Burner Maintenance Checklist
Burner Maintenance Checklist
Maintenance checklists for the burner system are presented below.
Burner system, maintenance checklist
If you analyze samples that have 'dirty' matrices, such as blood, sugar or oil, you
will probably have to clean the components more often than if you were analyzing
'clean' samples, such as drinking water.
Part Maintenance
Burner system Always rinse the burner system correctly before extinguishing the flame.
If you are analyzing samples with high solids content: Clean the burner
chamber at least once daily.
If you are using organic solvents: Clean the burner chamber before you switch
to aqueous solutions. Empty the drain vessel and dispose of hazardous
solutions properly.
If you are analyzing samples containing high concentrations of copper, silver,
or mercury: Thoroughly flush the burner chamber and drain tube immediately
after completing such analyses. Empty the drain vessel and dispose of
hazardous solutions properly.
Burner head Inspect the burner head for deposits before igniting the flame. The burner should
provide an even flame over the length of the burner slot. An uneven flame may
indicate that the slot needs cleaning. See the section on cleaning procedures later
in this chapter.
Check the width of the burner slot periodically.
Nebulizer If there is an obstruction in the nebulizer, clear it using a copper cleaning wire.
Drain system Flush the drain system thoroughly at the end of each working day by pouring
water down the neck of the burner chamber. Make sure to remove the flow
spoiler from the burner chamber so that all the water drains out.
