A customer asks, “What does a potentiometer do?”
A potentiometer allows you to control voltage by turning a ***, like the one on your car
stereo. Alicat’s IPC allows you to control a mass
flow setpoint by turning the ***. Since Halloween is just days away, we’ll
demonstrate our IPC using our new Alicat-O-Lantern. Here, we connect a supply of propane to a
mass flow controller. The outlet goes to a bunsen burner inside
our carved pumpkin. Let’s get started!
First, we select propane from our Gas Select menu.
Then, as we increase the mass flow rate, the flame grows brighter and brighter.
[sound of increasing gas flow inside the pumpkin] Our color backlit display lets us monitor
the change, even in the dark! What do you want to see next?
