Flow and Pressure Control for OEM Applications
Jan 26 2017
Integrate automated flow control into OEM applications by utilising a dedicated flow sensor or—if multiple channels exist—by integrating an electronic pressure controller together with a calibrated fixed orifice, such as those from Alicat Scientific.
OEM mass flow controllers are designed to be “more than fit for purpose” for stress free integration into OEM products within an economical small footprint package. Based upon a high accuracy MEMS sensor, and yet feature rich, they deliver 100-ms speed of control response for eight pre-loaded gases. Access PID valve tuning, if required, to optimise in-situ speed of response and stability. Of special interest to equipment manufacturers is the detail that no warm-up is required as they are ready to measure almost instantly.
Alternatively, obtain OEM flow control through a fixed orifice together with an OEM Pressure Controller. This technique—the most cost-effective form of flow control—can be specifically customised for optimised form, fit and function. PD valve tuning remains accessible for best speed and stability. Dual valve configurations efficiently control dead-ended volumes (i.e. for non through-flow or enclosed volume applications).
The capability to include differing measuring and control techniques across a wide suite of gas flow control instruments ensures that the optimum solution can be provided without compromising quality, service support, or performance specifications.
