Extraction cell assembly with quick-release seal removal

摘要

An extraction cell assembly includes a cell body, a cap assembly having a cap body and a cap insert, a bed support and a seal. The cap body is removably secured to the cell body and includes a throughbore and a peripheral wall. The cap insert includes a plunger, a peripheral flange extending outwardly from the plunger, and a recess disposed within the plunger. The flange and plunger of the cap insert are slidably received, respectively, inside the peripheral wall and throughbore of the cap body. The bed support is removably received within the recess. The seal is removably received within the throughbore. The seal forms a fluid seal between the cell body and the cap assembly when the cap assembly is secured to the cell body. A method of using the extraction cell assembly is also disclosed.
