4.2.3 Components for measuring gas drying and cleaning
Dust trap for C/S detection
The dust trap is attached directly to the ceramic combustion tube. Combustion dust settles
inside it. Larger particles in the gas flow hit against a plate positioned vertically to the gas
flow and fall down.

Drying tube and halide trap for C/S detection
For drying the measuring gas during C/S the drying tube, filled with magnesium perchlorate
as desiccant, has been installed in the gas path.
The basic device contains a halide trap (U tube) for the greatest possible removal of interfer-
ing components in the measuring gas and to protect the detector. The U-tube is filled with
special copper wool and brass wool. The filling of the halide trap has to be renewed at the
latest once half of the copper wool or the brass wool is discolored.
