Connecting to the application
Once the initial purge run of 30 minutes has completed, it is ready to be connected to
the application(s).
The pressure in the internal storage tanks must be allowed to dissipate
before connecting the generator to the application(s). This may be
done by leaving the Nitrogen port at the rear of the generator open
and turning off the power supply to the generator.
Select the appropriate 1/4" or 6mm fitting from the fittings kit and connect to the
generator outlet. Using the appropriate tubing, connect the outlet of the generator to
the inlet on the application.
If you require more tubing than is supplied please refer to the Tubing Lengths section.
Once the tubing is connected to the application, please ensure that it
is thoroughly checked for being leak-tight. Even the slightest leak in
the gas supply between the generator and the application can lead to
a drop in Nitrogen purity or insufficient pressure.
Tubing Lengths
The diameter of the tubing which will be connected to the gas outlet is
important and is determined by the length of tubing required. Failure
to follow these recommendations could lead could lead to excessive
pressure drops between generator and application.
< 3 meters:
Use 6mm OD / 4mm ID or 1/4” OD / 3/16” ID PTFE tubing.
> 3-10 meters:
Use 8mm OD / 6mm ID or 5/16” OD / 1/4” ID PTFE tubing.
Tubing and fittings not supplied in the fittings kit.
> 10 - 40 meters: Use 10mm OD / 8mm ID or 3/8” OD / 5/16” ID PTFE tubing.
Tubing and fittings not supplied in the fittings kit.
> 40 metres:
Please contact Peak Scientific with the relevant distance and
we will calculate the flow resistance and the tubing size required.
