About cooling time of pyrolyzer furnace
Fig. 2.1 shows the relationship between pyrolyzer furnace temperature and cooling time with varied
cooling air pressures. The pressures (P) here are ones measured at the outlet of nylon tube
(PY1-7801) that feeds air to the pyrolyzer.
Other requirements and utilities
1) Gas chromatograph (with a split/splitless injection port): some limitations in installation depending on GC model.
2) Multi-shot pyrolyzer: pyrolysis furnace cooling gas (nitrogen or compressed air, pressure: 400-600kPa) supplied via o.d. 1/8 in
or 3 mm pipe (cupper or stainless steel), readily accessible from the temperature controller of pyrolyzer (operating flow rate: 7
L/min)
3) Power outlet: AC100/120V or AC200/240V, 400W (MAX) with 3P socket
4) Control PC: A PC running Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Vista, or XP operating system with a USB port. If the recommended GC or
GC/MS is used, the PC can be shared with GC/MS control software programs.
