Inlets 8
Advanced User Guide 179
You can do column pressure and flow programming when in the
pressure pulse mode. However, the pressure pulse will take
precedence over the column pressure or flow ramp.
Split/Splitless inlet split mode minimum operating pressures
The minimum recommended inlet total flow is 20 mL/minute.
When the split/splitless inlet is operated in Split mode, there
will be a minimum pressure at which the inlet can operate.
Typically, low inlet pressures may be required for shorter, wide
bore columns. The minimum pressure is a function of carrier
gas type, total inlet flow, liner design, and possible
contamination of the split vent tube or trap.
A wide bore column requires a much lower inlet pressure than a
typical capillary column to maintain a given flow. Setting the
split ratio (total flow) too high when using a wide bore column
can create an unstable control relationship between the
pressure and flow control loops.
