CARRIER GAS TYPE
Selection: He/N2/H2/Ar, Default: He
Specify the carrier gas type supplied to the AFC.
This parameter is used for the measurement/control of the flow rate.
If this parameter is not set correctly, flow rate calculations may not be performed
correctly.
(Example: If this parameter is set to “N
2” when He is actually used, the displayed total
flow rate, column flow rate and linear velocity are lower than the actual values.)
1. Set the column inlet pressure and total flow rate so that they are within the ranges shown in
Fig. 12.2.5.
The ranges differ according to the columns to be used and purge flow rates.
2. The column flow rate ranges from 0 to the value at which the calculated column inlet pressure is
970 kPa or less and the calculated total flow rate is 1,200 ml/min.
3. The linear velocity ranges from 0 to the value at which the calculated column inlet pressure is
970 kPa or less.
