Manually controlled inlet
In a manually controlled purged packed inlet, carrier gas flow enters through
the mass flow controller, into the top of the inlet. The septum purge regulator
(SPR) in the septum purge line, determines the fraction of the stream that is
split off to purge the septum. This fraction of the stream then flows out
through the purge vent. The majority of the carrier stream enters the inlet
insert and then the column.
