116 Advanced Operation Manual
3 Inlets
Vent flow The flow of carrier gas out the split vent during
the vent period. Higher flows sweep the liner more quickly
and reduce the time for solvent elimination. For most
columns, 100 mL/min vent flow eliminates solvent at an
acceptable rate but puts minimal material on the column.
Vent end time The time, measured from Start Run, when
solvent venting ends. For large volume injections, this time is
normally greater than the time for the injection to complete.
Purge time The time, measured from Start Run, when
sample transfer ends. It began at Vent end time.
Purge flow The flow of carrier gas to the inlet beginning at
Purge time.
Total f l ow The actual flow into the inlet.
Septum Purge Flow through the septum purge vent
Gas saver On to reduce split vent flow at Saver time
Saver flow Reduced split vent flow, at least 15 mL/min
Saver time Time when flow is reduced to save gas
If the column is defined
1 Press [Front Inlet].
2 Scroll to Mode: and press [Mode/Type]. Select Solvent vent.
3 Enter a Vent pressure, a Vent flow, and a Vent end time.
4 Set the inlet temperature and ramps, as desired.
5 Enter a Purge time and a Purge flow.
6 If desired, turn Gas saver on. Make certain the time is set
after the Purge time.
