Section 2 Preparation
17. Feed the solvent line assembly through the hole in the cap. The weighted inlet
should rest at the bottom of the container.
2.9.2 Pressurized Solvent Lines in the Laboratory
When receiving solvent from pressurized lines on-site, the Torrent’s solvent level
sensing feature is unsupported (and unnecessary).
Note
The solvent pressure should be regulated to not exceed 5 psi.
To complete the solvent connections:
1. Ensure that the solvent supply lines have shut-off valves. These valves must be
accessible to the user.
Note
The solvent supply should be shut-off when the system is not in use. Otherwise,
pressurized solvent may be forced through the Combi
Flash
Torrent pump seals and leak
from the waste port or other fluid path from the automated injection valve.
2. Locate the
1
8
-inch plug, part number 209-0165-21, in accessory kit 60-5249-002.
Install this plug on the B Prime port.
3. Connect user-supplied tubing with
3
8
-inch fittings from the source to the A Inlet
and B Inlet ports on the side panel.
Note
Solvent Level Sensing and B Solvent Prime options should be disabled when completing
the system configuration settings in section 2.13.1.
2.10 Connect Waste Lines
WARNING
Risk of fire or equipment damage. Failure to connect Waste Port tubing may allow
organic solvents to pool in unsafe areas, possibly creating dangerous levels of
flammable vapors.
CAUTION
Elevated flammable vapor levels are possible. Ensure that the waste container is
adequately ventilated, preferably by placing it in a fume hood.
Note
The Torrent is shipped with protective caps on the waste fittings. Remove these caps as
you connect the waste lines. The internal solvent lines contain isopropyl alcohol, some of
which may drain when the caps are removed.
Note
Waste connections on the left side panel are labeled with a Waste icon.
The waste tube assembly is a bundle of two tubes that routes post-run
valve wash fluid to a waste container. Instructions for diverter valve waste tubing is
covered in the P
To connect the waste tube assembly to the Torrent:
