Unpacking and Setting Up the CPC 2-3
Figure 2-1
View of Fill Bottle Bracket Mounting
Find the Fill Bottle in the accessory kit. Connect the bottle tube
fitting to the Butanol Fill port at the back panel of the instrument.
Position the bottle with the fitting oriented for minimal stress on the
tubing connector on the back panel and place the bottle in the
bracket. Both mated fittings are leak-tight when disconnected.
Filling the Fill Bottle with Butanol
The CPC uses reagent-grade n-butyl alcohol (butanol) as the
working fluid for particle growth. Pour the butanol into the Fill
Bottle to at least one-third full. Because of the leak-tight fittings
and internal solenoid valve, liquid will not flow into the CPC until
the connections are made, the instrument is switched on, and the
warm-up cycle is complete.
Note: Due to shipping regulations on flammable materials, n-butyl
alcohol (butanol) is not supplied with the CPC. Butanol may be
purchased from scientific chemical supply houses. Reagent
grade butanol is required.
Connecting the Butanol Drain Bottle
A drain bottle should be connected to the Liquid Drain port at the
back panel of the CPC. The drain bottle collects butanol drained
from the CPC prior to transport and holds condensed water and
butanol removed from the condenser when the water removal
system is turned on (see note below). Draining butanol is described
in Chapter 8 “
Maintenance and Service”.
