This chapter describes the systems and components that comprise the TriStar II 3020 Analyzer. It includes graphics showing the location of major systems, modules, and components, as well as functional descriptions.

Overview

As the latest addition to the TriStar Analyzer family, the TriStar II 3020 is a fully automated, three-station physisorption instrument that provides high-quality surface area and porosimetry measurements on solid materials by using the gas adsorption technique.

The TriStar II 3020 has three ports, allowing analysis of up to three samples simultaneously and independently. A user can operate up to four TriStar analyzers with one Windows-based computer.

New Product Features TriStar II 3020Service

New Product Features

Cabinetry & Sample Chamber

• The TriStar II 3020 is smaller than the TriStar 3000 due to elimination of the vacuum pump cavity.

• The vacuum pump is now located external to the cabinet.

• The rotating door allows easier access to the sample ports for mounting and removing sample tubes.

Interior Modules

• Solid-state transducers with stainless steel diaphragms replace the exposed-silicon transducers of the 3000 model.The TriStar II 3020 adds a continuous saturation pressure measurement feature.

• An additional port has been added to the gas inlet manifold to bring the total number of ports, for readily available gases, to four.

Software

• The use of any of the IUPAC standard measurement units is available on the TriStar II 3020.

• Data from the TriStar 3000 and Gemini can be imported to the 3020 to allow overlay plots and other comparisons to be generated.

• Information can be scanned directly into input fields using a bar code reader. This elimi-nates human error on data entry.

• The TriStar II 3020 software allows opening of multiple sample files simultaneously for editing.

• Diagnostics may be performed remotely by way of the Internet. This allows MIC engi-neers to access the instrument and run diagnostics programs.

Interior Modules TriStar II 3020Service

Interior Modules

The analysis module consists of three subassemblies discussed below.

Gas entrance manifold

The Gas Entrance Manifold provides four gas inlet ports, that face the rear of the instrument. The inlets have dust filters (frits) to prevent dirt from gas lines getting into the system. This manifold also has the vacuum connection.

The servo valve sets dosing pressures in the manifold and regulates the rate of pressure decrease during gas evacuation.The manifold transducer is also located on the gas entrance manifold. All other valves are solenoid valves.

Dosing volume manifold

The Dosing Chamber or Volume Chamber is an aluminum chamber that has a capacity of 18 mL of volume. The volume chamber does not have any valves attached to it in order to prevent

local fluctuations of temperature, which would reduce the precision of gas measurements. There is a temperature sensing device (RTD) mounted to the chamber.

Sample analysis manifold

The Sample Manifold contains the three sample ports and a P0 port for the instrument. Each of the TriStar’s three ports has a 20-µm frit to prevent sample from entering and clogging the system, a small-orifice solenoid valve for dosing, a large-orifice solenoid valve for evacuation, 1000-Torr transducer, and a pressure relief valve to protect against excess pressure build up caused by too rapid desorption. The relief valves vent at 10 to 20 psig, even if there is no power applied to the instrument and protect the sample transducers, sample tubes and dewar. The P0 port is used for continuous saturation pressure measurement.

Analysis Sequence TriStar II 3020 Service

The valves in the schematic are described below.

Analysis Technique

The TriStar II 3020 Analyzer uses physical adsorption and capillary condensation principles to obtain information about the surface area and porosity of a solid material. The analytical technique is simple: a sample contained in an evacuated sample tube is cooled (typically) to cryogenic temperature, then is exposed to analysis gas at a series of precisely controlled pressures. With each incremental pressure increase, the number of gas molecules adsorbed on the surface increases. The equilibrated pressure (P) is compared to the saturation pressure (Po) and their relative pressure ratio (P/Po) is recorded along with the quantity of gas adsorbed by the sample at each equilibrated pressure.

As adsorption proceeds, the thickness of the adsorbed film increases. Any micropores in the surface are filled first, then the free surface becomes completely covered, and finally the larger pores are filled by capillary condensation. The process may continue to the point of bulk condensation of the analysis gas. Then, the desorption process may begin in which pressure systematically is reduced resulting in liberation of the adsorbed molecules. As with the adsorption process, the changing quantity of gas on the solid surface at each decreasing equilibrium pressure is quantified. These two sets of data describe the adsorption and desorption isotherms. Analysis of the shape of the isotherms yields information about the surface and internal pore characteristics of the material.
