The V-Seals in the Partisol 2000
i
and 2000
i
-D Samplers require periodic
maintenance. The V-seals should be checked every four weeks and replaced
as necessary. In addition, anytime there is a suspected leak in the system
that can be attributed to the V-seals, they should be checked and replaced if
necessary.
The V-seal cleaning and replacement procedures for the Partisol 2000
i
and
2000
i
-D are similar. The Partisol 2000
i
has one pair of V-seals in the filter
tray and the Partisol 2000
i
-D has two pairs for V-seals. In addition, the
2000
i
-D has a V-seal in the inlet adapter.
