  • Page 13 FTS Systems Titan-Trap™ Installation and Startup Connect your process system to the 1/2-inch fitting on top of the glass dome using an appropriate length of vacuum tubing. Secure the connection with a hose clamp. If your process system utilizes a connection with a different fitting size, you will need to procure an appropriate adapter.
  • Page 14: Vacuum Filters

    Installation and Startup FTS Systems Titan-Trap™ Vacuum Filters SP Scientific suggests that you install an Oil Mist Eliminator (OME) to reduce fumes exhausted by the vacuum pump. If an OME is not available, vent the vacuum exhaust externally. Additionally, vacuum filter traps are available for installation between the vacuum pump and the Titan-Trap unit.

    When the Titan-Trap has reached operating temperature and vacuum, enable your process system as required. For example, if you are using a vacuum concentrator, begin spinning your samples. Observe your product to determine when your process is complete. Rev 007, 04/12 © SP Scientific 2012...
