Figure 1–4: Solvent management system flow path
Solvent flow sequence:
1.
The in-line vacuum degasser degasses the solvent.
2.
The gradient proportioning valve meters the solvents, prior to pressurization in the pump
heads.
3.
The inlet manifold blends the metered solvents.
4.
The blended solvents flow through the
i

Valve
check valve and into the primary piston
chamber.
5.
The primary piston delivers solvent to the accumulator, the vent valve, and the in-line
mixer/filter during transfer.
6.
The accumulator piston delivers solvent, under pressure, to the vent valve and the in-line
mixer/filter.
7.
From the in-line mixer/filter, the solvent flows to the sample-management system.
