5 Maintenance
Regular maintenance of the device extends the service life and improves
operational reliability.
Under normal operation conditions the AGK 2000 is almost maintenance-free.
The filter placed in front of the nozzle should be exchanged if the volume flow
rate of the generator clearly decreases below the nominal value.
The cyclone can be disassembled for cleaning purposes. After loosening the
screws of the cyclone cap with integrated outlet tube, it can be taken apart and
the inner part of the cyclone can be cleaned. Please work carefully so that the
plastic surface is not scratched or damaged. A suitable solvent together with a
soft cloth or soft brush should be used. Please ensure that the tangential
aerosol inlet bore is not clogged with fluff from cloth or paper. The generator is
reassembled in reverse order.
Note
After using the instrument with salt suspensions, e.g. NaCL or KCl, the
instrument must be flashed with distillated water. Therefore please exchange
the liquid reservoir and let the generator operate approx. 10 or 15 minutes at a
pre-pressure of at least 2 bar. Within the distillated water the salt is flashed out
of the tubing and nozzle.
If this procedure was forgotten, it is possible to dismount the dispersion nozzle
and clean it within an ultra sonic bath.
Therefore the four screws at the nozzle have to be removed and the dispersion
nozzle hast o be taken carefully out by pulling. If you reassemble the dispersion
nozzle please take care that the part with the opening is facing in the direction
of the liquid tubing.
