GAS & VAPOR DOSING SYSTEMS
Generation of controlled reaction atmospheres can become quite
­complex and troublesome when high accuracy is required.
­Rubotherm FlexiDOSE instruments are sophisticated, automated
turn-key gas and vapor dosing devices for challenging applications.
FlexiDOSE instruments are universal gas and vapor dosing devices
and pressure controllers: modular design, flexible and customizable
high pressure gas and vapor dosing systems. The systems are
­designed for operation with Rubotherm’s magnetic suspension
­balances as well as external reactors, for instance high pressure
­autoclaves, calorimeters, furnaces, etc. Unique features of the
­FlexiDOSE systems are:
p Highest Accuracy in Pressure Control
Providing atmospheres with minimal pressure fluctuations in a
wide pressure range.
p Accurate Vapor Dosing
Generation of vapors from liquids and precise control of vapor
pressure, composition, and humidity.
p Volumetric Dosing and Mixing
For exact volumetric metering of reaction atmospheres and for
producing exactly defined gas and vapor mixtures.
FlexiDOSE instruments are automatically operated by software
­control. Their standard gas connections allow easy combination
and i­ ntegration with existing autoclaves or reactors.
Typical applications are:
p Measuring of selective reactions (absorption and adsorption /
catalysis) by mixture generation, volumetric metering, and
composition analysis
p Vapor generation, dosing, and pressure control for evaluating
wetting and drying processes
p Monitoring high pressure gas or supercritical fluid solubility /
extraction by pressure control in autoclaves
p Heat of reaction measurement by gas dosing and pressure
control for calorimeters
p Membrane permeability and selectivity measurements by
gas mixing and trans-membrane pressure control
EXTERNAL REACTOR + DOSING SYSTEM + SOFTWARE = AUTOMATIC SYSTEMS
Flexi DOSE SERIES
The FlexiDOSE devices are available in two basic configurations with
different pressure control ranges from vacuum to 700 bar:
FlexiDOSE STATIC for gas or vapor pressure control in
widest range
FlexiDOSE FLOW for gas and vapor flow control, mixing,
and wide range pressure control
For dosing condensable atmospheres like vapors or sub-critical
fluids heated versions of the FlexiDOSE systems are available.
­Please refer to the following pages for details about the ­available
configurations of the FlexiDOSE systems.
FlexiDOSE instruments are the ideal combination for our Magnetic
Suspension Balance to feed it with gases and/or vapors. Both
­devices together form a strong and flexible scientific measuring
system.
GAS & VAPOR DOSING SYSTEMS
PRESSURE CONTROL IN STATIC ATMOSPHERES
FlexiDOSE STATIC devices are pressure controllers for gases,
­subcritical and supercritical fluids and vapors. The pressure in
the ­connected reactor is exactly controlled by
p allowing the reaction atmosphere to flow into the reactor
(pressure increase) or
p allowing the atmosphere in the reactor to flow out
(pressure decrease)
until the pre-defined set point pressure is reached.
The following standard configurations of FlexiDOSE STATIC devices are available:
Flexi DOSE STATIC G
For measurements in static gas atmospheres in the pressure range
up to 150 bar (HP).
In the basic configuration with selection between two reaction
gas supply lines, optionally gas switch for permanent connection
of five reaction gas supply lines. Even the pressure of vapors may
be controlled by this device. The controlling range for vapors is
­limited to approx. 50% of the dew point pressure at ambient
­tem­perature (e. g. 30 bar for CO2 ).
Flexi DOSE STATIC SC
For measurements in static gas and subcritical fluid ­atmospheres
in the pressure ranges up to 150 bar (HP), 350 bar (HPII), or 700 bar
(HPIII).
Accurate pressure control is not trivial when liquefied gases are
­involved: CO2, NH3, propane, or butane are available as liquefied
gases in cylinders only with limited pressure. Dosing fluids with
such thermodynamic properties at pressures above their dew
point leads to condensation in the tubes or icing of the valves.
This problem is solved by heating of the entire dosing system above
the critical or c­ ondensation temperature. Therefore FlexiDOSE
­STATIC SC dosing systems are heated to ensure supercritical tem­
perature conditions and allow accurate high pressure control of
subcritical fluids. For reaching high pressures with these fluids a
syringe pump or com­pressor to supply liquefied gas above cylinder
pressure is required.
Flexi DOSE STATIC G&V
For measurements in static gas or vapor atmospheres in the
­pressure ranges up to 2 bar (LP) or 50 bar (MP).
Vapors of ambient temperature liquids (H2O, toluene, b
­ enzene, …)
are generated in three vapor pressure cells (VPC). The liquids in the
VPC are heated to a controlled temperature. This generates vapor
with the boiling p
­ ressure at heating temperature.
By heating up to 150°C high vapor pressures can be reached in the
FlexiDOSE STATIC G&V systems, for instance 4.7 bar with ­water.
Flexi DOSE SERIES
Three different versions of the FlexiDOSE STATIC devices for
­different pressures and/or measuring fluids consist of the main
functional units:

FLOW devices for different pressures and/or measuring fluids controlling ranges

Flexi DOSE FLOW G
For measurements in flowing gas or gas mixture atmospheres in
the pressure ranges up to 1 bar (LP), 50 bar (MP), 150 bar (HP), or
300 bar (HPII).
Flexi DOSE FLOW G&V LP
For humidifying a gas or a gas mixture at ambient pressure the
flow dosing system is equipped with a humidifier. The gas flow
bubbles through the liquid and is saturated with vapor. Humidity
control is achieved by mixing this saturated gas flow with a
­second dry gas flow. ­Humidity is measured with an accurate
dew point mirror and thus, independently from the used liquid /
vapor. Condensation of vapor is avoided by a heater that heats
the gas saturator, all tubes, valves and sensors which are in
­contact with the vapor.
Flexi DOSE FLOW G&V
For vapor dosing at high pressures of 50 bar (MP) or 150 bar (HP)
the FlexiDOSE FLOW G&V is equipped with a steam generator.
The gas coming from the mass flow controllers can be mixed with
a flow of vapor/steam. The vapor is generated by compressing
and dosing a controlled flow of liquid (H2O, naphtha, toluene, …)
by means of a HPLC pump. This liquid flow is evaporated under
pressure in a vaporizer. Humidity control is achieved by controlling
the ratio of liquid flow and gas flows. Condensation of vapor is
avoided by a heater that heats all tubes which are in contact with
the vapor.
