Gas Mixing System GMS 150

Gas Mixing System GMS 150 can produce precise mixtures of up to 4 different gases. The flows of the individual input gases are measured by thermal mass flow meters and adjusted by integrated mass flow controllers. Before the exit connector, the gas mixture is thoroughly homogenized. The input and output gas connectors are of Prestolok type allowing fast and secure connection to a variety of tubes. GMS 150 is typically used to control flow of air, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen. Additional gases like nitrogen dioxide, ammonia, helium and others can also be added to simulate various technological mixtures or smokestack gases. GMS 150 mass flow meters and controllers can operate gas flows ranging from 1 ml/min to 1,000 l/min (customized version). Flow ranges are controllable from 2 % to 100 % of total flow value. The controllers of GMS 150 can be calibrated on maximum flow range according to customer requirements. GMS 150 can be used as a stand-alone instrument and operated locally via front panel display. The required gas mixture can be defined either by setting the absolute flows of individual gasses (e.g. 980 ml/min of air and 20 ml/min of CO2) or by setting the required relative composition of the final gas mixture (2 % CO2 in air) and the total gas flow (1,000 ml/min).


Standard version of the device designed for laboratory scale systems enables the maximum total flow of 2 l/min and maximum CO2 flow rate 40 ml/min. The typical GMS version designed for large-scale facilities allows the maximum total flow 10 or 20 l/min for channel 1 and 400 or 800 ml/min for channel 2.

Newly, PSI introduces Gas Mixing System GMS 150-MICRO - friendly-priced basic version of the GMS 150. It retains all features of the GMS 150 and the major difference is the limited choice of gas flow meters restricted to maximum total flows ranging from 10 ml/min to 2.5 l/min and lower accuracy of mixing. Standard version of the GMS 150-MICRO is equipped with two channels (channel 1 for Air-N2; channel 2 for CO2); the maximum total flow is 2 l/min (channel 1), the maximum flow rate of channel 2 is 40 ml/min. Optionally the system can be upgraded to four channels version according to customer requirements.

Technical Requirements for Device functioning


  • CO2 (or other gas) supply
  • Dry, oil-free, pressurized air supply (3-5 bars) supplemented with a filter
  • Regular general maintenance is recommended every two years. It includes: inspection, cleaning, and recalibration of the whole system.

Applications


  • Research and industry
  • Algae biotechnology
  • Mixing of gases for analytical research
  • Preparation of gas mixtures for production purposes
