1 GENERAL OVERVIEW
This manual, the 5000 Series Pump System User’s Manual, provides operating and maintenance
instructions for the “hardware” of all 5000 Series pump systems. A separate manual, the PumpWorks
User’s Manual, discusses the software which operates all Quizix pump systems.
This chapter provides an introduction to the 5000 Series Pump System and includes an overview of its
components.
1.1 Introduction
The 5000 Series Pump System provides continuous, pulse–free fluid flow for use in core analysis and
related research. Key features of the system include the following:
•
It is designed for pumping fluids at high pressure and provides precise pressure control.
•
Sophisticated electronics provide highly accurate fluid flow rates and volume
measurement.
•
The system works well with water, oil, or brine. Fluid-wetted parts are available in
Hastelloy (C-276) for users pumping highly corrosive fluids.
•
PumpWorks runs using Window Operating Systems. The software provides the user
with complete control over all operating parameters.
•
The pump system can be operated in many different operating modes, including
Constant Rate, Constant Pressure, and Constant Delta Pressure. The pump system can
also operate in both directions; it can either deliver or receive fluid.
•
PumpWorks permits system–level integration of the user’s entire experiment, by
allowing the user to add additional valves, digital signals or analog sensors (such as
transducers or temperature readings) and accessing them with PumpWorks.
•
PumpWorks allows the user to record all operating data in a data log on the computer
and to export data using a host link, Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE), or an OPC
interface.
•
A high temperature (160°C) option is available which allows the user to heat the entire
pump cylinder for reservoir condition experiments.
The basic building block of the 5000 Series Pump System is the Q5000 pump cylinder.
Chandler Engineering manufactures six different models of Q5000 pump cylinders (refer to Table 1-1).
They provide different maximum flow rate and pressure specifications. In general, the higher the
maximum pressure specification, the lower the maximum flow rate specification. The two “L” models
are designed for applications where extremely low flow rates are required.
For comparison purposes, Table 1-2 shows the three pump cylinder models available in the 6000 Series.
Users who require higher flow rates or fluid volumes than the 5000 Series provides can use a 6000
Series pump cylinder.
