Power on and perform the medium-temperature ramp on an ice sample that had been previously heated via a low-temperature ramp. The purpose of this run is mainly to help decompose any possible oxidizing agent that might be on the soils. It also looks for gas release on the way up to the hold temperature. After warm up, we will collect background data for 5 minutes inside the ramp. The ramp proper starts at -60 C and runs to + 175 C at 20 K/min followed by a 60 minute hold to decompose the oxidants. We do not capture a gas sample at the high temperature hold; we continuously monitor the gas composition with time during the hold.
This procedure also checks for leaks in the manifold, leaks in the oven, and checks the pressure in the supply tanks (simply by looking at the step rise in pressure with each pulse).
Note this run will be entirely at low emission.
Note also that this run has no mass-to-voltage calibration after the one done right after warm up.
Configuration:Low-temperature ramp has been completed previously. Need to make sure we do not begin too early in the morning PRIOR to the TA manifold
Will USE TA 0
Review: LT Results. Did the water evaporate enough or do we need to repeat LT? _ __
