Vapor Volume Calculator; Setting Parameters For The S/Sl Split Mode - Agilent Technologies 7890 Series Advanced Operation Manual

Vapor Volume Calculator

Setting parameters for the S/SL split mode

Advanced Operation Manual
Agilent provides a Vapor Volume Calculator to help you
determine if a liner is suitable for a method. To use the
calculator install the Agilent Instrument utility provided with
the GC. The calculator is also provided with the Agilent
Instrument Utilities software.
Mode The current operating mode—split
Temperature Actual and setpoint inlet temperatures
Pressure Actual and setpoint inlet pressure
Split ratio The ratio of split vent flow to column flow.
Column flow is set at the Column parameter list. This line
appears only if your columns in the flow path are defined.
Split flow Flow, in mL/min, from the split vent. This line
appears only if your columns in the flow path are defined.
Total flow This is the total flow into the inlet, which is the
sum of the split vent flow, column flow, and septum purge flow.
When you change the total flow, the split ratio and split vent flow
change while the column flow and pressure remain the same.
Septum Purge Flow, in mL/min, through the septum purge
line. Recommended range is 1 to 5 mL/min.
If all columns in the flow path are defined
Press [Front Inlet] or [Back Inlet].
1
Scroll to Mode: and press [Mode/Type]. Select Split.
2
Set the inlet temperature.
3
If you want a specific split ratio, scroll to Split ratio and
4
enter that number. Split flow will be calculated for you.
If you want a specific split flow, scroll to Split flow and
5
enter that number. Split ratio will be calculated for you.
If desired, turn on Gas saver. Set Saver time after the
6
injection time. Press [Prep Run] (see
Run" on page 40) before manually injecting the sample.
