Gasflow calculation for LEARN:
Do not apply a different gasflow for learn than determined below. Otherwise pressure control
performance may be insufficient.
Note: Required pressure / flow regime must be known to calculate the most suitable learn gas flow for a specific
application.
1. At first it is necessary to find out about the required control range respectively its conductance values. Each working
point (pressure / flow) must be calculated with one following formulas.
Choose the applicable formula depending on units you are familiar with.
