The Most Versatile Analytical Oven that Meets All GC Application Requirements

Airless (1 or 2 ovens) Air Bath (1 or 2 temp sections/zones)


s


Why the 2 Oven Type, 4 Configuration Choice

Airless (Space Heater)— One or two Independent oven

with separate doors. Independent maintenance

— Space heater does not need instru air. Especially suitable for remote locations. Save upto 500 Euro per GC each year on power & air utilities

— Higher maximum operating temperature beyond 200 deg C and effective thermal efficiency. Oven can also be used for high temp sampling system

Air bath (Air Bath Heater)— Upto two separate temp

section/zone through thermal isolation in one large compartment

— Air bath heater provides fast warm up and stabilization time. Permits programmed temperature or sub-ambient operation with vortex cooling configuration

— Large, spacious compartment for complex applications and easy maintenance

Single Airless Dual Airless Single Air Bath Split Air BathProgrammed Temperature


s


The Widest Choice and Largest Quantity of Detectors per GC

A total of 7 different technologies in detector modules— 4- and 8-cell Thermal Conductivity with thermistors

(max 24 TCDs for % measurement)— 2-cell Thermal Conductivity with filaments— Flame Ionization or Flame Ionization with Filament TCD

(Max 3 FIDs for ppm HC measurement and 6TCDs for % measurement)

— Flame Photometric (Max 3 FPDs for low sulphur measurement)

— Electron Capture— Helium Ionization— Electrolytic Conductivity

Each Maxum Ed II can effectively replace the job of upto 5 traditional GCs without operation compromise. The cost saving in GC shelters and accessories is upto 70% of total analyzer system cost!

The Benefits of More Detectors - Parallel Chromatography

More detectors allow more applications per oven

— Critical/control service can be measured in unprecedent fast cycle time

— Critical/control service can also have redundant application including oven in one GC

— Complex analyzer can be replaced by Maxum Ed II because of faster analysis time and more components measured eg Mass Spectrometer

The Benefits of More Detectors – Inter-column Detectors, The Siemens Standard Feature!

Adequate detectors ensure that Inter-column detectors are always considered.

Traditionally, detectors take-up oven space, micro-processor power, and incur cost. Therefore, GC vendors do omit inter-column detectors to cut cost.

In a typical GC application, the first column provide coarse separation of the sample. Then the sample is switched to various columns for further specific fine separation. The switching is basically determined by time.

Inter-column detectors eliminate time consuming and tedious guess work when deciding oven flow path switching timing between columns. This happens whenever the columns aged or are replaced.


s


The Benefits of More Detectors - Power Made Simple

More detectors allow more applications per oven— Two or more streams can be

analyzed in parallel instead of stream switching. Therefore all streams results are updated in each cycle of analysis.

There are enough detectors to standardised and simplify chromatography application methods— Applications are broken down into

simple standardised sub-applications called Applets.

— Applets reduces cost by reducing complexity in user understanding, training and maintenance.

Extremely high reliability and long life diaphragm valves— 10-port Plunger-less diaphragm vapor sample valve— Proven MTBF 10 years.— 6-port Diaphragm-plunger high pressure vapor or

liquid sample valve— Proven MTBF 6 years

Vaporising liquid injection valve— Precision sample size control and fast, clean

injection— Ideally suited for liquid chemical analysis

Controller for communications, human interface and database management

— Upto 3 x 486 32 bit Dedicated Sensor Controllers for detector data acquisition; independent controllers for each detector module.

— TCP/IP platform


s


Carrier Gas Pressure Control is a Standard Not an Option!

Upto 8-channel Electronic Pressure Control— Absolute digital control of carrier gas

pressures. No more tedious flow adjustment on site start-up and routine maintenance.

— The GC oven always involves various carrier gas flow paths to different analysis columns. The source carrier gas pressure therefore varies because different columns have different length and separation time.

— Traditionally, needle valves are used as restrictors to vary the source carrier gas pressure. These needle valves always creep during transportation and overtime requiring frequent tedious flow adjustment maintenance.
