Transfer line modules
The transfer line module provides the interface between the column module and the GC oven.
The transfer line module has two heated tubes (transfer lines) through which the column leads
pass from the LTM column module into the oven. These transfer lines are temperature
programmable to prevent cold spots in the sample path between the GC oven and the LTM
column module. Each LTM column module attaches to a transfer line module, and the
resulting module assembly inserts into slots in the LTM oven door. See
.
NOTE
The current transfer line module and LTM column module design uses guides in the column
module to correctly position the column module onto the transfer line module. The column
module secures into the transfer line module using two screws.
