Abstract
A new mechanism for pulsation damping in a reciprocating diaphragm pump system is disclosed which is especially suitable for solvent delivery in modern high pressure liquid chromatography requiring a wide range of solvent flow rates and pressures. The disclosed damper has good overall performance over the full range of liquid chromatographic conditions, a dead volume independent of solvent pressure, and largely eliminates the necessity for continuously pumping the working oil of the diaphragm pump to a maximum operating pressure.
