5.3.3 Storage tank connection
To connect the storage tanks, proceed as follows:
Cut the solaflex tube into pieces of the appropriate length (use an acid resistant tube, if acid is •
dosed).
Insert a PTFE suction tube into the solaflex tube.•
Push an EPDM sealing ring over the solaflex tube.•
Now fasten the tubes to the tank with the red screw cover.•
Connect the tubes at the appropriate connections at the instrument side and secure them with the •
clamps.
The “H
2
O” storage tank may be used to feed both the steam generator pump as well as the sample
tube pump. For this purpose the Y hose coupling can be used.

All pumps are self-priming, no overpressure is necessary at the tanks.
ATTENTION
To ensure proper system functioning, consider the following:
Use only distilled water for the H•
2
O storage tank to keep the steam generator maintenance-free.
Make sure that the tanks are connected correctly. If the wrong tank (e. g. reagent tank containing •
NaOH) is connected to the pump labelled „H
2
O steam“, the steam generator will be damaged.
