Location and Exhaust Requirements
The CentriVap micro IR Concentrator should be located on a surface that is
stable, flat and level.
WARNING: The CentriVap Concentrator should be located within a fume
hood if hazardous or flammable solvents are used. Heating of materials
could lead to the liberation of hazardous gases. In all cases, regardless of the
solvent used, it is strongly recommended that the vacuum pump is vented in
a fume hood. A glass trap is included with the unit to minimize the
exhausting of solvents into the atmosphere but if flammable solvent are used
a secondary trap is recommended. See Chapter 6 for available accessories.
The use of the glass traps does not negate the need to exhaust the vacuum
pump into a fume hood. Failure to properly vent the CentriVap will expose
personnel to potentially harmful chemicals.
The CentriVap has not been evaluated by an approval agency for the use of
biological, radio toxins or flammable liquids or materials.
Space Requirements
Refer to Appendix C: CentriVap micro IR Specifications for dimensional
drawings of the CentriVap micro IR.
No person or any hazardous material should be within 12 inches of the CentriVap
Concentrator while it is operating.
