  • Page 9: Introduction

    INTRODUCTION In combustion processes, such as, for example, in large furnaces in which the nitrogen dioxide content amounts to more than 5 % of the nitrogen oxide emission, continuous measurement of nitrogen oxide consisting of nitrogen monoxide NO and nitrogen dioxide NO is prescribed by law in Germany and many other countries.

  • Page 11: Operating Principle Of The Conversion

    OPERATING PRINCIPLE OF THE CONVERSION The conversion of nitrogen dioxide NO into nitrogen monoxide NO passes according to the following reaction equation: 2 NO 2 NO + O The reaction equilibrium is shifted at room temperature onto the side of the original material NO .
  • Page 12: Selection Of The Appropriate Catalyst Material

    SELECTION OF THE APPROPRIATE CATALYST MATERIAL For the conversion, as noted preliminary, two catalyst materials are available. As a standard material, a carbon-molybdenum mixture type C is used as catalyst. The carbon support- ing material guarantees optimal contact between the gas to be converted and the surface of the catalyst combined with a simultaneously low flow resistance.
  • Page 13: Cross Sensitivities And Influence Of Interfering/Carrier Gas

    High NO -concentrations, especially in connection with high flow ratios need higher operating temperatutres of the converter, in particular the start up process of the maximum values. N O T E ! High operating temperatures of the converter, especially the start up process of the maximum values leads to an increased abrasion of con- verter components, in particular sealing- and oven-components! N O T E !
  • Page 14 Sulfur dioxide (SO In the operating temperature range of the catalyst type SS of >600 °C [1112 °F] N O T E ! existing concentrations of sulfur dioxide are partially destroyed (oxydised). This fact can lead to faulty measurements in a downstream SO -measurement.

    RECEIVING THE CG… The CG... converter is a completely pre-installed unit. The standard catalyst cartridge supplied is already installed. • Remove the CG... converter and any accessories carefully from the transport packaging immediately after arrival and check the contents of the delivery against the delivery note; •...
  • Page 19: Supply Connections

    SUPPLY CONNECTIONS 14.1 HOSE/TUBE CONNECTIONS The gas inlet and outlet hoses/tubes of versions CG-2/-2M are connected on the rear of the converter. Here, the standard executions provides G 1/4" threaded joints. The versions CG-2H-W/-2MH-W as wall mounting execution with heated sample gas inlet and outlet are equipped with a 6 mm tube connector of stainless steel.

    14.2 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS The wrong mains voltage can destroy the device. When connecting, take care that the mains voltage corresponds with the information provided on the type identification plate! For the erection of power installations with rated voltages up to 1000 V, the requirements of VDE 0100 and relevant standards and specifications must be observed! N O T E !
  • Page 21: Starting-Up

    If the converter is controlled internally, the bridge between contacts 1 and 6 in the D-sub plug is absolutely necessary! N O T E ! External switching is carried out by the customer using potential-free contacts (see figure 6). If the converter is controlled externally, the bridge between contacts 1 and 6 in the D-sub plug must be removed! N O T E ! With external control, the switch on the front plate of the converter is out of function.
  • Page 22: Closing Down

    CLOSING DOWN The location at which the converter is mounted must remain frost-free even when the device is switched off! N O T E ! No special measures need to be taken when the converter is taken out of operation for a short period. In order to avoid unnecessary consumption of the catalyst and to ensure that the catalyst is ready for use at short notice, the catalyst temperature should be reduced below 300 °C [572 °F] in the "stand-by"...
