Venting the exhaust hose 2-9
Vapor trap bottle
Exhaust Venting Requirements
Requirement:
Ensure the instrument’s exhaust hose runs straight down,
toward the bench top, a minimum of 61 cm (24 inches).
• Attach the vapor trap bottle to the end of the exhaust hose.
• Place the vapor trap bottle’s exit hose close to an evacuation source, but
do not apply a vacuum.
Caution:
• Failure to use the vapor trap could result in too strong a vacuum,
which could adversely affect the vapor flow through the drift tube.
This could cause loss of sensitivity and excessive high-frequency
noise in the baseline.
• To avoid condensate flowing backward into the detector and thus
damaging it, run at least 61 cm (24 inches) of the instrument’s
exhaust hose vertically toward the bench top.
