Site Requirements Site selection: The apparatus should be positioned in the laboratory with convenient access to:


z Hot and cold water supply (if the optional E4860 Recirculating Heater/Chiller are not used)


z Mains power supply (for E4860 only) z Fume cupboard or window, or an area of good ventilation z Space for CO2


siphon cylinder CO2 Cylinder: The E3100 requires a cylinder of liquid CO2 fitted with a


siphon tube (indicated by a vertical white stripe on the cylinder). If there is any doubt regarding the presence of a siphon tube, advice should be sought from the gas supplier.


Cylinder connection threads vary from country to country and even between manufacturers in the same country. For example, the transfer pipe supplied is fitted with ¼" British Standard Pipe (BSP) and 0.86" x 14 TPI union. These are standard threads for the UK and generally in the rest of the world, but will not fit cylinders in the USA.


TEM Grid Holder


Heating and cooling: Use a mixer to the laboratory hot and cold water outlets, terminating with a 6mm/¼" hose connection for the PVC tubing supplied. A ‘Y’ piece connected to the hot and cold water taps is also suitable.


The E3100 requires both hot and cold water during the operating cycle. Cooling facilitates filling of the work chamber with liquid CO2 required to take the liquid above its critical point.


, and heating is


Good control of the water temperature is essential for good results, hence the recommended use of the the E4860 Recirculating Heater/Chiller which gives precise control of cooling and heating.


Space requirement: A minimum bench space of approximately 230 x 230mm is required.
