Comparison Assumptions
The following assumptions are used for simulation comparisons.
Assumptions
- ・Instrument is shut OFF during weekends/holidays.
- ・Analysis time is 30 minutes per analysis.
Ex: If 8 hours of analysis time per day is entered, then the simulation assumes 16 analyses per day. - ・Auto-stop function used for GC-2030/GC-2050/GC-2014/GC-17A models
Assumes about 1 hour of stabilization after auto-startup (Instrument operating hours per day = Analysis time + Stabilization time (1 hour)) - ・Carrier gas saver function used for GC-2030/GC-2050/GC-2014/GC-17A models
Carrier gas saver function settings are as follows.
Flowrate during carrier gas saver mode: 10 mL/min
Carrier gas saver mode time: From 2 min after analysis starts until analysis is finished
GC-2014/GC-17: Carrier gas saver function is OFF during stabilization time (1 hour).
GC-2030/GC-2050: Carrier gas saver function is ON during stabilization time (1 hour).
Differences between Current and New Models
-
- ・Power consumption:
- Due to presence/absence of auto-start/stop function
Also, difference in power consumption due to design
-
- ・Gas consumption:
- Due to presence/absence of auto-start/stop function
Due to carrier gas saver function
Due to carrier gas saver function during stabilization time
Also, difference in gas consumption due to design
