Abstract
A device for adding solvent to a pneumatic system comprises an inlet structure to receive solvent from a supply and a reservoir to hold solvent from the inlet structure. An outlet structure, which is in fluid communication with the reservoir, is designed to connect the reservoir to a pneumatic system. A first stop valve is disposed between the inlet structure and the reservoir, and a second stop valve is disposed between the reservoir and the outlet structure.
