Description
FYRA Digivac Bleed Vacuum Controller for venting or bleeding in gases like room air, argon or nitrogen during vacuum processing applications. Increases molecular flow and speeds up vacuum drying.
FYRA Bleed Vacuum Controller —This bundle is set-up to allow for distillation applications like short path, freeze-drying, vacuum drying and other vacuum application that would benefit from the increase of molecular flow that you get from the bleeding of gases into your system.
Bleed air or other gases (like nitrogen or argon) into your system to control and maintain the vacuum level. This application can help you speed up the drying process.
See an example of FYRA Bleed Control here. | Showing the flow varying in order to maintain a 0.5 Torr Set-point
Benefits of Bleed Vacuum Control—The bleeding of gases into a distillation process helps increase molecular flow which increases throughput which helps improve quality of distillate by avoiding additional time and oxidation in the boiling flask
Rich remote command line interface enables the user a high degree of remote control and monitoring from any computer
Bleed Vacuum Control also helps increase molecular flow and throughput
Calibrated—Every FYRA is calibrated and pretested under actual vacuum against a NIST standard (Need NIST traceable documentation? Add this option to your order)
Applications—Ideal for introducing gases under vacuum in botanical processing to increase molecular flow, Freeze Dryer recipe control, Short Path Distillations, and Plasma Treatment Control
Use Case Example—A manufacturers wants to control their freeze drying process better, so they implement this vacuum measurement and control solution to maintain 300mT in batches to improve consistency, and can view the ongoing process from any browser by accessing vacuumnetwork.org
Measurement Range: 1 mT to 760 Torr
Accuracy Range: 1 mT to 6 Torr (need accuracy in a different range of vacuum? This configuration can be easily modified to include different sensors)
Bleed Control Range: 10 mT to 6 Torr
Applications:
Mass Flow Controller for Vacuum
Micro-dosing
Gas Mixing
Catalyst for increased molecular flow and faster vacuum drying
Microscopy
FYRA Bleed Vacuum Controller Components:
FYRA controller
536 KF25 sensor and sensor card
VacStable bleed valve and valve card
3 Simple Steps for Vacuum Process Set-up with FYRA Vacuum Controller:
Plumb the vacuum gauge(s) and valve into your vessel
Connect the sensor, power, and I/O cables into FRYA
Measure and control vacuum
FYRA/StrataVac Software: Connect USB port to laptop to take advantage of StrataCapture Software for data logging.
WiFi connected data can be used on any browser by connecting to vacuumnetwork.org to display, graph and log vacuum data

1/4" MNPT Generant Cryogenic Relief Valve - 10PSI, 22PSI, 35PSI, 50 PSI, 100PSI, 150PSI, 200PSI, 250PSI -196°C to 176°C
Generant cryogenic relief valve with a 1/4″ MNPT connection, listed for service from -196 °C to 176 °C. Eight pressure ratings are stocked – 10, 22, 35, 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 PSI – each supplied as a separate variant. Relief valves on cryogenic vessels and transfer lines vent the pressure rise produced when trapped liquid boils off to gas, so the rating has to be matched to the equipment being protected rather than chosen for convenience.
