  • Page 7: Oven Types

    Oven Types Chromatographic separations of samples are carried out inside the oven zone of the Maxum II analyzer. For most separations to be performed, the oven must be kept at an elevated temperature. This means that the oven zone must have a heat source, while simultaneously preventing that heat source from being capable of igniting flammable vapors which might be present within the oven.

  • Page 8: Isothermal Air Bath Oven Heater System (Single And Split)

    Oven Types 1.1 Isothermal Air Bath Oven Heater System (Single and Split) Isothermal Air Bath Oven Heater System (Single and Split) The isothermal airbath oven is the most common oven used in the Maxum II. It is available in single and split configurations to accommodate a wide range of chromatographic applications. Because high temperatures are often necessary in order to carry out chromatographic separations, the isothermal airbath oven heater system is equipped with various safety features to prevent ignition.

  • Page 9: Figure 1-2 Timing Coil For Pressure Switch

    Oven Types 1.1 Isothermal Air Bath Oven Heater System (Single and Split) The air pressure switch is connected to the oven air flow using an extension that runs parallel to the oven air flow line. This extension line is equipped with a restrictor coil. The coil is necessary in order to create a short delay between the start of air flow and the activation of the pressure switch.

  • Page 10: Temperature Limiting

    Oven Types 1.1 Isothermal Air Bath Oven Heater System (Single and Split) 1.1.2 Temperature Limiting The temperature-control path of the oven is controlled via an RTD sensor, set-point resistor, associated circuitry and a solid-state relay. The temperature of the air itself is monitored via two independent control paths which ensure that all temperatures remain below possible ignition limits.

  • Page 83 Valves 4.6 Model 11 Valve Figure 4-25 Model 11 Valve, LDV Version Exploded View The two actuating pistons are spring loaded in a manner that assures that all six passages are momentarily closed during the switching operation (both energized and de-energized). This feature prevents unwanted mixing of gases during the switching cycle.

    Valves 4.6 Model 11 Valve It is possible and often better to use an appropriate detergent, such as Alconox® for cleaning instead of solvent. However, after cleaning with a detergent, it is necessary to rinse the part thoroughly with deionized water (distilled water is also acceptable) in order to remove detergent residue.
