ZIRCONIA OXYGEN ANALYZER
CO2
Recovery plants PPM O2 analysis in CO2 from TPI Reboiler -Stripper
system
The Zirconia Oxygen Analyzer utilizes an advanced zirconia sensor
to accurately determine oxygen content in process gases.Microprocessor-based
electronics and other improvements allow measurements from ppm levels
to 100 %oxygen.
Accurate & stable Oxygen measurement in gases from 0.1 ppm
to 100%
Fast,easy one-point calibration
Trouble-free performance
Low maintenace
Applications & Uses.
The Zirconia Oxygen Analyzer is suitable for monitoring and/or controlling
gas streams or atmospheres such as in air separation, heat treating,ceramic
manufacturing and other processes. For dirty or wet gas applications,a
suitable sampling system may be required.
How It Works.
Sample gas enters the inlet port through a needle valve and flows
into a ceramic inlet tube.It then flows through the annular space
between the inlet tube and the inside of the zirconium oxide oxygen
sensor,then out through the outlet port and a flowmeter.When there
are no combustibles present in the sample gas,the analyzer measures
total oxygen.When combustibles are present,a platinum based catalyst,at
the end of the ceramic tube,ensures that the sample reaches equilibrium
before contacting the inner electrode. It is therefore possible to
measure either oxygen excess or deficiency in air/fuel mixtures.
The zirconium oxide sensor is heated and closely controlled at 700
°C (1292 °F).As the sample contacts the inner electrode of the heated
sensor,an electrical signal is generated,proportional to the logarithm
of the ratio of the oxygen concentration in the sample gas to the
oxygen concentration in a reference gas contacting the outer electrode.The
digital display/output unit displays O2 in ppm or %.It also displays
other parameters including O2 sensor millivolts and sensor temperature
in °C or °F.Ambient air is used as the reference gas on the outside
of the electrochemical cell.
