Adjust the RTD height until the tip extends the desired distance from the
bottom of the lid to the desired depth into the removable Mixing Vessel. If
the RTD does not slide easily through the PTFE Sleeve, loosen the
Compression Nut.
Attach the L shaped end of the RTD cable to the back panel. The cable will
be pointed upward when properly attached to the back panel. Hand tighten
the connection.
Orient the RTD connector to align with pins in the RTD, push gently into
place, and tighten the nut to attach the RTD Cable to top of the RTD. Take
care not to damage the pins inside the RTD. Rotate the RTD until all twists
are removed. The RTD cable should form a smooth service loop similar to
the one shown in Figure 5.2.
Make sure to rotate the RTD cable to eliminate any twists.
Leaving twists in the cable length will reduce the life of the cable
and may reduce the life of the RTD
Tighten the Compression Nut on the Jacketed Vessel fixture lid until the
RTD is held snugly in place at the desired depth. The RTD should not slide
up or down relative to the Jacketed Vessel lid during resonant acoustic
mixing at high (i.e. 100
g
) accelerations.
If process vacuum is to be used, loosen the white compression nuts in the
back panel and thread each of the Vacuum Lines from the vacuum unit
through the back of the panel to form a gradual 90 degree arc (service loop)
down to the Jacketed Vessel fixture lid as shown in Figure 5.2.
Attach the Vacuum Lines to the compression fittings in the Jacketed Vessel
Lid by inserting the tubing as far into the lid as possible without forcing, and
tightening the compression nut. Then hand-tighten the white compression
nuts on the back panel, ensuring that the tubing forms a smooth arc as
pictured in Figure 5.2.
If process vacuum is not to be used, insert a PTFE Tube Plug (part number
102665) into the vacuum and sensor compression fittings on top of the lid.
Note that 2 spare Tube Plugs are included with the unit for times that the
vacuum lines are not connected.
With the Jacketed Vessel assembly clamped closed, check the vacuum and
heating/cooling transfer fluid circuits at full pressure and flow rate to make
sure they do not leak. Fix any leaks prior to use.
Isolate the Jacketed Vessel assembly from the vacuum pressure (if used)
and heating/cooling transfer fluid supply pressure (e.g. turn off the heat
transfer fluid pump).
