Repairing the Pump

Exchanging the Pump Seals and Seal Wear-in Procedure

4 Insert new seals into the pump head.

5 Reassemble the pump head assembly (see “Reassembling the Pump Head Assembly” on page 121). Reset seal wear counter and liquimeter as described in the documentation.

Seal Wear-in Procedure

 

 

N O T E

This procedure is required for standard seals only (5063-6589), but it

 

will definetely damage the normal phase application seals

 

(0905-1420).

 

 

1Place a bottle with 100 ml of Isopropanol in the solvent cabinet and place the tubing (including bottle head assembly) of the channel used for the wear-in procedure in the bottle.

2Unscrew the connecting tube from MCGV to AIV. Screw the adapter

(0100-1847) to the AIV and connect the inlet tube from the bottle head directly to it.

3Connect the restriction capillary (5022-2159) to the purge valve. Insert its other end into a waste container.

4Open the purge valve and purge the system for 5 minutes with isopropanol at a flow rate of 2 ml/min.

5Close the purge valve, set the flow to a rate adequate to achieve a pressure of 350 bar. Pump 15 minutes at this pressure to wear in the seals. The pressure can be monitored at your analog output signal, with the handheld controller, Chemstation or any other controlling device connected to your pump.
