    The system will limit mass flow rate to 20 L/min for %RH greater than 95. Using glycol/water as the temperature heat transfer fluid from -10 to 72 °C. Note: the 2900 can only operate for a finite amount of time at or below 0 °C Temperature Control Stability is defined as the standard deviation over a 10-minute period, as measured by the saturation temperature control sensor after being at point for 60 minutes.

  • Page 10: Uncertainty

    Chamber pressure at 1 atmosphere, Uncertainty values represent an expanded uncertainty using a coverage factor, k=2, at an approximate level of confidence of 95%. Uncertainty is not specified at saturation temperatures below 0 °C or at flow rates below 10 L/min. Uncertainty is based on the worst-case value from the 2900 uncertainty analysis.

  • Page 11: Facility Requirements

    500 hours of use depending upon the temperature and humidity at which the generator is operated (reference section 13.3.4). During operation near ambient temperature and 50% RH, one gallon should last for approximately 200 hours. Model 2900 System Manual – Document #SG2900 - Edition 1.8 September 2019...

    – at the 2900. Adjust the 2900’s internal pressure regulator (REG) to 10 psiG below the supply pressure, but never above 150 psiG. For example, if the supply pressure indicates 165 psiG then adjust the internal pressure regulator to 150 psiG. If the supply pressure indicates 155 psiG then adjust the internal pressure regulator to 145 psiG (10 psiG below).
