2.3.4.3 Electronic Vaporizer Manifold Assembly (for A9) 
The electronic vaporizer manifold assembly provides a mounting location for the electronic 
vaporizer, provides driving pressure for the drug pool of the electronic vaporizer, mixes the 
O2/air mixture at the input end with the anesthetic gas in the electronic vaporizer to form fresh 
gas, and delivers the fresh gas to the common gas outlet. 
The schematic diagram of the electronic vaporizer manifold assembly is shown below. The drive 
gas from the front gas inlet is divided into six ways. Three ways provide driving pressure for the 
large-diameter valve (13.3) in the bypass branch, the large-diameter valves (13.12 and 13.13) in 
the branch of canister 1, and the large-diameter valves (13.5 and 13.6) in the branch of canister 2. 
Two ways provide driving pressure for the pneumatically-controlled lock (13.15) of canister 1 
and the pneumatically-controlled lock (13.17) of canister 2. The remaining one way provides 
driving pressure for the electronic vaporizer after the pressure is regulated to 150±5 kPa (22 psi) 
through the regulator (13.1). The three-way valve (13.2) is used to switch on/off the bypass 
branch. The three-way valve (13.11) is used to switch on/off the branch of canister 1. The 
three-way valve (13.4) is used to switch on/off the branch of canister 2. The three-way valve 
(13.8) is used to control the pressurization/relief of the drive gas in canister 1. The three-way 
valve (13.7) is used to control the pressurization/relief of the drive gas in canister 2. The 
three-way valve (13.14) is used to control the pressurization/relief of the 
pneumatically-controlled lock drive gas in canister 1. The three-way valve (13.16) is used to 
control the pressurization/relief of the pneumatically-controlled lock drive gas in canister 2. The 
large-diameter valves and three-way valves are integrated in the electronic vaporizer control 
module for controlling the gas from the electronic vaporizer to flow through the branch of 
canister 1, the branch of canister 2, or the bypass branch, and controlling the pressurization/relief 
of the electronic vaporizer drive gas as well as the locking/unlocking of the 
pneumatically-controlled lock. The pneumatically-controlled lock (13.15) of canister 1 and 
pneumatically-controlled lock (13.17) of canister 2 are used to lock the electronic vaporizer 
during the operation of the electronic vaporizer, to prevent accidental unplugging during the 
operation.
