8. Напредне функције

8.1. Understanding H2O Saturation

The VGW-10X can help assess the physical status of H2O in a cooling system by comparing ambient temperature and water saturation temperature.

Diagram illustrating how the Xetron vacuum gauge helps determine the physical status of H2O in a cooling system by comparing ambient temperature and water saturation temperature. It shows icons for H2O in liquid state and H2O in vapor state, with a visual representation of water boiling under vacuum.

Figure 8.1: H2O Status in Cooling System

By measuring both ambient temperature (Tamb) and the water saturation temperature (TH2O) corresponding to the vacuum level, the gauge can automatically determine if H2O is likely in a liquid or vapor state within the system. This feature is crucial for ensuring thorough dehydration during evacuation processes.

8.2. Температурна компензација

The device incorporates an advanced ambient compensating design to maintain accuracy across varying temperature conditions.
