Liquid Injection Valve Component Locations - Siemens Maxum II PD PA AP Service Manual

Valves
4.2 Liquid Injection Valve
● A sample that contains non-volatile or easily polymerized components (salts, proteins,
monomers etc.) can deposit residues in the vaporizer (16), in the injection hole, on the
sample flow unit (15), and on the injection stem (6). Therefore, these parts should be
cleaned regularly if the sample contains materials which are not vaporized.
● The sample flow unit (15) should be oriented vertically when the valve is installed. This is
so that the sample will flow vertically through the valve to prevent air bubbles from forming
in the valve. Make note of this when reinstalling the valve after service.
