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.


SPECIFICATIONS: PERFORMANCE.
Accuracy: 0.1 ppm from 0 to 5 ppm or ±2% of reading.
Repeatability: ±0.2%of reading (sensor output).
Response time: Less than 1 second for 90%of step change.
Stability: Less than 0.1%of sensor output per month drift.
Atmospheric pressure influence: No effect if sampling gas is vented to the atmosphere; otherwise 0.13%of reading per mm Hg.
Line voltage influence: No effect on sensor output.
Ambient temperature influence: No effect.
Sample flow rate influence: No effect if sample flow rate equals 1000 ± 150 cc/min (2.1 ± 0.3 SCFH)
Background gas variation effect: No effect if sample gas is clean, dry and free of combustibles.

FEATURES
