Chromatography system with blockage determination
There is provided a method that includes, (a) monitoring a pressure on a fluid being conveyed through an intake tube into a chamber by a pump, (b) determining a deviation of the pressure from a predefined value, (c) determining a blockage of the intake tube based on the deviation, and (d) determining an amount of an adjustment of a parameter of the pump to compensate for the blockage.
1. A method comprising:
monitoring a pressure on a fluid being conveyed through an intake tube into a chamber by a pump;
determining a deviation of said pressure from a predefined value;
determining a blockage of said intake tube based on said deviation; and
determining an amount of an adjustment of a parameter of said pump to compensate for said blockage.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, sending a signal to adjust said parameter of said pump by said amount.
3. A computer-readable medium, comprising:
instructions for controlling a computer to:
monitor a pressure on a fluid being conveyed through an intake tube into a chamber by a pump;
determine a deviation of said pressure from a predefined value;
determine a blockage of said intake tube based on said deviation; and
determine an amount of an adjustment of a parameter of said pump to compensate for said blockage.
4. The computer-readable medium of claim 3 , wherein said instructions further control said computer to output a signal to adjust said parameter of said pump by said amount.
5. A system comprising a processor that:
monitors a pressure on a fluid being conveyed through an intake tube into a chamber by a pump;
determines a deviation of said pressure from a predefined value;
determines a blockage of said intake tube based on said deviation; and
determines an amount of an adjustment of a parameter of said pump to compensate for said blockage.
6. The system of claim 5 , wherein said processor also outputs a signal to adjust said parameter of said pump by said amount.
