It is a real simple setup too, as long as the flow meter doesn't interrupt solvent flow or psi and can withstand anhydrous MeOH, and furthermore have to ballpark adjust the flow rate of 378cc/min for H2O/alcohol respectively to anhydrous alcohols.

Their product seems reliable too - however they havent really been introduced to the Evo community yet.


Integrating the snow safe injection with an SMC kit is not proving easy. The trigger for the SMC kit is a progressive ground and it will not work on a realy. The xext step is a pressure switch that will turn on the safe injection @ 15 PSI which is after the bump has begun to spray. I have high hopes for this design. I will let you all know how it works out.
