An SP76 Carrier Gas Manifold Design For a Process GC ABB Process Analytics Tracy Dye IFPAC 2008 Baltimore Parker Hannifin Steve Doe
The Problem • Multiple stacked oven design restricted access from above • Carrier gas manifold needed to be serviced from the front • Bent tubing runs required for traditional manifold design • Labor intensive • Non-standard design, higher engineering costs
The Solution • Carrier gas and purge air regulators of SP76 design • Modular manifold that scales up easily from 1 to 5 zones
Multiple bent tubing runs Multiple fitting points The Results From this … • Multiple potential leak points • Service access to regulators and gauges from above • High labor and material content • Non-standard engineering design
All straight, pre-fab tube runs Limited fitting points The Results To this … • Fewer potential leak points • Easy access to regulators and gauges from the front • Lower labor costs (no tube bends), lower material (less tubing) • Standard, modular engineering design
