Under vertical lighting this condensation appears as an accumulation of little round black spots evenly distributed over the entire surface of the condensation mirror (ILLUSTRATION 6). In the case of hydrocarbons, precipitated condensates accumu- late in the form of a thin film on the surface of the mirror (Illustra- tion 7).

    The electronic module controls the analyzer’s processes (cool- ing/heating); records the mirror temperature and regulates the photoelectric registration system. The Hygrovision BL is operated by means of control buttons and the touch screen display. Recorded dew point values can be downloaded by means of an IR port and an RS 485 interface.

The period of observation is listed in minutes.
  • Page 92 Reading the analyzer’s current calibration values The first step in the process of calibrating the Hygrovision BL is to “read” the current values in the devices on-board calibration table. Click on the “Device” drop-down menu and select “Read”. The values stored on-board the analyzer will be called up and displayed in the table to the right.
  • Page 93 ILLUSTRATION& & 86:&Calibration&dialogue&window& To (re)calibrate the Hygrovision BL, enter the DP(W) value measured by a reference instrument in the column labeled “Calibrated”. The corresponding dew point value measured by the Hygrovision BL (that is being calibrated) is entered in the “Measured” column.
  • Page 94 22. A PPENDIX 22.1. ESCRIPTION OF THE CALIBRATION PROCEDURE FOR HYDROCARBONS In order to increase accuracy, settings for the hydrocarbon measurement channel can be fine tuned in the Hydrocarbons calibration mode. Calibration is carried out using a reference medium. The hydrocarbon dew point is given by the generator (connected to the analyzer for purposes of calibration) or determined under operating conditions with the aid of a reference analyzer.
  • Page 95 Individual calibration results are listed in the table on the analyzer’s display (T ±2 °C in 0.5 °C intervals). given The signal level that corresponds to the given HC dew point (in bold) will automatically be stored in the ana- lyzer’s memory as the HC calibration parameter.
