1Introduction to the Preparative Pump

Introduction to the Preparative Pump

The preparative pump is a cam driven pump, with fixed stroke and two

parallel pistons, each with (identical ball and seat) inlet and outlet valve. Each

of the two pump pistons is capable of delivering a maximum of 50 ml/min flow

at up to 400 bar pressure.

The two cams have overlapping delivery cycles. Compression losses are

calculated and smooth delivery is ensured through variation of the motor

speed over the pump cycle.

The pistons are guided through two seals each. The gap between those seals is

connected to capillary fittings, this way seal wash is not only an option, but

integral part of every pump. A peristaltic pump, to automate seal wash, is also

part of the system.

Introduction to the Preparative Pump

Hydraulic Path Overview

The pump flow leaving the pump head passes through the multi-assembly,

which combines the flow of the two pistons, filters the solvent and contains a

pressure sensor to monitor system pressure. No hydraulic damper is included

in the system. This makes very fast gradients possible. From the

multi-assembly the flow is routed to the purge valve and from there either

directly into waste or on to the next module (normally injection valve or

sampling device).

Gradients are formed with two combined pumps, as high pressure gradients.

The combined flow, is flowing through a passive mixer, to smooth composition.

With its high pressure mixing principle gradient systems and the usually high

flow rates, no degassing of solvents is necessary.

To avoid outgassing in the detector cell a back pressure regulating device is

recommended for applications that demand it.

How Does Compressibility Compensation Work?

The compressibility of the solvents in use will affect retention-time stability

when the back pressure in the system changes (for example, ageing of

column). In order to minimize this effect, the pump provides a compressibility

compensation feature which optimizes the flow stability according to the

solvent type. The compressibility compensation is set to a default value and

can be changed through the user interface.

Without a compressibility compensation the following will happen during a

stroke of the first piston. The pressure in the piston chamber increases and

the volume in the chamber will be compressed depending on backpressure and

solvent type. The volume displaced into the system will be reduced by the

compressed volume.

When a compressibility compensation value for the pump head is set, the

pump processor calculates a compensation volume that depends on the

system pressure and the selected compressibility value. The pump has a fixed

stroke. To compensate for compressibility losses, the speed of the piston

movement has to be varied during the different parts of each stroke.
