Nitrogen protected centrifuge

Conventional laboratory and industrial centrifuges are generally not allowed to centrifuge explosive or flammable substances during the daily operation of separating mixtures. All centrifuge manufacturers will clearly provide risk warnings in their operating manuals.

A nitrogen protected centrifuge is a centrifuge that uses nitrogen as a protective gas. In certain specific experiments, manufacturing or processing processes, oxygen or other harmful substances need to be removed from the centrifuge to prevent oxidation, contamination or reaction of the sample. For this purpose, nitrogen can be introduced into the working area of the centrifuge to achieve a protective effect by replacing the air. This nitrogen protected centrifuge is commonly used in laboratories, chemical industries, and materials science research that require operation in an anaerobic environment.

However, in reality, it is often inevitable to centrifuge volatile organic solvents.

For this purpose, Herolab has developed an inert gas protection system specifically for this purpose, based on the HiCen red series high-capacity centrifuge.Nitrogen protected centrifugeIt can be widely applied in scientific research and production fields such as medicine, food, and chemical engineering. Provide high level of safety for handling volatile, flammable, and explosive samples for customers.

The basic principle is to use a series of valves and sensors to fill the centrifugal chamber with nitrogen gas, so that the chamber is always under the protection of inert gas during the operation of the centrifugal program, thereby eliminating the potential risk of explosion.

Nitrogen protected centrifugeCompliant with the SIL 2 safety standard of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Adopting a dual pipeline design scheme with mutual backup. Even in the event of a power failure in the host, the smooth completion of nitrogen filling can still be ensured. And in emergency situations, the centrifugal program can be automatically interrupted in a timely manner to ensure the safety of organic matter centrifugation.
