1.3.4 DO NOT OPERATE IN A FLAMMABLE ATMOSPHERE:
To avoid fire or explosion, do not operate this device in an
explosive environment or near flammable anesthetics.
1.3.5 Device Labeling
Do not, under any circumstances, remove any Caution, Warning, or
other descriptive labels from the devices until the conditions
warranting the label are eliminated.
Operating definitions are provided to help you further understand
your machine:
Permeate Rate [Product Water Rate (Qp)]
Permeate rate is the flow rate of purified water which has passed
through the membrane and out of the membrane element;
expressed in gal/min (gpm) or gal/hr (gph) [in metric, liter/min (Lpm)
or cubic meters/hour (m3/h)]. Specified permeate rates are
normally at 77F (25C).
Concentrate Rate [Waste Water Rate (Qc)]
Concentrate rate is the flow rate of water containing rejected solids
to drain in gpm or gph (Lpm or m3/h).
Feed Rate (Qf)
Feed rate is the flow rate of incoming water in gpm or gph (Lpm or
m3/h). Feedwater rate equals permeate rate plus concentrate rate.
Recovery
Recovery is the percentage (%) of feedwater converted to
permeate. For example, 75% recovery means that out of a given
feed rate, 75% is produced as pure water (permeate).
Concentration
Concentration equals the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) of any
stream (feedwater, concentrate or permeate) of a solution
expressed as milligrams per liter (mg/L) or conductivity
(microSiemens/cm).
