The principle is based on the dynamic mixture of 5 to 16 standard gases (customized systems for up to 20 gases are possible). No need for manual computations, the software does automatic calculation of dilution and span gas flows, based on desired concentration, even for very complex mixtures. Regular sequences may be saved and recalled at any time. The Hurricane can be remotely controlled and/or the start command of an analyzer. An audit trail function ensures a total traceability of the operations carried out.
The GasMix™ Hurricane provides an automated, cost effective way of on-site gas preparation and helps in the management of the following aspects :
- Optimizing the cost and efficiency of gas cylinders
- Reducing the number of necessary gas standards
- Managing cylinder expiration dates
- Reduction of Operator Bench Time
- Increase productivity, safety and application flexibility
Application areas for the GasMix™ Hurricane include generation of complex synthetic gas mixtures for testing interferences, development and validation of chemo metrics models for FTIR, RAMAN and other spectrometers. It is also used in :
- Manufacturing – test bench for gas sensors quality control, LOD-LOQ and linearity checks
- Petrochemical – Oil & Gas in laboratories – Calibration of RGA analysers

FReD
FReD is optional automated flow regulator for GasMix™ product line (except Zephyr). It is designed as external module to be placed downstream to the diluter. This optional used to regulate the outlet flow rate sent to the analyzer, sending the rest of the non-used gas to the vent. The output flow rate can be set and accurately controlled directly by GasMix™ software. Une marque Alytech.
