To assemble the HP4750 stirred cell:
1. Wet the O-rings with a small amount of
water or the fluid to be processed.
Note: HP4750 Stirred Cells are shipped
with Buna O-rings and gaskets by default;
other materials such as Viton and PTFE are
available as options. Table 3 outlines O-ring
and gasket material compatibility.
2. Insert the O-rings in the bottom of the cell
body (Photo 1 & 2). Check to be certain
that the O-rings it properly in the grooves.
3. Place a piece of precut membrane over
the center O-ring. The membrane should
be installed with the active side toward
the cell reservoir. In general, membranes
coated on substrate have a shiny, active
side and a dull, substrate side (Photo 3).
4. Place the stainless steel porous membrane
support disk on top of the membrane to
hold the membrane in place (Photo 4).
Note: If you cut your own membranes, the
stainless steel porous disk can be used as a
template. See Appendix 3 for more details.
3. STIRRED CELL ASSEMBLY
After verifying that all of the necessary components were shipped and present, you can
begin the assembly of the stirred cell.
