The device is primarily intended to mix CO and air. Mixing of other gasses must be always consulted with manufacturer. • Pressure regulator must be always used when connecting the GMS 150 with the gas tank. Never connect the gas tank directly to the GMS 150. •...
The input and output gas connectors are Prestolok type allowing fast and secure connection to a variety of tubes. The GMS 150 can operate gas flows ranging from ml/min to tens of l/min. GMS 150 is typically used to control flow of air, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen.
EVICE Standard version of the GMS package consists: • Gas Mixing System GMS 150 (Fig. 1) • Cables and Connectors – Power cable, 5 m of Parker Prestolok tubing Ø 6 mm, 3 pieces of blinding plugs (Fig. 2) •...
& Control Screen). 3) Four control keys for the device setting (more on device setting in Chapter 0 – Setting Screen). 4) Gas output. 5) Display. GMS 150 can produce precise mixtures of up to 4 different gasses, but standardly there are only two gas inputs.
An illustrative example of GMS 150 linked with PBR FMT 150: Recommended set-up includes one GMS 150 linked with one cultivation system (for example PBR FMT 150 unit) as is shown in Fig. 5. Such a configuration allows to use a full potential of GMS 150: •...

Fig. 5 GMS 150 connection to Photobioreactor FMT 150 cultivation unit. Mixed gas of given composition is pumped from GMS (1) to the PBR FMT 150 (2) via air interruption valve (3), filter (4) and humidifier (5). Aeration gas is led through the cultivation vessel lid into the U-tube sparger. Medium overflow is collected using the medium outlet (6).
PERATION NSTRUCTIONS The device is operated and controlled via two different screen-modes of the digital display: 1. Display & Control Screen – values for actual flow, target flow and output mixture flow of the gases are shown (Fig. 6 A). 2.
7.1.1 D ISPLAY WITH BSOLUTE NITS Fig. 8 Display with absolute flow units. Values for current flow • The current flow values for gases used are shown on the top of the display, on left side is usually current gas flow for CO on the right side is usually current gas flow for Air/N (Fig.
7.1.2 D ISPLAY WITH ERCENTAGE NITS Fig. 9 Display with percentage gas flow units. Current percentage content • The current flow values for gases used are shown on the top of the display, on left side is usually current gas flow for CO on the right side is usually current gas flow for Air/N (Fig.
