Drytek1 & Drytek2 users -
Freon 13B1 (like Freon 115) is no longer available
for purchase in the US, as it is unkind to the environment.
That is why the current bottle of F-13B1 will not be replaced.
Currently our Dryteks use one MFC that must be switched
between F-13B1 & F-22 gas sources.
I would like to know if there are any users
still using recipes that include F-13B1 in either
Drytek1 or Drytek2. If not, we can eliminate the F-13B1
and dedicate one MFC to use only Freon-22, and have the
digital readouts for F-22 flow read directly in sccm,
and no longer have to use a multiplication factor with
the readout value, to determine real sccm of F-22 flow.
If you are still using any recipes with F-13B1
please reply to me within the next two weeks (by July 25)
so we can decide if F-13B1 can be eliminated.
thank you,
Len
