    Contents of this Manual This manual contains the following information: • Section 1: ProTech903 H S and Total Sulfur Analyzer presents introductory information about the system and the mode of operation. • Section 2: Analyzer Components describes the design of the major components of the system.
  • Page 16: Section 2 Analyzer Components

    Section 1. An overview of the major components of the analyzer is presented in Figure 2-1. The total sulfur version of the ProTech903 includes the total sulfur furnace (Section 2.9). An external sample conditioning system is available as an option (Section 2.10).

  • Page 18: Motherboard

    Motherboard 2.2.1 Description of the Motherboard The motherboard is housed in an enclosure and consists of a large main board which houses the system memory, system’s clock battery, the AC and DC power supplies, 6 isolated analog outputs, 6 relays, 8 solenoids, 4 (Wet contact) discrete inputs and 4 (Dry contact) discrete inputs.
  • Page 19: Intrinsically Safe Barrier Board (Peripheral Interface)

    Intrinsically Safe Barrier Board (Peripheral Interface) For Class 1, Division 1 systems, all electrical connections between the electronics enclosure and the chassis must pass through an intrinsically safe barrier. The intrinsically safe barrier connections are shown in Figure 2-2. Class 1, Division 2 analyzers do not employ an intrinsically safe barrier.
  • Page 20: Display Board Communication Ports

    2.4.2 Display Board Communication Ports The system has two distinct communications ports housed on the display board. A USB/RS- 232 port is located on the right side of the display board. A pair of switches that can be set for USB or RS232 communications is located on the reverse side of this board on the bottom left hand corner.
  • Page 21: Tape Transport System

    Tape Transport System The tape transport system is responsible for advancing the tape and ensuring that the system has a fresh section of white tape available at the commencement of every analysis cycle. The tape transport system is shown in Figure 2-4. Figure 2-4: Tape Transport System The tape transport system consists of the supply and take-up reels, the drive motor, the compression head, the Optical Encoder, and the optional low-tape sensor.
  • Page 22: Optical Encoder

    2.6.2 Optical Encoder The Optical Encoder is used to ensure even spacing of stains on the lead acetate tape. The Optical Encoder is shown in Figure 2-5. Figure 2-5: Optical Encoder The left and centre pictures show the Optical Encoder as it appears when not installed in the chassis and the right picture shows how the Optical Encoder appears in the tape transport system.
  • Page 23: Sample Chamber Assembly

    Sample Chamber Assembly The sample chamber assembly is the key component in the measurement of the H concentration in the gas. The sample chamber assembly allows the sample gas to pass onto the lead acetate tape, and also contains the detector assembly, (sensor block). An exploded view of the sample chamber assembly is shown in Figure 2-6.
  • Page 24: Read/Rate Aperture Strip

    Certain ranges do not even require an aperture strip. Galvanic Applied Sciences provides a broad range of read/rate aperture strip sizes. The most common aperture strip sizes are listed in Table 2-1 along with the maximum ranges they are capable of measuring and their correct part numbers.
  • Page 25: Sensor Block

    In addition, the system is capable of measuring ranges outside those listed in this table – please contact Galvanic Applied Sciences for more details. 2.7.3...
  • Page 26: Compression Head

    reason, a Sensor Communication Alarm will be triggered and the analyzer is considered to be in a Fail State. The sensor block contains a temperature sensor that measures the ambient temperature near the sensor block. This temperature sensor can be used to trigger alarms should the ambient temperature rise above or drop below set amounts, values that can be set in the GUI.
  • Page 27: Sample Flow Related Components

    Sample Flow Related Components The system contains a number of components that control the flow of the sample and condition it. The sample flows though the humidifier and rotameter and finally out of the analyzer through the eductor. 2.8.1 Sample Humidifier The reaction between lead acetate and hydrogen sulfide is improved if the hydrogen sulfide- containing sample gas is humidified prior to coming into contact with the lead acetate.
  • Page 28: Rotameter

    2.0. In ProTech903 units that have the total sulfur option, the flow is controlled by rotameters for the hydrogen gas and sample gas in the sample conditioning system, and so the chassis rotameter does not have a flow control knob –...
  • Page 29: Eductor

    2.8.4 Eductor The eductor produces a positive pressure at the exhaust while allowing the analyzer vent to remain at ambient pressure. An eductor is shown in Figure 2-13. Figure 2-13: Eductor The eductor has two purposes: • Changes in ambient pressure can affect the results produced by the system. If the system is inside a building where there is a fluctuating static pressure in comparison to the outside ambient pressure, the eductor will eliminate any influence on the tape staining.
  • Page 30: Total Sulfur Option

    Total Sulfur Option The system is available with an oven that converts sulfur compounds to H S, so that the total sulfur content of a sample gas stream can be determined. With a dual stream setup, it is possible to measure both the H S and the total sulfur content of the same stream on the same system.
  • Page 31: Figure 2-14: Total Sulfurf

    Figure 2-14: Total Sulfur Furnace The total sulfur furnace operates on AC voltage only, so total sulfur analyzers cannot be powered by 24VDC power supplies. The temperature is controlled by modulating the power output to the furnace from the I/O board in the electronics enclosure. This modulation is set up in the application program (Section 5.9.
  • Page 32: 2.10 Sample Conditioning System

    A typical sample conditioning system for an H S-only ProTech903 analyzer is seen in Figure 2-15. Figure 2-15: Typical Sample Conditioning System The sample conditioning system generally consists of a Coalescing filter, a pressure regulator to regulate the sample down to 15 psig, and a valve to switch between calibration and sample gas to allow the system to be calibrated.
  • Page 33: Section 3 Installation

    When the system arrives, inspect the packaging for external signs of damage. If there is any obvious physical damage, contact the shipping agent and Galvanic Applied Sciences to report the damage and request that the carrier's agent be present when the unit is unpacked.

The sample lines are attached to the quartz tube by means of ultra-torr elbows (9) that have finger-tightened nuts to create an adequate seal. The reactions that decompose sulfur compounds take place inside a quartz reaction tube inside the total sulfur enclosure.

    e) Repeat steps c and d for the other end of the tube. Replace the end caps on the furnace enclosure. Be sure to align the threads correctly. The end-caps will screw on very easily if the threads are aligned correctly. DO NOT FORCE! Cross threading will seriously impair the explosion proof nature of the enclosure.

  • Page 53: Testing The Analyzer

    Testing the Analyzer Allow the analyzer to run on sample gas for approximately 1 hour. After 1 hour, inspect the stains on the tape and compare them to those in Figure 3-25. If the stains are crisp and well spaced, the compression head is sealing the tape well against the sample chamber. If the stains have fuzzy edges, check the seal again.
  • Page 54: Keypad

    Section 4 Operating the ProTech903 Analyzer via the Handheld Keypad Introduction The front panel of the analyzer includes a series of LEDs and a LCD display which provides information about the status of the spectrophotometer.
