8711 Mass Flow Controller
Brand: Burkert Fluid Control Systems
Type 8711 controls the mass flow of gases that is relevant for most applications in process technologies.
The measured value provided by the chip sensor (see the description on page 2) will be compared in the digital control electronics with the predefined set point according to the signal; if a control difference is present, the control value output to the proportional valve will be modified using a PI-control algorithm.
Due to the fact that the sensor is directly in contact with the gas a very fast response time of the MFC is reached.
In this way, the mass flow can be maintained at a fixed value or a predefined profile can be followed, regardless of pressure variations or other changes in the system. Type 8711 can optionally be calibrated for two different gases, the user is able to switch between these two gases.
As control element a direct-acting proportional valve guarantees a high sensitivity and a good control characteristics of the MFC. The MassFlowCommunicator software can be used for parameterisation and diagnosis.
