2.1 Functional properties
Before installing the VDM, check if the functional properties match your requirements:
· Model key
· Pressure rate
· Temperature (ambient)
· Power supply
· Power consumption
2.2 Rated pressure test inspection
Bronkhorst® i nstruments are pressure tested to at least 1. 5 times the specified working process conditions and outboard leak tested to at least 2 * 10-9 mbar l /s Helium. The tested pressure is specified on the instrument with a red sticker. If t his sticker is missing or if the specified pressure is insufficient, the instrument must not be used and should be returned to the factory.
Before installation, make sure that the tested pressure is in accordance with the safety factor of your application. The tested pressure must always be higher than the maximum operating pressure.
Disassembling the instrument and/or replacing parts of it will invalidate the pressure test specification.

5.3 Operational settings
Make sure that the tracing and heating temperatures are well above the dew point of the desired vapor flow at the process conditions.
Especially for t racing, t he temperature is only controlled at a single location, while inadequate insulation may introduce cold-spots at which condensation may occur.
Page 22
Instruction Manual Vapor Delivery Module 9.17.079D22
Be aware that both heater and tracing temperature depend on the location of the sensor. Therefore, it is advised to set the heater temperature approximately 20°C above the theoretical temperature. In addition, it is advised to set the tracing temperature another 10°C higher.
5.3.1 Operation example
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 r atio can be set by the flow controllers which are part of the VDM.
Calculation example for setting of r elative humidity
At atmospheric pressure, at 80°C, 2 ln/min Air has to be moistened. Which water flow is needed for a r.h. of 50%. The vapor pressure of water at 80°C is 473.3 mbar according to FLUIDAT®.
FLUIDAT® on the Net: Bronkhorst's interactive F low C alculations and routines generating Physical Properties. Visit
www.fluidat.com
Assumptions:
· consider water vapor as an ideal gas
· 1 mole of ideal gas at normal conditions = 22.4 l
· 1 mole of water is 18 g and 1 hour is 60 min.
· 1 atm. = 1013. 25 mbar.
At 10 0% r.h., the (Mole)Ratio between gas and water is:
The mole ratio:
So in a gas flow of 2 ln/min, the saturated vapor flow (100% r.h.) is:
and in [g/h]:
At 50% r.h., the (Mole)Ratio between gas and water is:
The mole ratio: So in a gas flow of 2 ln/min, the saturated vapor flow (50% r.h.) is:
