Options
The type of valve enclosure can be selected among three different options 
depending on the analytical requirements.
1. TRACE GC Ultra Valve Oven
 
It provides an additional isothermal heated zone to accomodate valves and 
columns. It consists of an inner heated enclosure and an external unheated 
area. The former is designed to house up to four heated valves, restrictors and 
1/8” OD packed columns. The latter houses up to two valves and pressure 
regulators. This option is therefore particularly suitable for applications such 
as natural gas or refinery gas analyses where, together with the GC column 
oven, an additional isothermally heated area is required for gas sampling, 
column switching, storing or sample cutting valves. It can accommodate up to 
four constant pressure regulators, up to eight needle valves, plus front and rear 
sample and carrier gas inlets/outlets.
2. TRACE GC Ultra Valve Box for Up to Six Valves
 
This version is the same as previous option (TRACE GC Ultra Valve Oven
but without heating elements. It provides an additional cold zone to 
accommodate up to four gas sampling/switching valves, up to two valves for 
liquid sampling, restrictors and 1/8” OD packed columns.
 
It is therefore particularly suitable for engineered applications that can be 
exploited at ambient temperature, for which multi-column and/or multi-valve 
configurations (sampling, switching, storing or heart-cutting) are required.
 
It can also accomodate up to four constant pressure regulators, up to eight 
needle valves, plus front and rear sample and carrier gas inlets/outlets
3. TRACE GC Ultra Valve Box for Up to Two Valves
 
This version is the same as previous option (TRACE GC Ultra Valve Box for 
Up to Six Valves) 
but can accomodate ONLY up to two valves, thus providing 
a customized solution for not highly demanding engineered applications. This 
version does not include any electronics; the drivers for the two three-way-
valves controlling the pneumatic actuators are installed on the TRACE GC 
Ultra.
 
It is able to accept restrictors and 1/8“ OD packed columns; it can also 
accommodate up to four constant pressure regulators, up to eight needle 
valves, plus front and rear sample and carrier gas inlets/outlets.
