Fusion Gas Mixing Software

We have developed a rugged, advanced and intuitive software to easily manipulate every aspect of your gas mixing application. Current gas mixing software offerings in the market have limited capacity and do not have critical abilities required for a high performing gas mixing system. The gas mixing software displays individual channel data and overall gas mixture data live at all times for the user to monitor. You have several modes of operation, listed below, to choose from. In all the operational modes, you decide the individual gas composition for each channel. This can be changed during the process, and the response times for a change is generally below 50ms. The operational modes that Fusion Gas Mixing software offer are:

Tank fill mode: This mode is used for applications where a mixed gas fills a ballast tank. You choose the maximum and minimum tank pressure, and the gas mixer will fill the ballast tank and maintain the pressure between the limits all while consistently maintaining the mix ratios in the ballast tank. This is particularly useful in cases where usage of mixed gas varies over a time period. For instant in MAP food packaging, welding, gas sensor, etc. assembly lines, a constant supply of gas is required at multiple locations. When the usage amount decreases and becomes nil when staff leave for lunch break or at the end of the day, the gas mixer will continue to fill the tank till the upper limit and shut off automatically. This feature increases the efficiency of gas usage and ensure there is no wastage.

Constant flow mode: This mode is straight-forward and most used in gas mixing applications. You will just have to set the gas mix ratios and the desired flow rate of the final mixture which the gas mixer will maintain at all times.

Pressure match: we are the only company that offers this operational mode. The gas mixing system allows the user to control the pressure of the gas mixture and therefore control the process pressure. Several applications in R&D, vacuum industry, laser industry, etc. need this feature and currently employ exorbitant costs to obtain this capability.

You can switch from one operational mode to another with ease based on your requirements. Apart from the ability to change the basic parameters, our software provides several critical features that allow users to maximize their efficiency. Some of the advanced features are listed below. One or a combination of the following features can be used to implement full-fledged automation of the gas mixing process:

Gas Mix Pre-sets: You can save the parameters like gas mix ratios and flow rates/pressures you typically use and call upon them at any time. This minimizes occurrences of human-error by more than 15%.

Automation using pre-sets: You can choose a gas mix pre-set to run for a specific period of time and change the pre-set and time period on-the-fly, infinite times. For use cases where a constant change is required, you can interpolate between several gas mix pre-sets by choosing time and ramp rates. Integrating with downstream/upstream process control instruments: Components like mass flow controllers, mass flow meters, pressure gauges and pressure controllers external to the gas mixing system can be controlled with gas mixing software. Based on your requirement, you can use the software from a desktop remotely or use an industrial PC panel that we offer. Data is the most valuable asset in present day, with the Fusion Flow Technologies Gas Mixer, you will be able to save all the gas mixing data that you need for post processing. Several customers of ours have been using the gas mix data from our gas mixer for FDA and quality audits. Since all our instruments are NIST traceable, you can be assured that you will maintain highest standards in the industry.

We understand that some applications may not need a complete software package to perform gas mixing and we have options for those scenarios as well. In cases where this software is not required, you can choose to have a simple TFT display to control the gas mixer by setting simple set points like gas mix ratios and flow rates and keep your costs down.

Modular Gas Mixing System – Component Level Supply

The modular gas mixing system was developed to empower users of gas mixers to embrace the researcher in them. It gives you the ability to pick and choose each parameter that goes into designing the gas mixing system. You can pair high flow channels, medium flow channels and low flow channels for any bespoke gas mixing application. Our engineering team developed this customer-led solution to give utmost control of the gas mixer system in the hands of the customer. In case you are not fully aware of what is needed to design a gas mixing system, contact us at what goes into gas mixing system design and we will help you figure it out.

With the modular gas mixing system you will get the individual components along with supporting accessories required for a functional gas mixer setup.

You get the freedom to choose the orientation and setup of the gas mixing system. We give you the choice to decide how the entire system needs to be plumbed.

Gas Mixer users who need very small footprint can place individual components right next to each other. If your cylinders and process equipment are placed far away from each other, you can even choose to place individual components in different rooms and have a fully functional gas mixing system.

Freedom is not the only benefit you get with a modular gas mixing system, the price become more attractive as a result of minimizing the number of external components required to make a gas mixing system. This option eliminates the need for metal components or cumbersome enclosure.

Since there is no enclosure, you can access individual mass flow controllers; minimizing effort that goes into servicing and replacements. Access to individual mass flow controllers can be used as an additional point of reference to increase confidence in readings. As a user of a gas mixing system, your needs might change over time. Cases where a 3-channel gas mixing system needs to be upgraded to a 4-channel or 5-channel system is common. As a customer of Fusion Flow Technologies, you will only have to pay for the extra component as opposed to upgrading to a whole new system. This option keeps costs down, and significantly increases the time it takes to upgrade.

Users who need the dynamic gas mixer to have automation capability, advanced data logging capability, integration with external systems and an easy way to manipulate the gas mixing system can use the Fusion Gas Mixing software. The software allows to control the system centrally. You can purchase a dedicated industrial PC panel to control the entire setup, the PC panel can be fixed to a cabinet or be placed in any customer-preferred location. Optionally you can also use the software through your desktop or laptop. If the gas mixing setup is going to simple with minimal changes to set points. You can also choose to simply control the system with the master component called the mix-module. Mix-module is a pressure gauge with specialized firmware that communicates with every individual component 1000 times a second to ensure the gas mixing set points are maintained.
