Version 1.03.0000
A special characteristic of the Whisper 0-Hybrid is the momentary stop of the compressor if the LC-MS is not
using nitrogen. This momentary stop is regulated by a pneumatic control valve pre-calibrated by VICI DBS to
lengthen the life span of the compressor and at the same time help save energy.

Nitrogen Output
Atmospheric air contains nitrogen (78.1%), oxygen (20.9%), argon (1%), carbon dioxide, water vapor, and
traces of inert gases. The compressed air (A) is forced through the hollow fiber membrane (B). The various
components of the air permeate the porous membrane walls.
