Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Gas Inlet Manifold

Definition

The Gas Inlet Manifold is a critical component of a Gas Purging Station, serving as the primary entry and distribution point for the purge gas. It receives gas from the main supply line and evenly distributes it to multiple outlet ports, ensuring consistent flow and pressure to various sections or tools within the purging system. Its design is crucial for maintaining system efficiency and safety during purging operations. The manifold is typically constructed from materials such as stainless steel (e.g., 304, 316), carbon steel, or brass, depending on the application requirements. Key parameters include an operating pressure range of 1.0–1.6 MPa (with a note that), inlet connection sizes from DN50 to DN200 (flange type per customer request, per DIN EN 1092-1), and a customizable number of outlets ranging from 2 to 8. Outlet connection sizes range from DN15 to DN80, with threaded or flanged options per DIN EN 1092-1. Flow capacity is 100–1000 Nm³/h based on air at 1.0 MPa inlet. Material options include 316L (optional 304 or duplex) per ASTM A240. Surface finish can be electropolished to Ra ≤ 0.8 μm per ISO 4287 for clean gas applications. Operating temperature range is -40–85°C for non-freezing media. Leakage rate is ≤ 0.1 mL/min at 1.1 × rated pressure. Weight ranges from 15–120 kg depending on size and outlets. These values are reference ranges and must be verified for the specific model and application with the legal manufacturer or supplier. The manifold's design ensures balanced pressure distribution and minimizes pressure drops across the system, contributing to efficient and safe purging operations.

Working Principle

The manifold operates by receiving pressurized gas through a single inlet port. Internal channels or chambers within the manifold body divide and direct the gas flow to multiple outlet ports. Valves or regulators may be integrated to control the flow to individual outlets. The design ensures balanced pressure distribution and minimizes pressure drops across the system. The operating pressure range is 1.0–1.6 MPa, with a note that The number of outlets can be customized from 2 to 8, and outlet connection sizes range from DN15 to DN80 with threaded or flanged options. Flow capacity is 100–1000 Nm³/h based on air at 1.0 MPa inlet. The manifold is available in materials such as 316L (optional 304 or duplex) per ASTM A240, and surface finish can be electropolished to Ra ≤ 0.8 μm per ISO 4287. Operating temperature range is -40–85°C for non-freezing media. Leakage rate is ≤ 0.1 mL/min at 1.1 × rated pressure. These parameters are reference ranges and must be confirmed for the specific application.
