4-2 Model 3076 Constant Output Atomizer
To change the particle size, you must empty the bottle, clean the
bottle and Atomizer, fill the bottle with new solution (having a
different concentration), and start the Atomizer as before.
Operating in the Nonrecirculation Mode
To feed solution, select the running speed for a given size of syringe
that corresponds to the desired liquid feed rate: higher running
speeds yield higher flow rates for a given size of syringe.
When using the nonrecirculation mode, follow these five steps:
1. Fill the syringe with the solution you want to atomize (e.g., 50
cubic centimeters of solution); install the syringe on the syringe
pump.
2. Connect the air supply to the Atomizer. Adjust the pressure to
35 psig or less.
!
WARNING
Do not operate the Atomizer with an outlet pressure exceeding 10 psig in a
closed system. Operating the Atomizer with an outlet pressure greater than
10 psig may result in damage to the plastic-coated glass bottle, which can shatter
and cause serious personal injury. The atomizer is equipped with a pressure
relief safety valve that releases pressures above 10 psig from within the bottle.
Never block the outlet of this valve or remove the valve from the bottle cap.
3. Switch on the syringe pump. Wait until the solution fills the
liquid feed tubing and enters the Atomizer assembly. A fast
running mode may be available to speed up the filling process
depending on the syringe pump that you use.
4. The generator is now in operation. Its operation will be stable
until the solution in the syringe runs out. The stable operation
time depends on the volume and feed rate of the syringe. For
example, with a 50 cubic centimeter syringe and a feed rate of
0.59 cubic centimeters per minute, the maximum operating
time is about 1 hour. At higher feed rates, the particle
concentration is higher and the operation of the Atomizer is
more stable; however, the maximum operation time is naturally
shorter.
