<strong>Glacier</strong> <strong>Transportable</strong> <strong>Sampler</strong><br />
Section 1 Introduction<br />
1.1 Overview The <strong>Glacier</strong> is a transportable refrigerated sampler, designed for<br />
automated sample collection in remote field situations where<br />
conventional, electrically-powered refrigerated samplers cannot<br />
be used. Normally, where there is no electrical power available,<br />
portable samplers using ice as the means for cooling the sample<br />
had to be used. The <strong>Glacier</strong>’s CFC-free cooling system meets the<br />
recommended EPA requirements for sample protection, eliminating<br />
the need for ice. Samples collected by the <strong>Glacier</strong> will be<br />
held at 3° C, even in extreme climates. However, some precautions<br />
and care must be taken when positioning and locating the<br />
<strong>Glacier</strong>. See section 2.2 before installation.<br />
The <strong>Glacier</strong> is ideally suited for the collection of composite<br />
samples for satisfying NPDES permit requirements. It is equally<br />
well suited for use in waste water treatment plants where portability<br />
or a compact size is needed. Since it can be operated from a<br />
12 volt battery or an internal AC converter, it can be easily<br />
moved from one location to another in the plant without worrying<br />
whether or not AC power is available.<br />
