Venting Requirements

Created by paulsalverda paulsalverda 4 months ago | Last modified by kristen.sensabaugh kristen.sensabaugh 3 months ago

What should you consider when it comes to exhaust venting? 

  • GC - How will you be venting the solvent/sample waste?
    • Autosamplers (vents, vials, wash & waste)
    • GC inlet vents

  • Trap, split vent and 3 cartridges, part number RDT-1020 is an activated charcoal trap that gets plumbed onto the split vent to capture organics at the GC. These are useful even if your system has a snorkel before any contaminants get away from the GC.  A refill pack is available, part number RDT-1023.

               

  • MS - How will you be venting the rough pump exhaust?
    • Consider cooling airflow, waste venting, heat, very limited distance away from MS

  • How will you be handling the temperature in the lab?
    • Is the lab air conditioned and capable of handling GC oven exhaust heat and system heat? (See site preparation documentation for specifics)
    • Will there be a dedicated vent for the oven heater exhaust?
