“…Cooled pump heads and cooled check valves increased the pumping efficiency and stabilized the flow of carbon dioxide (Figure 2.3). The cooling was obtained by drilling cooling channels in the pump heads or by clamp-on heat exchangers with circulating cold solvents, as with the Altex Model 110A (Mourier et al, 1985a), the Varian 5500 (Mourier et al, 1985b), the Perkin-Elmer Series 10 (Simpson et al, 1986), the Waters Model590 (Greibrokk et al, 1987), the Gilson Model303 (Giorgetti et al, 1989), the Jeol Cap-Go 3 (Saito and Takeuchi, 1989), the Hewlett-Packard Model 1050 (Berger and Deye, 1990), the Milton Roy CP-3000 (Huang and Morgan, 1990), and the Shimadzu LC-6A , or by the enclosure of pump heads, valves and mixers in a box with a circulating cold solvent, as with the Jasco Familic 300 S . The cooling is needed to allow the check valves and the piston to work with a liquid of low compressibility.…”
