Simplified schematic drawing of the North American Dräger
Vapor 19.1 vaporizer. Automatic temperature-compensating mechanisms in bypass chambers
maintain a constant vaporizer output with varying temperatures. An expansion element
directs a greater proportion of gas flow through the bypass chamber as temperature
increases. (Modified from Andrews JJ, Brockwell RC: Delivery systems for
