Abstract
An anesthetic dispensing device includes a first gas branch carrying breathing gas through an anesthetic evaporator to a mixer unit. A second gas branch carries breathing gas to the mixer unit. A proportional valve in the second gas branch receives a valve control signal to set a valve opening. A control unit determines a first gas branch flow and a second gas branch flow and a desired chamber pressure of an evaporator chamber of the anesthetic evaporator based on a predefined desired concentration and the branch flows. The control unit determines a desired valve opening of the proportional valve as a function of the desired chamber pressure and to output this as a valve control signal. The desired valve opening is determined such that the desired chamber pressure within the anesthetic dispensing device is reached in the first gas branch due to the desired valve opening.
