Hi, we do have ana. chamber. we do bake our catalyst (pallidium, charcole and dessicant) twice a week. Could you please let me know “how long we have to baked everyday and which temp.?”

Thanks.

Sam,

Congrats on the new chamber. The catalyst is essentially a rock. It has no expiration date. If you follow the SOPs and refresh it every day, you will have years and years of trouble free use.

I am not sure what you mean by 2-h? DO NOT purge your system with Hydrogen! You can use Nitrogen, N2 or anaerobic mixed gas. N2 is less expensive. You will use 300-400 lbs of gas should do it depending on your model.

Sam,

The catalyst will never wear out as long as it is stored in a cool dry place. Prior to putting the catalyst back in use make sure that it is baked. The usual procedure for the catalyst is to have one in the chamber while you bake out the other and they should be switched daily. After you have purged the unit the chamber should remain anaerobic as long as the catalyst is changed out daily and no oxygen is introduced to the chamber by leaving a door open or anything like that.

Hi,

I need to know the shelflife of the catalyst and how to store it when not in use please.

And please let me know after the first time purging the system to make it anaerobic (2-h gassing, is that cirrect?), do I need to regularly purge the chamber (not in case of leaking, as a routine)? and if yes, how often?

I appreciate your prompt reply in advance.

Sincerely,

Sam
