Appendix G. CPEC200 Scrub Module Installation, Operation and Maintenance

Edit the CPEC200 CRBasic program to set constant

SCRUB_MODULE =

True and recompile.

The CPEC200 program will add the appropriate variables. It will control the

temperature of the scrub module whenever it controls the temperature of the

valve module. It will turn on the scrub module pump whenever the

Zero Air

valve is selected. The scrub module will push a flow of ambient air that has

been scrubbed of CO

2

and water through the valve module to the EC155.

G.4 Maintenance

Once per year, refill the first bottle with fresh molecular sieve (CSI pn 27450,

molecular sieve 13X, 1.6-2.5 mm beads, 250 g. or VWR pn AAB21109-30)

according to the following steps:

1. Power down the CPEC200 or unplug the scrub module cable from the

CPEC200. This will ensure the scrub module pump does not turn on

while you replace the molecular sieve.

2. Open the door of the scrub module enclosure to expose the bottles

containing the molecular sieve as shown in FIGURE G-2.

3. Disconnect the fully exposed black tube (S-shaped and tied to the

center of the cover as shown in FIGURE G-2) at both ends. This tube

remains captive to the cover plate.
