The alcohol evaporator is also referred to herein as evaporator. 2. SALIENT CHARACTERISTICS 2.1 Material. The material used to make the evaporator sh
5、all be compatible with commercial grade methyl alcohol (methanol) and shall be corrosion resistant or treated to resist corrosion. Cadmium plating is not acceptable. The container shall be made of shatter resistant material. The use of recovered material made in compliance with regulatory requiremen
6、ts is acceptable providing that all requirements of this CID are met (see 3). 2.2 Design and construction. The assembly shall be constructed so that no part will work loose in service and shall be built to withstand the strains, jars, vibrations and other conditions in shipping, storage, installatio
7、n service, and environment. The configuration and dimensions of the evaporator are not limited to the construction features other than as shown in figure 1. 2.2.1 Container capacity. The fluid capacity of the container shall be approximately one pint and shall be detachable by means of a glass jar t
8、ype screw thread. 2.3 Performance. 2.3.1 Working temperature. The evaporator shall be operable in ambient temperatures of -35 to +120 degrees Fahrenheit (F).
