iFlow: specialty gas VMB systems
Optimize your operations with manual, semi-automatic, and fully-automatic systems designed to distribute specialty gases safely.
Safe & reliable specialty gas distribution.
Air Liquide offers a comprehensive range of Valve Manifold Boxes (VMB) and Panels (VMP) designed to distribute specialty gases for optimized safety and operations. Whether you require inert, flammable, or toxic gas distribution, our equipment ensures a small footprint and highly reliable components that can be readily integrated into existing or new facilities.
- Exceptional reliability: Maintain continuous operations with an uptime > 99.9993%, MTBF > 3500 hours, and MTTR < 2 hours.
- Cost-effective: Experience an optimized cost of ownership driven by a modularized design and low spare parts cost.
- A System for every need:
- iFlow (Manual): Compact valve manifold panels ideal for inert specialty gas distribution.
- vFlow (Semi-automatic): Features automatic stick shut down interlocks to safely handle corrosive, toxic, and flammable gases.
- xFlow (Fully-automatic): Advanced systems with an enhanced safety automatic purge program and a 10" color HMI.
- Customs : Advanced and customised systems mitigating safety and complying customers specifications and needs
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the standard peak flow rate for the VMB systems?
The standard peak flow rate across our iFlow, vFlow, and xFlow systems is 0-20 slpm. Custom solution flowrate can be adapted to the requirements
How do the VMB’s systems handle hazardous gases?
Both systems feature automatic shutdown interlocks, FMEA analysis, and CE/UL electrical ratings and compliance to Ex area (ATEX / Class1 Div2 / IECEX) for optimal safety.
Can the configurations be customized?
Yes, special configurations are available on demand with modularized designs ranging from 2 up to 10 sticks. Stacking VMB is also doable to save footprint.
