Vaporizer output calculation

In calculating vaporizer output, you must consider three flow streams – “vaporizer inflow,” the volume of fresh gas diverted into the vaporizing chamber, per minute, “diluent flow,” the volume of fresh gas diverted around the vaporizing chamber, per minute, and “vapor outflow.”

Application of the principle of conservation of mass to these three flow streams allows one to calculate the mass or partial pressure of any gas in any flow stream. For detailed calculations and equations, see Source 1.
