Why should I use a full pyrolysis tube instead of a tube liner in a metal pyrolysis tube?
Similar to the cold trap insert, the full pyrolysis is easily removed and changed with a spare clean tube, minimizing downtime. Because the full pyrolysis tube is clear quartz glass, the dimer can be observed by sliding off the vaporizer. The thermal dissipation of quartz allows for quick change over to the next run. Maintenance to the tube is done in a separate cleaning furnace (see Paratronix Inc. accessory Burn-Out Furnace) and does not tie up the system pyrolysis furnace; thus leaving it available for production use. Tube liners, if not properly maintained, can become jammed in the metal pyrolysis tube and removal can be time consuming, with high downtime to production.
