Comments Other injectors, like the Model 7125, interrupt the flow during movement of the handle from one position to the other. Fig. 40 shows such a model. When the rotor seal is rotated back to the LOAD position (clockwise since this is a view from the rear), you can see for a time that the pump is not connected to either port #1 or port #3. This causes a transient: in the pump line the pressure rises and the flow stops, in the column line the pressure falls and the flow stops. The magnitude of these effects increases when the handle is turned slowly, the flow rate is high, or the pumping system has a low compliance. Usually the transient has no effect on the system, but when using flow sensitive detectors, fragile columns, or pumps that are disturbed by flow or pressure changes, injectors having Rheodynes continuous flow design may be preferred. |
