5.5 Emptying the Collection Vessel - Changing
Solvent
A solvent level indicator is located on the right side of the instrument. Empty the ves-
sel at least at the end of the day and of course when the indicator shows full. Use the
emptying tube and the valve on the right side of the instrument. See Fig. 5:15 and
Fig. 5:16.

tube and the valve in open position.

5.5.1 Emptying the Collection Vessel
Warning
Non-polar materials such as hydrocarbon solvents accumulate
static charges readily as they have high insulating values and do
not allow the charge to leak away. The distance between the
opening of the Teflon tube used to empty the collection vessel
(maximum length 500 mm, I.D. 8 mm) and the flask in which the
solvent is collected should therefore be as short as possible. The
preferred technique is to lower the tube close to the bottom of
the flask and into the solvent to equalize charges. Avoid free-fall-
ing solvent, as this may be dangerous.
