<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 />
