Inlets 3
Advanced Operation Manual 111
Stage 2. Sample transfer
When solvent venting ends, the split valve vent closes and
the inlet heats to Final temperature 1. The sample transfers to
the capillary column during Purge delay time.
Stage 3. Purge and cleanup
The split valve opens again and the system returns to the
Stage 1 configuration but with different setpoints. The PTV
inlet is flushed. Additional ramp rates are available to
thermally clean the inlet or to reduce inlet temperature after
sample transfer. This can extend the life of the liner.
Temperature, pressure, and flow considerations
The solvent vent mode goes through three distinct pneumatic
states; venting, sample transfer, and purging. The vent
portion allows the inlet pressure and the vent flow to be
adjusted to optimize solvent elimination. The transfer state
