Place the free ends of the vent and drain lines into a waste container. To maintain
a positive siphon, position the waste container below the level of the EG.
NOTE To ensure proper drainage, each waste line must remain
above the liquid level in the waste container.
2.10 EG Flow Schematic
Figure 2-10 illustrates the liquid flow path through the EG.
Deionized water is delivered by the DP/SP to the EluGen cartridge. DC current is
applied to the cartridge to produce eluent.
The electrolytically-generated eluent flows through the Continuously Regenerated
Trap Column (CR-TC) into the RFIC Eluent Degasser, through the backpressure
coil (if installed), through the injection valve to the separator column, and finally
to the detector cell.
The detector cell effluent is directed through the Atlas or SRS suppressor
regenerant chamber to the CR-TC regenerant chamber, through the RFIC Eluent
Degasser inside the EG, and finally to waste.
