* Acrylic desiccator cabinets are susceptible to damage with the prolonged use of alcohol and other cleaning/disinfecting agents. Desiccator cabinets fabricated out of Static Dissipative PVC may be a better choice in these instances.

** It is highly recommended that stainless steel shields be installed in Static Dissipative PVC desiccators to protect the chambers bottom surface from repeated scraping and rubbing, which can lead to loss of dissipative properties.

Additional Product Information:

  1. Amber acrylic desiccator cabinets are ideal for storage of materials and devices that are sensitive to ultraviolet light.
  2. Pre- tapped inlets/outlets for connection of optional gas purge devices & controllers and Auto-Adjust™ RB (relief/bleed) valve.
  3. Static-dissipative PVC desiccator cabinets provide added contamination control by dissipating static charges that attract air-borne particulate.
  4. Exterior removable back plenum panel is made of non-dissipative material. Static dissipative PVC available upon request (at additional charge).
  5. Static-dissipative PVC desiccator cabinets feature system grounding, where the door latch set, hinges and racks are interconnected with conductive tape and terminated at a multi lug grounding block. Grounding is optional on clear and amber acrylic desiccator cabinets. See Grounding (desiccator) option below for further information

* Acrylic shelves should not be used with static-dissipative PVC desiccator cabinets.

Additional product information:

  1. Stainless steel shields being purchased for installation on clear and amber acrylic desiccator cabinets, should be considered with the addition of desiccator grounding (optional). See Grounding (desiccator) option below for further information.
  2. Shields are factory installed. When purchased for use with a static-dissipative PVC desiccator, the shields will be installed and connected to the system grounding, which is a standard feature on these cabinets.
  3. Perforated shields, shelves and trays are available upon request (at additional charge)

Adjustable Shelf Supports:

  • Reinforces the desiccators internal fixed in-place plastic shelves for accommodating heavier storage loads
  • Minimizes detrimental cabinet damage caused by overloading storage chambers
  • Installed below the cabinets ceiling allows convenient placement of Cleanroom Synergy’s Gas Purge™ and Gas Monitor™ Controller units
  • Adjustable, Low-profile design allows placement without taking away valuable storage space
  • Install in pairs for better loading capability
  • Select the appropriate quantity needed for the selected desiccator cabinet(s).
  • Fabricated out of 304 stainless steel

Note: It is recommended that stored materials, whenever possible, be distributed evenly though-out the storage chamber and not centrally located in the center of the chamber as to minimize un-necessary damage to the desiccator cabinet.

Quick-Connect, Push-to-Connect Couplings:A slim body makes these plugs and sockets great for use in tight spaces. These “brass” couplings are single-shut-off style, so there is a valve in the socket but not the plug. Not rated for vacuum. NPTF (DrySeal) threads are compatible with NPT threads.

Push-to-Connect Sockets – To connect, push plug into socket until you hear a “click.” To disconnect, slide sleeve forward until the plug ejects. All have a Buna-N (nitrile) seal. These sockets are only for use with the plugs in this presentation.
Male plug features a 1/8″ pipe size NPTF, which can be connected (threaded) directly into the desiccator cabinet or to the optional Flow Meters listed below.

Flow Meters:

  • Scales are hot stamped into the front of the acrylic body and will not wear off
  • Bodies are precision cut and machined from clear acrylic blocks with a smooth tapered bore that provides perfect visibility of the indicating float
  • Accuracy is +/- 5% of full scale with a scale average 2″ long
  • Features brass (stainless steel optional) inlet and outlet connections, black glass float, Buna-N O-rings and tapped for 1/8″ NPT female process connection (vertical mounting)
  • Service: Compatible gases and liquids
  • Includes nickel plated brass hex nipple and 90 degree elbow (female x male), 1/8″ (3.18mm) pipe size for connection to Cleanroom Synergy desiccators, glove boxes or other gas purged enclosures

Auto-Adjust™ RB Valve:

  • Automatically adjusts to gas flow rates and possible sudden surges
  • Eliminates possible negative pressure incidents due to its one way air flow design
  • Continuously bleeds off excess internal gas to maintain a safe pressure within desiccators, glove boxes and other hermetically sealed enclosures
  • Includes a nickel plated brass hex nipple fitting (1/8″ NPT) with a polyurethane O-ring to ensure a positive seal against the hermitically sealed enclosure
  • One Auto R/B Valve per cabinet is required if desiccator is to be purged with dry gas
  • Installation of one Auto-Adjust™ RB Valve in each desiccator storage chamber eliminates cross contamination and R/H fluctuation in the unopened chambers

Grounding (Desiccator):

  • Safely discharges the operator when accessing stored material
  • Helps protect sensitive materials from electro static discharge damage
  • Provides interconnection of the door latch, door catch, hinges and racks with conductive tape and termination at a multi lug grounding block

Notes:

  1. Charge for grounding is per desiccator chamber, therefore, quantity should correspond with the number of chambers on the affected desiccator cabinet
  2. Grounding is a standard feature on all static dissipative PVC desiccator cabinets
  3. A ground fault circuit interrupter should be considered to provide personnel protection

Desiccator Cabinet Grounding:

Static Dissipative PVC features a surface resistivity of approximately 107 ohms/square that dissipates static charges from the cabinet’s surface. Grounding is standard on Static Dissipative PVC desiccators, which safely directs charges to a multi lug termination grounding block. To protect the Static-Dissipative PVC interior bottom surface, it is “highly recommended” that a stainless steel shield be installed in each desiccator cabinet chamber. Stainless steel shield installation includes connection to the desiccators grounding.

Acrylic (clear and amber) desiccators can also be fitted with grounding by purchasing the optional “Desiccator Grounding”. Charge for the desiccators grounding is per chamber. Stainless steel shield installation within these cabinets, include connection to the desiccators grounding if optional grounding is purchased.
