Thermo TVA-1000B PID/FID Kit 115V Charger

The Thermo TVA-1000B PID/FID Kit 115V Charger is a comprehensive system designed for the detection and measurement of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in various industrial, environmental, and laboratory applications. This kit includes a sophisticated combination of two types of detectors: the Photoionization Detector (PID) and the Flame Ionization Detector (FID), allowing for versatile, high-precision analysis of gases.

Key Features:

1. PID Detector (Photoionization Detector):

   • The PID detector is highly sensitive to a wide range of VOCs, offering rapid detection of compounds at low concentration levels. It is particularly effective for monitoring toxic gases such as solvents, hydrocarbons, and industrial chemicals.
   • This makes it ideal for applications in areas such as air quality monitoring, industrial hygiene, and environmental testing.
   • It uses UV light to ionize gas molecules, generating ions that can be measured by the detector, providing a high level of sensitivity.

2. FID Detector (Flame Ionization Detector):

   • The FID detector provides enhanced sensitivity and precision in detecting hydrocarbons, including methane and heavier gases. It is often used in petrochemical, environmental, and pharmaceutical industries for trace gas analysis.
   • The FID works by measuring the ions formed when gases are burned in a hydrogen flame, offering a robust method for detecting organic compounds.

3. 115V Charger:

   • The Thermo TVA-1000B kit comes with a 115V charger, ensuring that the portable system can be recharged efficiently when needed, making it convenient for field operations or mobile environments.
   • The charger is designed for ease of use and to ensure that the equipment maintains its operational capabilities over extended periods of use.

4. Portability & Flexibility:

   • The TVA-1000B system is designed to be lightweight and portable, allowing for both indoor and outdoor usage in diverse environments. It is perfect for mobile applications such as emergency response teams, environmental monitoring stations, and industrial plant inspections.
   • The integrated kit is user-friendly, featuring simple interface controls, making it easy to set up and operate, even for non-experts.

5. Applications:

   • Industrial Monitoring: Detect and quantify volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and gases in manufacturing, chemical, and processing plants.
   • Environmental Testing: Monitor air quality and pollutant levels in urban or rural settings, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.
   • Research & Development: Used in laboratories for studying the behavior of volatile compounds, chemical reactions, and more.
   • Safety & Hazardous Materials Management: Ideal for safety teams to quickly assess hazardous exposure levels in industrial or commercial settings.

6. Calibration and Maintenance:

   • The Thermo TVA-1000B is designed to be calibrated and maintained with minimal effort. Routine calibration ensures that the system continues to provide accurate readings, while the built-in self-diagnostic features help troubleshoot any potential issues.
