DOC# FC-MAN-001 REV 00

FC™-Series Humidiers are shell and tube
moisture exchangers that allow transfer of water
vapor. Humidiers can be setup Gas-to-Gas or
Water-to-Gas. Water molecules are absorbed
into walls of the Naon® tube and transferred
to dry gas stream. This transfer is driven by the
difference in partial pressures of water vapor on
opposing sides.

SETUP 2: WATER-TO-GAS

SETUP 1: GAS TO GAS

In Water-to-Gas setup, the humidication process is
endothermic. Heated water needs to be continuous­ly circulated through the humidier so as to prevent
cold spots from forming inside and reducing perfor­mance. Flow with greater pressure must be owing
inside tubes to prevent tubing collapse, which can
lead to poor performance and permanent leaks
through the headers.

Performance can be controlled by increasing heat
or by decreasing sample ow. Chart below shows
performance of various models.

GAS-TO-GAS PERFORMANCE

In Gas-to-Gas setup, constant dewpoint wet gas
needs to be continuously owing at same ow rate as
sample.

Approach Temperature*

DI water is required for humidication, and the water
should be circulated at 4 LPM for 100 LPM of dry
gas ow.

The surface of Naon™ in a Water-To-Gas setup
chemically behaves like liquid water, and will react
with anything in the gas that would react with liquid
water. Additionally, users may experience losses
when humidifying gases that are soluble in water.
Liquid water under pressure can transfer directly
through the membrane in liquid form, and provisions
should be taken to evaporate that water down­stream of the gas exit as necessary.

* Units are expressed as ow rate of air (slpm) in
relation to approach dewpoint temperature. Approach
temperature is dened as difference between wet gas
entering humidier and humidied stream outlet. For
example, for FC-125-240-10PP at 25 lpm, wet gas
enters humidier at 70°C at Approached
Temperature of 4°C, humidied stream outlet would
be 66°C.
