Performance Curves

The document includes graphs illustrating performance characteristics:

• Water Flow Rate (ml/min) versus Pressure Drop (psid and bard).
• Water Flow Rate (ml/min) versus % Dissolved Oxygen Removal and estimated Vacuum Volume (ml/min).

These curves represent nominal values, generated using water on the Lumenside at 20°C with 50 torr of vacuum drawn on both Shellside ports. An estimated vacuum volume guideline is based on a flow rate at 20°C, 50 Torr. Characteristics may change under different operating conditions. See the official PDF for exact tabulated values and full curve details.
