  • Page 9: Introduction

    Zero Air Generator Introduction The Zero Air Generator (pn 31022) provides a convenient source of zero air (air that contains no CO or water vapor) for zeroing a gas analyzer where normally a compressed-gas cylinder of zero air would be used. The Zero Air...

  • Page 13: Zero Air Generator Port Configuration

    Zero Air Generator FIGURE 6-1. Zero Air Generator port configuration The Test connection pulls air from two inches above the bottom of the bottle of molecular sieve. This air sample is used to monitor the effectiveness of the molecular sieve scrubbing the air. Because unscrubbed air enters at the top and flows downward, the molecular sieve will be consumed from the top down.

    Zeroing an Open-Path IRGA The Zero Air Generator makes it easy to zero an IRGA in the field. For open- ® path IRGAs, such as the IRGASON or EC150 (sold by Campbell Scientific ® Inc.) or the LI-7500 (sold by LI-COR , Inc.), a zero/span shroud is required.

    Zero Air Generator FIGURE 6-5. Zero Air Generator connected to LI-840A Maintenance Replacing Batteries The Zero Air Generator ships with two AA alkaline cells. Refer to the following instructions and figures to replace the batteries. 1. Make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position as shown on the lid of the Zero Air Generator.
  • Page 17 7-1. Replace the batteries if the pump seems to be running slower than normal, or if it does not run at all. Replacement batteries can be obtained from Campbell Scientific as pn 26064, but can usually be sourced locally. Any type of AA cells may be used: rechargeable or disposable.

    Zero Air Generator FIGURE 7-1. Pumping speed relative to hours of use, indicating time for battery replacement Replacing Molecular Sieve The molecular sieve in the Zero Air Generator requires periodic replacement. Time for replacement can be determined by comparing the values of an air sample taken from the Test port to those of an air sample taken at the Out port as described in Section 6.1, Theory of Operation .
  • Page 19 Zero Air Generator 3. Loosen the four screws that clamp the bottle cap to the bracket approximately one turn. 4. Slide tubes out until filters touch the bottle cap. NOTE Pull gently at first increasing force just until the tubes begin sliding out.
  • Page 20 Zero Air Generator 5. Remove the bottle, keeping it upright to avoid spilling the contents, and set the O-ring aside for reassembly. 6. Empty the old molecular sieve into a disposal container and dispose according to local regulations. 7. Fill the bottle with new molecular sieve until the sieve is mounded as much as possible.
