Connecting to the application
Once the initial purge run of 45 minutes has completed, and the generator has been
running for 15 mins, (required to reach purity for the application) 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)
Attach the
¼
” compression fittings to the outlets of the generator. Using the
¼
” tubing
supplied, connect the outlets of the generator to the inlets on the application.
If you require more tubing than is supplied refer to the Tubing Lengths section.
Once the tubing is connected to the application, 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
reduction in efficiency.
Tubing Lengths
The diameter of the tubing which will be connected to the gas outlets
is important and is determined by the length of tubing required. Failure
to follow these recommendations could lead to pressure between
generator and application.
