    Introduction Instrument and Operation Instrument and Operation Introduction to the Pump The binary pump comprises two identical pumps integrated into one housing. Binary gradients are created by high-pressure mixing. A built-in degasser is available for applications that require best flow stability, especially at low flow rates, for maximum detector sensitivity.

  • Page 11: Principle Of Operation

    Introduction Instrument and Operation Principle of Operation The binary pump is based on a two-channel, dual-piston in-series design which comprises all essential functions that a solvent delivery system has to fulfill. Metering of solvent and delivery to the high-pressure side are performed by two pump assemblies which can generate pressure up to 600 bar.

  • Page 13: Overview Of The Hydraulic Path

    Introduction Overview of the Hydraulic Path Overview of the Hydraulic Path The solvent from the bottle in the solvent cabinet enters the pump through an active inlet valve. Each side of the binary pump comprises two substantially identical pump units. Both pump units comprise a ball-screw drive and a pump head with two sapphire pistons for reciprocating movement.
  • Page 14 Introduction Overview of the Hydraulic Path A servo-controlled variable reluctance motor drives the two ball-screw drives in opposite directions. The gears for the ball-screw drives have different circumferences (ratio 2:1) allowing the first piston to move at double the speed of the second piston.
  • Page 15 Introduction Overview of the Hydraulic Path the influence of the latter, the use of a vacuum degasser is mandatory for a high flow and composition precision. Unfortunately, the influence of the temperature on compressibility is non-linear and cannot be calculated. The Agilent 1260 Infinity II Binary Pump features a multi point compressibility calibration.
  • Page 16 Introduction Overview of the Hydraulic Path How Does Variable Stroke Volume Work?
