Product catalog summary
Introduction
Bronkhorst High-Tech B.V. is a prominent European manufacturer specializing in thermal Mass Flow Meters/Controllers and Electronic Pressure Controllers, with over four decades of expertise. Their instruments are highly customizable, catering to laboratory, industrial, and hazardous environments.

LOW-ΔP-FLOW Series
This series is tailored for applications requiring minimal differential pressure or handling corrosive gases. It features a large bore capillary and cylindrical flow splitter to reduce flow resistance, supporting mass flow capacities from 0…10 mln/min to 0…1000 m3n/h. The design minimizes clogging and eases cleaning, enhancing the lifespan of instruments used with corrosive gases.

Design and Features
Available in both laboratory and industrial styles, the series offers options for IP65 housing and ATEX Category 3 approval for hazardous areas. It supports digital communication protocols like DeviceNet™, CANopen®, and PROFIBUS®DP.

Mass Flow Control
The LOW-ΔP-FLOW Mass Flow Controllers (models F-200/201/202) are equipped with fast and smooth control valves. For higher flow rates at low differential pressures, the F-004 series control valves with pressure compensation bellows are recommended.

Technical Specifications
- Accuracy: ± 1% FS
- Turndown: 1:50
- Repeatability: < 0.2% Rd
- Operating temperature: -10 to +70°C
- Max. operating pressure: 10 bar
- Material: Stainless steel
- Power supply: +15…24 Vdc
- Communication: RS232, DeviceNet™, CANopen®, etc.

Applications
The series is utilized in environmental air sampling, leak rate measurements, burner control, and gas consumption measurement, particularly effective in low-pressure gas distribution systems.

Model Specifications
Various models offer different flow ranges and configurations, including IP40 and IP65 rated options. The series supports a wide range of gases, with conversion and viscosity factors provided for model selection.

Conclusion
The LOW-ΔP-FLOW series provides reliable and precise mass flow measurement and control solutions for low differential pressure or corrosive gas applications, backed by robust design and extensive communication options.

Mounting Options
Includes various flange mounting options such as DIN PN10, PN16, PN40, and ANSI 150, 300.

Internal Seals
Options include FKM/Viton® (standard), EPDM, and FFKM/Kalrez®.

Product Information
Examples include F-101DI (IP65 configuration) and F-102E (IP40 configuration) Mass Flow Meters.

LOW-ΔP-FLOW-5

To select the right model for other gases than Air, we have to carry out two calculations: conversion factor The highest flow rate calculated determines the flow capacity. Example: Freon-22, 1 ln/min Conversion factor = 0,49 (see table below) Viscosity factor = 0,34 (see table below) Highest flow rate = 2,94 ln/min so we can select model F-101E or F-101EI MFM resp. F-201EV or F-201EI MFC. viscosity factor 1. 0vn Air = 1/0,49 = 2,04 h/min2. 0vn Air = 1/0,34 = 2,94 ln/min > Conversion factors and viscosity factors Name ABC Name ABC Name ABC A = Symbol - B = conversion factor @ 20°C.

LOW-ΔP-FLOW-6

An interesting example to control a flow rate is using a LOW-AP-FLOW Mass Flow Meter in combination with a sampling pump. In this configuration the speed of the pump is controlled to obtain the required mass flow rate, determined by the setpoint value. Burner control using Mass Flow Controllers brings many advantages compared to conventional systems, where flow is adjusted through needle valves. When burner orifices get clogged or when gas supply pressure varies, an MFC will automatically adapt to the changed conditions. For the control of relatively large flows with low differential pressure,...
