The ETHOS EZ is equipped with the most advanced reaction sensors, enabling direct temperature and pressure control in a single reference vessel and contactless (indirect) temperature and pressure control in all vessels.

Temperature Control

The direct temperature sensor is a thermocouple which is much more rugged than fiber optic designs, while indirect temperature measurement is by an IR sensor that measures the external temperature of the vessels. Temperature monitoring in all vessels in real time is displayed via TEMP-SURE.

Pressure Control

Although pressure control is much more critical in systems that use burst disk technology, since the consequences of an over-pressure occurrence are much more severe, Milestone’s pressure sensors are the most advanced available. The direct pressure sensor is a transducer design while indirect pressure control is via a unique QP (Quality Pressure) sensor, which is a highly sensitive electronic nose that can detect minute quantities of NO_x vapors that diffuse through the vessel walls at high pressure. The QP pressure sensor effectively measures pressure in all vessels and will reduce microwave power when NO_x levels exceed the set concentration.
