2.12 DC Temperature Control Zones
The following temperature control zones are possible with the DC, depending
on the options installed:
•
DC upper compartment
•
DC lower compartment
•
Heated conductivity cell
•
IC Cube capillary column heater
•
RCH-1 Reaction Coil Heater (installed in an AM)
The temperatures achieved for a particular zone can vary from the control
range, depending on the ambient temperature (see
Table 2-3) .
Temperature
Zone Control
Range Achieved Temperatures (Based on Ambient)
Upper
compartment 10 to
40 °C • If no temperature-controlled devices (CD cell,
IC Cube heater, or RCH-1) are on:
Minimum temperature

(ambient

22 °C)
• If a temperature-controlled device is set to
60 °C or above:
Minimum temperature

(ambient

17 °C).
Note: The achieved temperature can be
reduced another few degrees by setting the DC
upper compartment fan speed to high (see
page 64 ).
