Inert Gas Purging System – HiCen TR Configuration Example
Configuration note: The centrifuge specifications on this page refer to the HiCen TR example. They are not general performance limits of the inert gas purging system. Availability, design and permissible operating conditions must be confirmed for the specific centrifuge and sample configuration.
The HiCen TR with inert gas purging system from Herolab was specifically developed for applications requiring a controlled atmosphere. Through targeted nitrogen purging, the oxygen content in the centrifuge chamber is reduced, minimizing the risk of unwanted reactions. This technology offers maximum safety and precision for laboratory processes in sensitive research fields.
Technology and Safety Features
✔ Efficient Protection Mechanisms – Overpressure encapsulation system for nitrogen with integrated oxygen sensor for continuous monitoring.
✔ Automatic Protection Functions – Emergency shutdown in case of insufficient nitrogen supply or increased oxygen concentration. The hazardous components are de-energized; the rotor coasts unbraked to a standstill.
✔ Precise Gas Control – Nitrogen supply with separate power source and continuous monitoring.
✔ Energy-Independent Emergency Purging – Bypass purging maintains the nitrogen atmosphere even during power outages.
✔ Optimized for Sensitive Laboratory Processes – Safe operation in demanding laboratory environments.
