It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are a factor that cannot be built into this equipment, but must be supplied by the operator. Warning Fire Hazard Failure to follow the prescribed procedures may result in a hazardous situation. Operate 5D generator on firm, stable, and level surface. Tipping the unit may cause liquid aerosol reagent to spill, leading to BURNS or FIRE. NEVER move the generator once it is producing aerosol. Take caution against liquid aerosol reagent spillage. If reagent spills, 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, helium or argon. ENSURE compressed inert gas connections are secure. DO NOT drain the liquid aerosol reagent until the generator has cooled to room temperature. DO NOT open the fill cap until pressure has been removed at the source AND the Purge Button has been used to completely purge the generator. DO NOT USE liquid aerosol reagents other than those specified. Contact ATI Customer/Technical Service for questions regarding use of other liquid aerosol reagents. 5D - User Manual 7

10 Warning Burn Hazard Severe burns may occur if in contact with the output collar. DO NOT remove filler cap while generator is on. Should the oil tank need replenishing during testing, turn off the propellant at the bottle and purge the generator prior to removing the filler cap. DO NOT perform maintenance until the generator has cooled to room temperature. Caution Hot Surfaces The Output Hose Collar may be HOT and dangerous if in contact with flammable objects.

Warning High Pressure Gas Hazard Always allow gas in the line to DEPRESSURIZE before disconnecting the gas line at the generator. 5D - User Manual 8

11 CHAPTER 2 Thermal Aerosol Generator Overview How the Generator Operates The ATI 5D Thermal Aerosol Generator operates on a condensation principle. The liquid aerosol reagent is vaporized upon entering the capillary heat transfer assembly. Vaporization occurs in the presence of an inert gas. After vaporization, the vapor is expelled from the capillary heat transfer assembly and rapidly cooled to ambient temperatures. The vapor condensation (also referred to as quenching) occurs immediately at the 5D Output Hose Collar Assembly before sufficient ambient atmosphere is present to enable combustion. This quenching requirement, inherent in thermal condensation generators, makes an airgap necessary between the aerosol output and the system the aerosol is entering for testing. The 5D has built-in air quenching holes behind the output collar. These air-quenching holes should never be closed off or covered by introduction ports. The ATI 5D Thermal Aerosol Generator is available with 120V or 240V configurations and is set up for both PAO-4 (including DOS, Ondina, and mineral oil) and DOP liquid aerosol reagent. 5D - User Manual 9
