Precautions

Warning – Fire Hazard

Failure to follow the prescribed procedures may result in
a hazardous situation.
 The generator must only be placed and used on firm,
stable, and level surfaces. Tipping of the unit may cause
liquid aerosol reagent spillage that can lead to BURNS
OR FIRE.
 NEVER move the generator once it is producing aerosol.

Take caution against liquid aerosol reagent spillage.
Always use a funnel. In case of spillage clean up
contamination immediately.
 DO NOT USE OXIDIZING OR FLAMMABLE GASES
SUCH AS COMPRESSED AIR. NEVER operate the
unit with anything except INERT GAS such as nitrogen,
carbon dioxide, or argon. Make sure all the compressed
gas connections are secure.
 DO NOT drain the liquid aerosol reagent until the
generator has completely cooled to ambient conditions.
 The 5C Thermal Aerosol Generator is factory pre-set for
liquid aerosol reagents specified by the part number. DO
NOT USE different liquid aerosol reagents other what is
specified. Contact ATI Customer/Technical Service for
questions regarding use of other liquid aerosol reagents.

Thermal Aerosol Generator
Overview
How the Generator Operates
The ATI 5C Thermal Aerosol Generator operates on a condensation
principal. The liquid aerosol reagent is vaporized upon entering the
heater block assembly. Vaporization occurs in the presence of an
inert gas. After vaporization, the vapor is expelled from the heater
block and allowed to rapidly cool to ambient temperatures.
The vapor condensation (also referred to as quenching) occurs
immediately at the 5C output collar before sufficient ambient
atmosphere is present to enable combustion. This quenching
requirement, inherent in thermal condensation generators, makes an
air-gap necessary between the aerosol output and the system the
aerosol is entering for testing. The 5C has built-in air quenching
holes behind the output collar that should never be closed off or
covered by introduction ports.

Note
The 5C Thermal Aerosol Generator is not intended for above-
ambient pressure systems.
