Manually Controlled Inlet; Split Mode - Agilent Technologies 6890 Series Service Manual

Manually controlled inlet

Split mode

For a manual inlet in split mode, V1 is a manually regulated mass flow
controller that controls total inlet flow. PCV is a three-way purge control valve
that remains in the normally open position to allow flow out of the split vent.
V2 is a manually controlled back pressure regulator in the split vent path
controlling the inlet pressure and thus, flow through the column. SPR is a
manually controlled septum purge regulator used to control the septum purge
flow. This flow is set to approximately 3.0 mL/minute for operation.
