Liquid delivery system

A liquid delivery system comprising:

• a substrate block including a first substrate port and a second substrate port formed in an upper surface and a first liquid passageway that extends in a first direction and fluidly connects the first substrate port to the second substrate port;
• a first active component having a lower surface with an active component port fluidly connected to the first substrate port;
• and
• a removable seal assembly surrounding the fluidly connected first substrate and active component ports and sized to fit inside corresponding channels formed in the upper surface of the substrate block and the lower surface of the first active component and around the fluidly connected first substrate and active component ports for sealing the fluid connection between the substrate block and the first active component, the seal assembly including:
• (a) a cylindrical inner sleeve having conically shaped upper and lower portions surrounding an interior liquid pathway and sized to fit within the corresponding channels in the surfaces of the substrate block and active component so that liquid flowing between the first substrate and active component ports passes through the interior liquid pathway, said inner sleeve being tapered toward a top and a bottom of the inner sleeve by having a sloped outer portion that is sloped away from the interior pathway at an angle relative to a vertical axis of the inner sleeve at both the top and bottom of the inner sleeve;
• and
• (b) an annular outer ring connected to the outer portion of the inner sleeve and having a larger diameter than the inner sleeve, the outer ring extending in a vertical direction toward both a top and a bottom of the outer ring;
• wherein the inner sleeve has a first height extending from the top of the inner sleeve to the bottom of the inner sleeve and the outer ring has a second height extending from the top of the outer ring to the bottom of the outer ring, the first height being greater than the second height.
