4. Insert the neutralizer with the long tube up and the screws in
the side of the neutralizer aligned with the slots in the
neutralizer mounting block as shown in Figure 2-2.
5. Replace the outlet block in the Classifier and push down. If the
block does not fit over the neutralizer tubes easily, do not force
it—you will damage the O-rings and cause a leak—try steps 2
and 3 again.
6. Replace the screws in the outlet block. The outlet block should
be flush with the cabinet top and the pop-up flag indicating that
the neutralizer is installed should be visible as shown in
Figure 2-3.

pressure drop across the impactor is proportional to the square of
the flow rate.
The impactor assembly is attached to the aerosol inlet of the
Classifier using a Swagelok
