Safety
This section gives instructions to promote safe and proper handling
of the Model 3076 Constant Output Atomizer.
The Model 3076 Constant Output Atomizer is designed to release
aerosol to a system that is at atmospheric pressure. Therefore, the
pressure at the outlet of the Atomizer should be maintained close to
atmospheric pressure (below 10 psig).
The atomizer is equipped with a pressure relief valve that actuates
whenever the pressure in the bottle exceeds 10 psig. The valve will
reseal when pressure in the bottle is reduced below 10 psig.
However:
Do not operate the Atomizer with an outlet pressure exceeding
10 psig in a closed system. Operating the Atomizer above this
pressure may result in damage to the plastic-coated glass
bottle, which can shatter and cause serious personal injury.
Experiments have shown the plastic-coated glass bottle may
explode at pressures exceeding 80 psig. Before applying
compressed air to the Atomizer, check your system to ensure no
blockage of the Atomizer can occur at the Atomizer outlet.
The plastic-coated glass bottle may weaken or develop cracks
from shock, excessive use, or chemical attack, resulting in
fractures at pressures well below 80 psig. Before attaching the
bottle to your system, check the bottle to ensure there is no
structural weakness. If you suspect your bottle is damaged,
contact TSI Incorporated for replacement information.
Note: Refer to Chapter 6 of this manual for instructions on
contacting technical personnel at TSI.

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.
