NTRODUCTION 1.1 OVERVIEW The Model 951C NOx Analyzer is designed to measure NOx using one of two sets of ranges designated as Hi or Lo. The Hi Range set consists of spans with ranges of 0-100, 0-250, 0-1000, and 0-2500 ppm NOx. The Lo Range set consists of spans with ranges of 0-10, 0-25, 0-100, and 0-250 ppm NOx.
NTRODUCTION 1.2 APPLICATIONS The Model 951C Analyzer has specific applications in the following areas: • Oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels in: Vehicle engine exhaust Incinerators Boilers Gas appliances Turbine exhaust • Nitric acid plant emissions •...

ANGE ELECTION The Model 951C has eight customer selectable ranges, four LO ranges (10 ppm, 25 ppm, 100 ppm and 250 ppm) and four HI ranges (100 ppm, 250 ppm 1000 ppm and 2500 ppm). The range is selected by positioning the RANGE Switch (S1) and the three jumpers on the Signal Board to the desired range controlling the recorder output.
The ozone-producing UV lamp will not ignite or stay lit unless adequate air pressure is present at the AIR inlet (see Figure 2-4). Nominal set point pressure is 20 to 25 psig. Model 951C NOx Analyzer December 2000 Rosemount Analytical...
Note reading on internal SAMPLE Pressure Gauge. It should be the same as in Step 3b. Note Supply pressures for sample and upscale standard gases must be the same. Otherwise, readout will be in error. The analyzer is now ready for calibration. 748214-P Rosemount Analytical December 2000 Model 951C NOx Analyzer...
After calibrating analyzer per Section 3.3, supply sample to SAMPLE inlet. Set PPM RANGE Switch in appropriate position. The instrument will now continuously analyze the sample stream. The Model 951C is designed for continuous operation. Normally, it is never turned off except for servicing or for a prolonged shutdown. Note During periods of shutdown, turn off the ozone lamp by shutting off the input air source.
3.5 CONVERTER TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE Once the appropriate high voltage and electronic gain have been selected such that the named calibration gas value is indicated by the Model 951C, the instrument is ready for adjustment of the converter temperature. The vitreous carbon converter used in this analyzer has a low surface area which gradually increases during high temperature operation of the converter material.
