In standard dynamic control mode, when conditions are appropriate, a second stage of
pressure control is used to maintain the target pressure value within very narrow hold limits.
The second stage is thermal pressure control (TPC). TPC, uses a pressurized volume
containing a heating element(9). There is a forced air cooling system around the volume.
Heating and cooling the gas in the volume causes it to expand or contract, increasing or
decreasing pressure. This pressure control system allows extremely fine pressure control
without hysteresis or wear of mechanical parts.
The TPC system response is dependent on the pressure and the volume connected to the
TEST
port. It is minimally effective when there are leaks in the test system or the test volume
is large. PPCH-G automatically determines whether conditions are appropriate to use TPC
and runs an automated routine to determine the test volume. This routine is initiated
automatically when needed.
If the PPCH-G includes a second, Lo Q-RPT(13), valves are included to isolate and vent the
Lo Q-RPT when it is not being used. The valves are operated automatically to connect the
Lo Q-RPT when it is selected for use or to isolate it and vent it when it is not being used.
