assume that all particles smaller than the cut-off size pass through
and all larger particles become trapped in the grit pot.
The cut-off size for any cyclone is dependent on flow rate.
!
C a u t i o n
It is very important that the sample flow rate through the
SidePak monitor be set at 1.7 liters per minute (L/min). If
some other flow rate is set, the cut-off size will be
unknown.
1. Be sure that you have the standard inlet (unmarked) installed on
the SidePak AM510 body and that there is no impactor insert
inside.
2. Attach the cyclone and the same sample tube you intend to use
onto the AM510 inlet.
3. Adjust the flow rate of the AM510 to 1.7 L/min. See the Operation
chapter for instructions on how to set the flow rate.
The SidePak monitor and cyclone are now ready to use. Attach the
cyclone to the individual test subject's clothing using the U-tube and
clip provided with the cyclone.
Cleaning the Cyclone
The 10-mm Nylon Dorr-Oliver Cyclone should be cleaned prior to
each use. In most cases, simply cleaning the grit pot will be all
that is needed. Inspect the inside of the cyclone body regularly
and clean it if necessary.
1. Unscrew the grit pot from the bottom of the cyclone. Remove
the stainless steel cyclone clip and pull the cap off.
2. Hold the open end of the grit pot down and tap it on a hard
surface to dislodge particles. Repeat with the cyclone body.
Note: If dirt is visible inside either the grit pot or the cyclone
body, it may be necessary to blow compressed air into
the cyclone parts and/or to clean them with soap and
water. A mild solvent like isopropanol may also be
used. Make certain that the cyclone is perfectly dry
before using it.
3. Re-assemble the cyclone. Note that the stainless steel
cyclone clip that holds the cap onto the body will only fit one
way. The cyclone cleaning procedure is now completed.
