Windows spacers

Thermal Insulation. In addition to their low thermal conductivity, as discussed in the section above, siUca aerogels can be prepared to be highly transparent in the visible spectmm region. Thus, they are promising materials as superinsulating window-spacer. To take further advantage of its...

The assembly fitted tightly into the cell and was pushed against a stainless steel spacer (0.04 cm. thick) that defined the position of the calorimeter relative to the front window. Spacers of lengths 0.2, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.7 cm. were used. A 0.1 cm. hole was drilled through each calorimeter at about half radius to allow air interchange between the rear and front of the cell. This was found to be necessary as the thermal expansion because of the heating by the electron pulse of the air trapped in the front section was sufficient, in some cases, to displace the calorimeter assembly. 

When assembling insulation layers on top of each other, the edges of aluminum foil layers were lined up in order to have a straight-edged blanket for ease of installation and to avoid radiation windows. Spacer materials were also aligned and extended beyond the edges of the aluminum foil layers in order to avoid thermal short-circuiting of radiation shields. 

Figure 3.8 shows one type of completely demountable cell for liquids. The parts are laid out in order of assembly as follows cell frame, supporting gasket, window spacer(s), window with holes, gasket, metal plate with holes for syringes and Teflon stoppers, O rings, and the screw-on cover for tightening the cell.

In the constmction industry, ceUular polymers are used as spacers and sealant strips in windows, doors, and closures of other types, as weU as for backup strips for other sealants. 

Another nonregenerative drying appHcation for molecular sieves is their use as an adsorbent for water and solvent in dual-pane insulated glass windows. The molecular sieve is loaded into the spacer frame used to separate the panes. Once the window has been sealed, low hydrocarbon and water dew points are maintained within the enclosed space for the lifetime of the unit. Consequently, no condensation or fogging occurs within this space to cloud the window.

Figure 12.1 Schematic of the spectroelectrochemistry apparatus at the University of Dlinois. The thin-layer spectroelectrochemical cell (TLE cell) has a 25 p.m thick spacer between the electrode and window to control the electrolyte layer thickness and allow for reproducible refilbng of the gap. The broadband infrared (BBIR) and narrowband visible (NBVIS) pulses used for BB-SFG spectroscopy are generated by a femtosecond laser (see Fig. 12.3). Voltammetric and spectrometric data are acquired simultaneously.

Figure 12.2 The electrochemical cell has a 25 p-m Teflon spacer sandwiched between the electrode and a window (Cap2 or Mgp2) to provide an electrolyte layer of known and controlled thickness. Working, reference, and auxiliary electrodes are indicated. Construction materials are glass and Teflon.

All three cells utilize neoprene gaskets to cushion the fragile salt crystals from the metal frame. In the case of the sealed and sealed demountable cells, the top neoprene gasket and window have holes drilled in them to coincide with the inlet and outlet ports to facilitate filling the space, created by the spacer,... 

Procedure Take about 15-20 mg of sample in a previously cleaned small agate mortar and powder it thoroughly (about 200 mesh). Add to it 2 drops of purified paraffin (commonly known as Nujol) or any other suitable mulling liquid and continue the trituration until a very smooth paste of uniform consistency is achieved. Now, transfer the slurry to a sodium chloride window, placing it carefully into the cavity made by the spacer. Consequently, place the other window on top and thus assemble the cell. With the help of a clean piece of tissue-paper wipe out the excess paste that has squeezed out from the cell windows. Finally, introduce the cell in the respective cell-compartment.

An alternative type of cell, which consists of two parts of optically flat windows, is suitable for CD and MCD measurements of small-volume samples. One of the window affords a trough for filling in the sample. Otherwise, a well-calibrated spacer is inserted to a conventional cell for adjusting its path length. The light path length is calibrated by using the absorbance of an appropriately diluted solution of benzene or toluene. 

Liquids are usually analysed with cells which have dismountable IR windows. For qualitative analysis, a droplet of the sample is compressed between two NaCl or KBr disks without a divider. However, for quantitative analysis, either Infrasil quartz cells (with an optical path from 1 to 5 cm) or cells that have a variable or fixed width, generally smaller than 1 mm (see Fig. 10.17), can be used. In the mid-infrared, the latter consist of two KBr or NaCl windows with a spacer. The optical path length must be calibrated and periodically controlled.
