Compressed Air Requirements
It is recommended to consult a professional compressed air supplier
to ensure that your compressed air quality meets the ISO
requirements. Most basic industrial or domestic installations will not
meet these requirements. Using compressed air that does not meet
Agilent’s specification may result in damage or malfunction of the
Agilent 4100 MP-AES or Agilent 4107 Nitrogen Generator.
Two different qualities of compressed air are required for the Agilent
4100 MP-AES.
The air quality for the Agilent 4107 Nitrogen Generator will typically
require an oil free compressor followed by a dryer stage to remove
water from the compressed air. The Nitrogen Generator is supplied
with a regulator/filter assembly to ensure particulate matter is
removed.
The compressed air for the pre-optics protection (POP) Gas, EGCM
and Monochromator Air Purge will require additional filtration after
the drying stage. This is the responsibility of the customer as part of
the compressed air system installation.
