BBG train

Inject mode 15 (2) seconds The provided illustration shows that during the inject mode, the lighter gasses have already moved through column A and into column B. The heavier gasses are retained on column A.

Backflush mode In column A, C3 and heavier gasses are combined into a group named C3+. The lighter gasses will continue through column B, pass through column A again and cross the detector bead. When the gasses cross the detector bead, they change the amount of energy necessary to maintain the temperature level of the bead. This change in energy is what causes the peak generation for each of the gasses.
