTRIC CHILLER / HEATER Ideal partner for Quantachrome's gas pycnometer, the Ultrapyc-T 1200e, a density analyzer equipped with built-in circulation coils with an external port for connection to a circulator-style thermostat. The peltier does away with having separate heating and cooling elements and the associated refrigerant compressor, and so the new circulator is better matched in size ( width 30.48 cm x Depth 30.18 cm ) and thermal specifications to the pycnometer.

THERMOSTATTED CIRCULATOR Allows gas sorption measurements to be made at temperatures from below ambient to as high as 100°C. Consists of refrigerator unit and heater / circulator. Optional use with Autosorb, NOVA and Quadrasorb.

CRYOGEN STORAGE DEWARS

For the convenience of having larger quantities of liquefied gases on hand. Quantachrome offers storage dewars in sizes ranging from 5 liters to 30 liters, plus a transfer device and trolley for the larger sizes.

CRYOCOOLER Sample thermostating option for the Autosorb iQ, iSorbHP, and Autosorb1. The CryoCooler not only allows gas sorption studies over an extended tem-perature range from as low as 20K (Autosorbs) all the way to 300K, but also removes the need to use cryogens especially the less common such as liquid argon (for studies at 87K for example). Moreover, the lack of need for liquefied gases allows the Cryo- Cooler to run indefinitely without having to stop the experiment to refill the Dewar, therefore eliminating the major restriction for long term analysis on those materials that require extremely long equilibra-tion times.

(a) PoreMaster 60/60GT can analyze pores as small as 0.0036 µm while the PoreMaster 33/33GT can analyze up to 0.0064 µm.

(b) 0.018 µm pores can be analyzed with 3GZh model only.

Pore size can be analyzed by gas sorption as well as the techniques described in the following table. However, as the size of pores become wider (larger than 400 µm), the gas molecules cannot fill up the pores completely, making them impossible to accurately analyze with this technique. In order to perform these measurements, new techniques were developed over time to account for these larger pores, which involved the use of liquids, which could easily fill up the pores in question.
