This must be done without flow. Your CEM system is now ready for operation. Be sure that your liquid system is free of gas bubbles. If needed remove the de-aerate plug on top of the CEM control valve for de-aeration. page 4 9.17.010...
A carrier gas, controlled by a MFC* is used to stimulate the evaporation process as a mixing component, and furthermore to transport the vapour. The process is highly repeatable and efficient. Subsequent total evaporation of the liquid is achieved in the "CEM". * For operation of these devices consult the appropriate instruction manuals. 1.3 CEM set-up The “CEM”...
2.4 Mounting position ® Bronkhorst strongly advises to mount the CEM in a vertical position, with the control valve section pointing upwards and the vapour output pointing downwards. Avoid installation in close proximity of mechanic vibration or strong heat sources.
The liquid meter should be installed according to its manual. The outlet of this meter should be connected to the liquid input port of the CEM valve. The CEM valve is controlled by the controller section of the liquid flowmeter. Electrical connections should be made according to the customer system description.
Operation example: Application: Generation of humid gas The CEM system can be used for generating a certain humidity in a gas stream. The gas flow is controlled ® by the F-201 gas flow controller and the humidity, the water, is controlled by the LIQUI-FLOW controller.
