Agilent InfinityLab LC Series Vialsamplers User Manual 36
2 Site Requirements and Specifications
Site Requirements
Room Size and Ventilation
Bench Space
The module dimensions and weight (see Table 1 on page 38) allow you to place
the module on almost any desk or laboratory bench. It needs an additional
2.5
cm (1.0 inches) of space on either side and approximately 8 cm (3.1 inches)
in the rear for air circulation and electric connections.
If the bench shall carry a complete HPLC system, make sure that the bench is
designed to bear the weight of all modules.
The module should be operated in a horizontal position, especially if a Sample
Cooler or Sample Thermostat is installed. Use a bubble level to check the leveling
of the sampler.
Flammable refrigerant
Formation of flammable gas-air mixtures inside the Sample Thermostat
and laboratory.
Keep open fire or sources of ignition away from the device.
Ensure a room size of 4 m
3
(1 m
3
for every 8 g of R600a refrigerant
inside of the Sample Thermostat).
Ensure adequate ventilation: typical air exchange of 25 m
3
/h per m
2
of
laboratory floor area.
Keep all ventilation openings in the enclosure clear of obstructions. Do
not block the openings on the circumference of the Sample Thermostat.
Agilent recommends that you install the HPLC instrument in the InfinityLab Flex
Bench rack. This option helps to save bench space as all modules can be placed
into one single stack. It also allows to easily relocate the instrument to another
laboratory.
