Syringe Pump System for Simulating Deep Ocean Conditions

This advanced high-pressure syringe pump is designed for the Institute of Condensed Matter Chemistry of Bordeaux (ICMCB). It plays a crucial role in simulating extreme conditions found in hydrothermal sources, facilitating research into the physico-chemical factors that may contribute to the origins of life on Earth.

The pump is equipped with a 10 mL syringe capable of operating at a maximum pressure of 800 bar, providing injection rates ranging from 0.1 µL/min to 60 mL/min. Alternatively, it can utilize a 25 mL syringe with a maximum pressure of 340 bar, supporting flow rates from 0.25 µL/min to 147 mL/min. The pump ensures impressive flow stability with an accuracy of 0.05 µL/min, allowing for precise fluid control.

Key specifications of the pump include:

Stroke Length: 128 mm for effective fluid displacement.
Material: Constructed from Hastelloy C-276 for superior corrosion resistance.
Sealing: Features Viton (FKM) O-rings for reliable sealing under high pressure.
Fluid Connection: Includes a 1/8 W125 fitting with an adapter to 1/8 Valco (max 10 kpsi).
Pressure Measurement: Equipped with a pressure sensor capable of measuring up to 1000 bar, with an accuracy of ±0.1% of full scale (±1 bar).
Operating Temperature: Designed for a temperature range of 10 °C to 50 °C, without temperature control.
PC Connectivity: Connects via RS232/485 for easy integration with computer systems.
Control Software: Comes with Windows-compatible software and the option for external control via LabView.
Power Supply: Operates on 230 V AC.
