Gas Mixing System | Fusionflow MXM

Gas Mixing System | Fusionflow MXM

Gas Mixing System – Overview

This gas blending system is flexible enough for a variety of applications. This highly customisable platform is capable of single recipe high-flow operations or complex low-flow R&D dilutions. Effortlessly create blends of up to 10 gas streams at total flow rates of up to 120,000 SLPM, which makes this robust enough for industrial applications. It produces consistent and accurate gas mixtures,  controlled exclusively by Alicat MFCs. Channels are match‑tuned to each other, providing variable flow mixes, outlet pressure control, and rapid responses to changing process conditions.

Gas Mixing System  – Features

  • Accuracy up to ± 0.6% of the targeted mix percentage
  • Up to 25 ms control response for individual MFCs (T63)
  • Onboard library of 49 selectable gas calibrations (some corrosives & refrigerants available)
  • Blend pure gases and/or multi-constituent premixed gases (up to 10 elemental gases managed at once)
  • Embedded Systems computer with integrated outlet pressure sensing module
  • Hi-resolution touchscreen interface for live, interactive, multi‑variate data monitoring
