Molecular Sieve, 1.25 lb.
When changing out desiccants, the user must take care to ensure that the columns are properly seated in
the correct manifolds, the proper desiccant is used in appropriate columns which are clearly marked and
that all “O” rings are in place and slightly lubricated with silicone grease. Any leakage of ambient air into
the gas circuit generally results in error messages during Zero or fluctuating CO2r values during
measurement.
Molecular Sieve Repackaging
The Molecular Sieve is originally supplied by PP Systems in tin packaging. After
initial opening, we strongly urge all users to repackage the Molecular Sieve in
small glass containers with a screw top to seal the desiccant from room air. This
desiccant saturates very quickly in room air and if not properly stored it will cause
it to go bad and subsequently affect CO
2
readings and calibration.
To ensure a good seal, we also recommend putting some electrical tape around
the screw top as shown here. If you have any questions, get in contact with PP
Systems.
Each absorber column includes the following items which should be checked
periodically and replaced when necessary:
Tip
Always change the molecular sieve at least
once per week when the TARGAS-1 is in use
regardless of operation time.
