Introduction
Leak and Waste Handling
The solvent cabinet is designed to store a maximum volume of 6 L solvent.
The maximum volume for an individual bottle stored in the solvent cabinet
should not exceed 4 L. For details, see the usage guideline for the Agilent
1200 Infinity Series Solvent Cabinets (a printed copy of the guideline has
been shipped with the solvent cabinet, electronic copies are available on
the Internet).
All leak plane outlets are situated in a consistent position so that all
Infinity and Infinity II modules can be stacked on top of each other. Waste
tubes are guided through a channel on the right hand side of the
instrument, keeping the front access clear from tubes.
The leak plane provides leak management by catching all internal liquid
leaks, guiding them to the leak sensor for leak detection, and passing
them on to the next module below, if the leak sensor fails. The leak sensor
in the leak plane stops the running system as soon as the leak detection
level is reached.
Solvent and condensate is guided through the waste channel into the
waste container:
• from the detector's flow cell outlet
• from the Multisampler needle wash port
• from the Sample Cooler (condensate)
• from the Seal Wash Sensor
• from the pump's Purge Valve or Multipurpose Valve
The waste tube connected to the leak pan outlet on each of the bottom
instruments guides the solvent to a suitable waste container.
