Agilent, G6600-80045, Replacement odor filtration element

The Agilent replacement odor filtration element is a service consumable used in the exhaust-handling arrangement of compatible sulfur and nitrogen chemiluminescence detector systems. Its purpose is odor control within the associated vacuum-pump exhaust filtration assembly, rather than analytical separation or removal of analytes from a GC sample. Exhaust filters require attention as a vacuum pump operates because oil mist, process residues, and other contaminants accumulate over time. A depleted odor-control element can contribute to unacceptable exhaust conditions even when the detector's analytical signal remains normal. Inspect the filter assembly during scheduled maintenance and replace the element with the correct matching component. Allow the pump and exhaust hardware to cool as applicable, use suitable protective equipment, and avoid inhaling trapped contaminants. The replacement element is not the complete vacuum pump or the separately supplied ozone-destruction chemical trap.
