Design of the Double Furnace Solids Module
The Double Furnace Solids Module consists of the following main components:
Components for sample preparation
Combustion system
Accessories
The solids module is connected via an adapter at the mount of the furnace lock to the ana-
lyzer multi N/C 2100/2100S.

Components for sample preparation
The furnace lock is mounted on the side opening of the combustion tube. For the solids
module the samples are supplied via sample boats. The sample amount is max. 500 mg
(dependent on the sample material). The sample boat is inserted into the solids module via
the furnace lock. It is opened and closed manually via an interlock.
Combustion system
The use of the Double Furnace Solids Module in the analyzer multi N/C 2100/2100S requires
the use of a combustion furnace for vertical and horizontal operation. The combined com-
bustion furnace permits the operation with a vertically installed combustion tube or the op-
eration with a horizontally installed solids module.
The horizontally installed combustion tube of the solids module is made from quartz glass.
The furnace lock with manual feed is mounted to the side opening of the combustion tube.
The gas transfer hose is connected to the combustion tube adapter and linked to the con-
densation coil in the analyzer via a fork clamp.
The double-walled combustion tube is filled with catalyst and auxiliary material. As catalyst in
the Double Furnace Solids Module the special catalyst for multi N/C (CeO
temperature of up to 950 °C (standard: 900 °C) is used as default.
Accessories
The following accessories are required to operate the Double Furnace Solids Module:
