COY Dry Glove Boxes control and maintain humidity levels below ambient conditions, achieving a humidity level of 5% or lower through either a desiccant system for removing moisture, or through a dry gas purge system, typically utilizing dry nitrogen or argon.
Control is through a revolutionary sensor and monitor/controller providing precise control in .1% increments, with tuning features.
Styles - Two standard styles are available:
- Clear Polycarbonate unit that features a lower cost to purchase, and relatively low cost to customize.
- The Aluminum units while more expensive on initial purchase, are a longer lasting, sturdy build that, with the addition of tempered Glass, can be used in highly corrosive chemical use.
- Polycarbonate units have 4 standard sizes
and Aluminum units have two.
Automatic Control
- Provides monitoring and control of the relative humidity. It activates the necessary system
(dehumidification or humidification) when the moisture level deviates from the adjustable set point.
- Flow rates, sensor position circulation, and orifice positions were all considered in the design to maximize
control capabilities and humidity uniformity across the glove box.
- Since this is a closed loop circulation system, an inert gas environment can be maintained in the glove box
while controlling the humidity.
Drying Systems
- Two systems are available to dry these Humidity Control Glove Boxes a Desiccant Drying System (pictured above) and a Dry Gas Purge System.
- The Desiccant System is standard, however the Dry Gas Purge System can be substituted at no extra cost.
- The Dry Gas Purge System allows for a lower attainable humidity level 3% (1% using special dry gas) vs. 5% for the desiccant System. The Gas Purge System is also cleaner, provides faster drying times and requires less maintenance (Desiccant needs to be rejuvenated).
- The Desiccant Drying system can be a lot less expensive to operate. The two systems can also be used to work together to minimize the cost of the dry gas purge system.
Gloveless Sleeve
- All units are equipped with gloveless sleeves to allow superior handling of interior samples. However, the moisture from skin does influence Humidity levels below 15% Rh and for these applications the user may need to operate with gloves which can easily placed over the gloveless sleeve cuff.
Transfer Chamber Option
- All units have an optional pass thru chamber (air lock) available. This enables transfer of equipment and samples without drastic changes to the interior environment.
