Consequences of New Operating Regimes: Heating Effects

Thermal Heating Effects in Ultra-High-Pressure IC
Percolation of a liquid through columns packed with 2.5 µm particles at ultra-high pressure induces frictional heating, which in turn induced axial and radial temperature gradients over the column• Temperature sensors connected to column end-fittings (providing quantitative information)• Heat-mapping camera for visualization

• 2.5 µm particles versus 4 µm• Efficiency doubled (plates/m)• 2-3 times faster (maintaining plates/column)• Highly efficient: enables reduction of column length• 100 mm column operated at kinetic performance limit: 25% loss in plates/column, but 5 times faster
• Future requirements• Ultra-low dispersion suppressor• Low dispersion conductivity cell• Column oven with still air mode
• High pressure compatible upgrade requirements• Inert pump• Eluent generator, degasser and electrolytic trap column• Injection valve and tubing• Column hardware
