What are the Eldex inlet pump pressure requirements?
For Eldex pumps to function correctly, the outlet pressure must be at least 25 psi higher than the inlet pressure to ensure proper seating of the check valves, which is…
How does back pressure affect pump performance?
Eldex pumps are designed to maintain precise flow against significant back pressure. Back pressure is critical for the performance of Eldex Optos pumps, which achieve precise metering through a positive…
What are the piston seal material options?
GFR PTFE piston seals are standard on Eldex Optos stainless steel and Hastelloy pump models; Eldex Optos PEEK pump models use UHMW PE piston seals. See our blog post on…
Does the Optos pump have pressure monitoring abilities?
Yes, the Eldex Optos pump offers pressure monitoring through our optional PLUS feature (integrated pulse damper/pressure transducer) or standalone Pressure Transducer Manifold. This accessory provides precise pressure monitoring, featuring built-in…
Can Eldex pumps be programmed to run intermittently?
Yes, Eldex pumps can be programmed for intermittent operation using our firmware with dispense mode. This mode allows precise, timed dispensing, such as injecting 2.4 ml every 60 minutes over…
What causes flow rate inconsistencies in Eldex pumps?
Flow rate inconsistencies in Eldex reciprocating piston pumps can arise from various system and operational issues. Here are the primary causes: Insufficient Back Pressure (25 psi minimum required) Check Valve…
