Title:
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR THE PULSATION-FREE VOLUMETRIC DELIVERY OF FLUIDS AND SUSPENSIONS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/118740
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to the pulsation-free volumetric delivery of fluids and suspensions and is suited both for large laboratory applications, such as the recirculation of cell suspensions in closed fermenters, and for the pulsation-free and continuous delivery of very small quantities. It is the aim of the invention to enable completely pulsation-free volumetric delivery of fluids and suspensions using a simple technical solution. The aim is achieved according to the invention by a method and an apparatus. By way of pump chambers (9) to (13) consecutively arranged in the flow direction, wherein the center pump chamber (11) has a volume that is three times as large as that of any of the other pump chambers (9), (10), (12), (13), an intermediate storage of a partial quantity of the medium to be transported is achieved. By phase-shifted actuation (8) of the pump chambers (9) to (13), a defined volume is taken in at the inlet of the apparatus and a defined volume is put out at the outlet during each phase of the pump cycle.
