Chapter 5:
Maintaining Your CentriVap
Under normal operation, the CentriVap requires little maintenance. The
following maintenance schedule is recommended. Before servicing the
CentriVap, disconnect electrical power. Special precautions must be observed if
materials used in the CentriVap Concentrator are known to be hazardous, toxic,
radioactive or contaminated with pathogenic micro organisms. Before servicing,
the CentriVap Concentrator must be suitably decontaminated. Wear appropriate
eyewear, gloves and other safety apparel.
As needed:
Before using any cleaning or decontamination method except those recommended
by the manufacturer, users should check with the manufacturer that the proposed
method will not damage equipment.
1.
Clean up all spills; remove liquids from the chamber. Clean or decontaminate
all surfaces using agents suitable for the substance spilled.
2.
Clean lid and gasket using soft cloth, sponge or chamois and a mild, non-
abrasive soap or detergent.
3.
At the end of the run, liquid collected in the glass traps should be removed. To
empty a trap, unscrew the glass bowl from the head. Dispose of the liquid in
accordance with all codes. Reinstall the glass bowl by screwing it back on to
the head.
4.
If the media in the optional clear canister has changed color, discard and
replace the insert with a new insert. For the radiochemical trap insert, no
indicator exists; therefore, it should be discarded after each use. In radioactive
applications, the system should be monitored with a Geiger counter.
5.
Check rotors for loose or missing parts. Tighten or replace as required. Do
not use defective rotors.
6.
Inspect the chamber to insure that there are no cracks or structural damage.
Call Labconco if defects exist.
7.
Check the continuity of the protective earth between the ground terminal on
the power inlet and a bare metal housing panel. Contact Labconco if there is
no continuity.
8.
Repair any defects to the surface where the CentriVap is installed.
