From column to outlet
Description
Stage
Downstream of the column, the liquid passes through a second pressure
sensor cell (PT-112), which has an integrated flow cell for a pH electrode
(AE-121).
1
The liquid then continues through:
2
•
a flow meter cell (FE-141) with integrated temperature sensor (TE-161),
•
a conductivity cell (CE-101), and
•
a UV cell (AE-131).
The last sensor in the path is a third pressure sensor (PT-113).
3
Downstream from the sensors, the liquid continues via the outlet tubing to
the outlet manifold, where valves (XV-051 to XV-056) divert the liquid to either
waste or fraction collection.
4
Maximum pressures
•
At the outlet manifold, the system works under a pressure of max 0.95 bar.
•
Between pump and column the pressure is max 5 bar.
•
Between column and outlet manifold the pressure is max 2 bar.
•
The different pressure zones are monitored by pressure sensors PT-111 to PT-113.
