Vaporizer Flex
Add water or alcohol vapor to any gas mixture
The DENSsolutions Vaporizer Flex lets you independently add vapor to any gas mixture supplied by the Gas Supply System. It is plug and play: the unit connects between the gas system and the holder with a dedicated vapor-optimized tubing set, and its reservoir takes any liquid that is chemically compatible with the system, from water to alcohols.
Key benefits
Discover the Vaporizer Flex
Switch between dry and wet in minutes
The Flex is an add-on: it connects or disconnects in a matter of minutes, so a standard gas experiment becomes a vapor experiment and back again. Once mounted, intuitive manual valves switch between dry, intermediate and wet operation in under five minutes.
Relative humidity covers 10 to 90% for water and 1 to 99% for alcohols, stable to within 2%, and the vapor content is measured with the gas analyzer.
Work with a wide range of liquids, safely
The Flex is based on the bubbler principle, so there is no risk of condensation, no compromise on gas compatibility, and the reservoir is easily exchangeable. Any liquid that is chemically compatible with the system can be used, from water to alcohols.
An integrated safety mechanism prevents backflow and keeps the system and gas lines clean, and the very low internal volume makes it safe to work with flammable liquids.
Keep your gas system free of vapor
The Vaporizer Flex sits between the gas system and the holder, so vapor is added at the last stage and never reaches the gas manifold. No manifold baking is required, which means no lengthy cleaning, pumping or baking cycles before your next experiment.
Vapor can be carried by a mixture of up to three gases, and the vapor level is controlled independently of the Nano-Reactor pressure and flow, so you can vary one parameter while the others stay steady.
Application note
The Vaporizer in action
In situ observation of the reconstruction behavior of NiAu bimetallic core-shell nanoparticles under a hybrid water-hydrogen atmosphere
In this work, we use the Vaporizer to study the reconstruction behavior of the NiAu bimetallic core-shell nanoparticles, a catalyst system highly selective to CO in CO₂ hydrogenation, under a hybrid atmosphere of water and hydrogen. It is demonstrated that the Vaporizer enables the successful and controllable introduction of water vapor into the NiAu nanocatalysis system to study the negative effect of water during CO₂ hydrogenation reaction.
