<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">All of the dry cabinet's components have a one year warranty. The drying unit has an additional two-year "pro-rata" warranty. From Google, this seems to mean that they will replace or repair the
drying unit, but the fact that the drying unit is used and therefore it's value is depreciated will be taken into consideration.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

in about 6 weeks. The N2 connection will not be available until 9 weeks from now. He says the N2 connection is "designed for field retrofit" so we should be able to easily do the connection ourselves.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style="color:#0C64C0"> </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0C64C0">We warranty all parts for one year. The dry unit, which is the main operating component, has an additional two years pro rata warranty. There are very few components that can fail, and there are no maintenance or consumable
items. The cabinets are intentionally designed in a very modular fashion to enable quick, simple screws and plugs exchange of any failed items without the need for skilled technicians. Factory maintenance personnel are typically who we interface with when
there is an issue. </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0C64C0"> </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0C64C0">With regard to your N2 emergency option. This will not be available for dispatch until week 9. I do not know if you need the cabinet sooner. All of our options are designed for field retrofit, and this can be delivered separately
with the cabinet shipping sooner. Two lockrings and a cable plug are the extent of the retrofit. The enclosure is already prepared for the option.
</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0C64C0"> </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0C64C0">We can organize the schedule either way. Cabinet transport time is typically 3-4 weeks. The cabinet itself can dispatch in about two weeks. The valve assembly if separate, ships as a parcel which is less than a week.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">I received a reply to my inquiry to Super Dry about their other options for connecting nitrogen to the new dry cabinet. They have offered an option to include a rotameter and connection that will
turn on in the event of a power loss to help protect the aerogel. This option will be $900.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Since the $2,030 auto-flow nitrogen connection will be removed from the PR, the overall cost of the dry cabinet will be slightly reduced to ~$21,000.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">In addition to this connection from Super Dry, DSG is in the process of designing our own "aerogel fail-safe" system . This fail-safe system will utilize a fails-open electric solenoid valve that
will open nitrogen flow to the dry cabinet on a power outage. We would also be able to open this valve programmatically to purge the cabinet with nitrogen in the event that the internal humidity increases beyond ~5% RH. More details on this aerogel fail-safe
system will be coming in the next week.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
