The scrubber should last for about 1 year with less then 1ppm of CO2 in the stream. This puts the scrubber around 8000ppm/hours. Please keep in mind that this is just an approximation and your results may vary. For the purge air it is recommended to use N2 gas. If you use air with the CO2 scrubber it will die very shortly, within days as the amount of CO2 in the air is close to 400ppm. We do not recommend using this scrubber to scrub ambient air for the purge of the analyzer. I recommend that you use N2. DO NOT USE AIR TO PURGE THE UNIT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
