  • Page 10: Overview

    Overview 1.1 Theory of operation The P200X pump is a high-pressure pump that incorporates a low dead volume head and check valves to provide efficient pumping of CO and many solvents. As the pump piston moves back to refill the chamber, the lower check valve opens to allow fluid to flow into the chamber, and the upper check valve closes to prevent system fluid from entering the chamber.

July 18, 2017, 715005524 Rev.
  • Page 13 Figure 1–3: Handheld terminal The handheld terminal has a 45-key keypad and a backlit 4 × 20 character display. It functions in two modes: • Operation mode – to set and modify pressure, flow, and alarm parameters. • Configure mode – to modify computer communication settings, perform calibrations, and set general operating conditions.
  • Page 14: Installation

    • Cooling fluid from the cooling water bath must be circulated through the pump heads and cooling heat exchanger. • Install a filter directly upstream of the P200X to capture any solids that may have formed. Waters recommends the use of a filter with a large surface area and a 5-µm porosity to prevent a pressure drop.
  • Page 15 • 7/16-inch open-end wrench To install the P200X pump with a CO supply source: If you are not installing the P200X pump on a system cart, place the pump on a workbench capable of safely supporting 46 kg (100 pounds). Locate the CO tank as close to the pump as possible.
  • Page 16 Recommendation: Waters recommends using tubing with 0.020 wall thickness and 0.125 OD to connect the CO tank outlet to the pump inlet. Using smaller tubing can restrict the flow and degrade pumping efficiency.
  • Page 17 Figure 2–2: Location of chiller tubing fittings X Pump Chiller tubing fittings Connect the cooling bath outlet tubing to the remaining chiller tubing fitting. Notice: To avoid damage to the sapphire pistons resulting from ice formation in the pump heads, do not set the cooling bath temperature below 3 °C. 10.

  • Page 19: Installing A New Co Tank

    To avoid injury from tubing that bursts under high pressure, use only tubing that can suitably withstand the highest pressure the system can generate. If you are unsure about the pressure rating of a particular type of tubing, contact your Waters service representative for assistance.
  • Page 20 Figure 2–4: CO tank secured with safety strapping tank Safety strapping Tip: To prevent debris from entering the CO tank valve, do not move tank without the protective cap in place over the valve. Remove the protective cap and wrap (if present) from the replacement CO tank valve.
  • Page 21: Cooling Temperature Effect On Co Pump Efficiency

    To install the P200X pump with a solvent supply source: Place the P200X pump on a workbench capable of safely supporting 46 kg (100 pounds). Place the solvent supply reservoir at the same level as the pump or slightly above the pump inlet.
  • Page 22 Figure 2–6: Location of pump inlet X Pump Pump inlet Connect the tubing to the pump inlet, and then place the filter-end of the tubing into the solvent supply reservoir, ensuring that the entire filter is submerged in the solvent. Requirement: Use the shortest tubing length practical, with the largest ID, for the pump inlet connection.

  • Page 24: Cavitation

    2.3.1 Cavitation Cavitation occurs when the inlet to the pump restricts the flow of solvent during the fill stroke and causes vapor bubbles to form. You can prevent this situation by reducing or eliminating restrictions in the inlet lines. Typical restrictions are kinks or crimps in the tubing, small ID tubing, long lengths of tubing, clogged inlet filters, or placement of the solvent reservoir below the pump.
