  • Page 13: 3050-Am Moisture Analyzer

    3050-AM MOISTURE ANALYZER Overview The Model 3050-AM Moisture Analyzer reliably measures low concen- trations of moisture in high purity gases at concentrations down to 0.1 parts-per-million by volume (PPMV), using a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) sensor. The calibrated range of the analyzer is 0 to 100 PPMV with a trend indication for measured concentrations to 1000 PPMV.

  • Page 14: Controller / Communications

    One RS-232 or one RS-485 serial interface provides communication be-  tween the analyzer and your recording or data acquisition equipment. The Model 3050-AM analyzer is configured, and analyzer parameters are set, by using either the analyzer display, keypad and function keys, or us- ing an external PC.

  • Page 15: Moisture Sensor

    Moisture Sensor Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) The 3050-AM analyzer uses a quartz crystal microbalance sensor to mea- sure water vapor concentration. This is a piezoelectric device that is capa- ble of extremely sensitive mass measurement. To make the QCM sensitive to water vapor the surface is coated with a thin film of hygroscopic mate- rial.

  • Page 16: Sample Flow

    QCM-based sensor. Sample fl ow In the normal operation of the 3050-AM analyzer, the zero module (the section enclosed in the dotted line in Figure 1-2) is turned off so that the sample gas enters the analyzer and passes through diaphragm valve 2 (DV2).

  • Page 17: Zero Gas Module

    After this start-up period, the analyzer will have dried down sufficiently to increase the zeroing interval to one week. NOTE AMETEK recommends that the duration of the zero cycle be set to 120 (i.e., 2 hours). Overview...

  • Page 18: Dew/Frost Point Measurements

    Dew point values are calculated from the moisture concentration mea- surements (PPMV) and the sample or process pressure. For temperatures below 0 °C, the 3050-AM uses equations to determine the water vapor pressure over ice, rather than over super-cooled water. Thus, the 3050-AM reports a frost-point temperature consistent with the physical form of the condensed phase in a real process stream.
