Used alone or in conjunction with a
Coy Automatic Humidity Controller, this unit dries the atmosphere in a the glovebox. A recirculating pump (110V, 60 Hz, 3 A, 65 cfm, 1841 l/m) draws glove box air through the two drying capsules mounted on the right-hand, outside rear of the cabinet. A total of 2.5 lbs. (1.1 kg) of desiccant with a water capacity of approximately 10-14% by weight fills the capsules. Several features make this unit easy to maintain:
- The desiccant has an indicator to show when rejuvenation is needed.
- Desiccant capsules are mounted outside the glove box, for easy access.
- Flexible tubing and quick disconnect fittings are used for easy capsule attachment.
- The fittings have internal shut-offs to maintain the glove box atmosphere even with the capsules removed for maintenance.
These units may be used manually or automatically (see Humidity Controller,) in conjuinction with a the Humidification Apparatus or by itself to control humiditiy in a COY Humidity Control Glove Box.
Included with the apparatus is a circulation fan for the chamber interior and relief valves installed in the chamber back panel.
