What
is GN2 Purge?
- GN2 is Gaseous
Nitrogen. NOT Liquid Nitrogen (LN2).
- Creates dry atmosphere
in the chamber.
- Consists of a
solenoid valve, flow meter, injection tube, pressure relief vent.
- For low controlled
humidity in humidity chambers (below 6°C dewpoint limitation
of standard humidity range) .
- To eliminate condensation
in temperature chambers.
- Lower initial
cost compared to Dry Air Purge.
- Customer needs
to supply nitrogen from tanks or a bulk system.
- May not be
an issue if customer already uses gaseous nitrogen for other
processes.
- Rapid release
of nitrogen gas into an enclosed space can displace oxygen, and therefore
represents an asphyxiation hazard.
