    Application The VDM can be used for generating certain humidity in a gas stream. Carrier gas and liquid (water) are controlled to regulate the humidity. The water is mixed with the gas and consequently evaporated. The humidity at a certain temperature corresponds with a certain ratio of gas and water, this ratio can be set by the flow controllers which are part of the VDM.
