It works by controlling the vaporization of anesthetic agents from liquid, and then accurately controlling the concentration in which these are added to the fresh gas flow

. The design of these devices takes account of varying: ambient temperature, fresh gas flow, and agent vapor pressure.

What is the function of vaporizer?

A vaporizer or vaporiser, colloquially known as a vape, is a device used to vaporize substances for inhalation. Plant substances can be used, commonly cannabis, tobacco, or other herbs or blends of essential oil.

How is temperature compensated for with vaporizers?

Modern vaporizers are temperature compensated (hence the Tec series). The most commonly used methods are: Bimetallic strips: consisting of two metal strips with different coefficients of thermal expansion. As temperature decreases, the strip bends, allowing more fresh gas flow to enter the vaporizing chamber.
