BRONKHORST 1 Introduction 1.1 General ® The Bronkhorst series CEM system is a unique system to realise Mass Flow Control of vapour & mixtures, containing up to 1200 g/h vapour. A complete system is a combination of a mixing valve, a heating device, a liquid meter with control function and a mass flow controller for the carrier gas.
Note: If the instruments have been used with toxic or dangerous gases the customer should pre-clean the instrument. Important: Clearly note, on top of the package, the customer clearance number of BRONKHORST HIGH-TECH B.V., namely: NL801989978B01 2.3 Service If this equipment is not properly serviced, serious personal injury and/or damage to the equipment could be ®...
® BRONKHORST 2.6 In-line filter Although fluids and piping should be absolutely free from dirt, it is recommended to install inline filters upstream of the flowmeter(s). 2.7 Fluid connections 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.
® BRONKHORST 2.9 Electrical specifications 2.9.1 Functional diagram 2.9.2 Electrical specifications Heater The heater consists of two heater elements with a resistance of approx. 19,25 ± 0.5 Ohm each. For 110…120Vac-power supply: two heater elements switched parallel. For 220…240Vac-power supply: two heater elements switched serial.
® BRONKHORST 2.11 Supply pressure Do not apply pressure until electrical connections are made. When applying pressure to the system, take care to avoid pressure shocks in the system, and increase pressure gradually. Be sure that all setpoints are at zero when doing so.
3 Operation 3.1 General ® The Bronkhorst CEM system is designed in such a way that it will meet user process requirements. In order to achieve good results, it should be operated according to the guidelines stated in the following paragraphs.

® BRONKHORST 4 Readout and Control unit ® The use of standard readout unit, manufactured by Bronkhorst is recommended. 4.1 Application with Bronkhorst standard Readout and Control unit ® 4.1.1 General ® The Bronkhorst Readout and Control unit with temperature control unit offers the ability to power the CEM and to set the desired temperature for the heater system of the CEM.
In the drawing below the recommended electrical diagram of a heater controlled system is shown. For proper connection, please consult the appropriate hook-up diagrams. CAUTION !! ® When using the CEM system without the Bronkhorst Readout and Control unit the following guidelines should be followed: •...
For sensors and valves follow the guidelines as explained in the appropriate manuals. Warning: the “CEM power” connector is a mains power inlet. Use standard Bronkhorst® cables 7.03.583 for connecting the CEM W-300B to the Readout unit or ® 7.03.584 for connecting the CEM W-300B to a non-Bronkhorst control unit.
