What type of gas needed to run a purified glove box?
The glove box should be supplied with inert gas with a 2 bars pressure. Normally, the inert gas chosen is nitrogen or argon and in some cases helium.

Regeneration requires a bottle composed either of hydrogen and inert gas or inert gas alone according to the glove box’ purification type;
| Input | Main feeding | Reactor’s regeneration gas | ||
| O2 Purification | O2 and H2O Purification | H2O Purification | ||
| Gas | Inert gas (Ar, N2, He) | 95% Inert gas 5% H2 |
100% Inert gas | |
| Pressure/Flow | 2 bars pressure | Flow = 23 L.mn-1 | ||
| Type of tank | Tank or Inert gas network quality: [O2] < 5 ppm ; [H2O] < 5 ppm |
10 m3 Tank | ||
| Connection | Permanent | Punctual (only during the reactor’s regeneration phase) | ||
| Fitting | 4-6 or F1/4″ BSP flexible hose | 4-6 or F1/4″ BSP flexible hose | ||
