5.8 JP-100
The Micro GC Fusion JP-100 is a 3D printed device that is installed at the back of the
Micro GC Fusion modules. For a 1- or 2-module chassis, a single JP-100 controls
both modules. For a 3- or 4-module chassis, two JP-100 devices are installed.
Wide changes in ambient temperature can impact µTCD response. This device
provides temperature control and stability over the ambient air surrounding the µTCD.
Having a consistent µTCD external temperature allows for accurate and repeatable
area counts, even when the Micro GC Fusion is subjected to wide ambient
temperature ranges. This is important in applications such as natural gas or chemical
process control/monitoring where measurements are made at instrument locations
that are subjected to wide temperature ranges.
The JP-100 has two method parameters located in the
Method Editor
–
TCD
and
TCD
Delta
. The
TCD
parameter allows the user to control the TCD external temperature.
The
TCD Delta
parameter allows the user to control the temperature range before the
GC becomes ready. This can be set up to 50⁰C. See Edit Method [}163] for more
details on these method parameters.
