Laboratory Facilities
46 Agilent 5100 and 5110 ICP-OES Site Preparation Guide
The instrument is equipped with a water flow sensor, which will stop
operation of the plasma if the cooling water flow through the
instrument drops below 1.7 L/min (0.45 gpm). A second water flow
sensor will stop the camera Peltier cooling assembly if the water flow
through the instrument drops below 0.2 L/min (0.05 gpm).
CAUTION
Always ensure the water cooling system is on before igniting the plasma.
Location
Many water chillers are designed to be located and operated indoors.
Consult the water chiller’s literature for more information before
installing.
A 60 cm (24 inch) space must keep clear on the left and right side
and above the chiller for enough air flow to allow for sufficient
cooling.
The coolant supply and return hoses of the ICP-OES are 5.0 meters
(10 feet) in length. The inner diameter of the return hose is 12 mm
(1/2 inch). The inner diameter of the supply hose is 12 mm (1/2
inch). The ICP-OES is supplied with ½ inch NPT male fittings for
connection to the G8481A Agilent Water Chiller. It is the customers
responsibility to supply appropriate fittings for other chilled water
supplies.
Please see the Agilent website for part numbers for ordering
additional hose by the meter and clamps: www.agilent.com
After the water cooling requirements have been met, check the checklist box: Water
cooling/circulation system and power connections are set up.
