Flow Control
Operation
With EFC installed there is one additional screen to program accessed by
pressing the FLOW / PRESSURE key. Type 3 EFC allows the user to set a
constant flow or to program the column flow. The status field displays the
column pressure, actual flow and column linear velocity. Note that type 3
actually sets a required carrier flow into the injector/column system. A leak
in the system would be indicated to the user by a drop in inlet pressure.

The screen above represents a typical application of type 3 EFC with an
isothermal injector. Normally this type of injection system is maintained at
constant flow during the analytical run. However, if required the flow rate
could be programmed during the run.
Testing the 1041 Injector
The most effective method of testing injector performance is by running a
test sample. The following procedure describes how to test the performance
of the 1041 on column injector. This is best done with a test sample
containing an appropriate set of components for the installed detector. The
following table lists the series of test samples available for Varian GC
detectors.
Note:
Due to airline regulations, test samples are not shipped outside the USA.
Refer to the compound concentrations in the table below to make your own test
samples.
