CARBOLITE GERO inert gas packages have been designed to work in combination with the gas atmosphere work tube packages to optimise the inert atmosphere inside the work tube. Allowable gases are shown in the table. They are not suitable for flammable gases such as hydrogen or oxygen.
The standard inert gas package includes a manual on/ off valve along with pressure gauge and flow meter. The advanced inert gas package has the addition of an electrically operated valve which can be activated by a program segment.

Multiple gas packages can be used together. They have the facility for the user to fix them together to make a combined assembly. If the products temperature controller is an EPC3016P1 or CC-T1, a maximum of two advanced inert gas packages can be combined. If the products temperature controller is an EPC3008P10 or nanodac, a maximum of three advanced inert gas packages can be combined.
The standard inert gas package includes:
- Gas inlet = 6 mm outside diameter push in fitting
- Manual on/off ball valve
- Pressure relief valve
- Pressure gauge
- Flow meter with flow adjustment knob
- Non-return valve
- Fitting and pipe to connect an additional inert gas package
- Gas outlet = 6 mm braided hose with 6 mm union
- Dimensions: H x W x D (mm): 240 x 135 x 215
