(178mm x 432mm x 559mm) 1.2. THE T108 TOTAL-SULFIDES-IN-CO ANALYZER The Teledyne API Model T108 Total Sulfides in CO Analyzer, is designed to measure mixed sulfur impurities, collectively referred to as Total Sulfides (TS), in carbon dioxide (CO ) gas. Since there is no...
Introduction Teledyne API – Model T108 Addendum to T100 Manual Since the gas being analyzed is essentially CO , which generally contains no oxygen, the analyzer includes an oxygenator to add approximately 6% oxygen to the sample before it passes through the converter.
Introduction Teledyne API – Model T108 Addendum to T100 Manual 1.4. THE 501TS – TOTAL REDUCED SULFUR CONVERTER The 501TS oxidizes reduced sulfur compounds to SO in a high temperature quartz oven. 1.4.1. Heater Characteristics and Control A front-panel-mounted, programmable digital temperature controller regulates power to the heater.
Introduction Teledyne API – Model T108 Addendum to T100 Manual 1.5. INSTALLATION The T108 consists of two chassis: the analyzer and the converter. There is a power cord for each that should be plugged into the correct AC mains receptacle. See the model label on the rear panel of each chassis for the voltage and frequency configuration.
Teledyne API – Model T108 Addendum to T100 Manual Introduction Figure 1-5. T108-to-501TS Rear Panel Pneumatic Connections 1.6. OPERATION AND CALIBRATION Refer to the T100 manual for the overall operation of the SO analyzer. This unit has some unique operating characteristics and calibration procedures detailed below.
Introduction Teledyne API – Model T108 Addendum to T100 Manual 1.6.1. CO Source A source of CO that is free of sulfides is required for accurate zero calibration of the instrument. If the ‘zero gas’ used to zero the instrument is contaminated, the process gas will read artificially low, sometimes even showing a negative TS concentration.
2. TROUBLESHOOTING AND SERVICE NO POWER: Plugged in? Switched on? Circuit breaker tripped? NOT HEATING: View the PV value. Is it heating? Socket in place on back of temperature controller? Check 501TS wiring diagram in Appendix A. Thermocouple failed? Check that its leads are securely connected to the wiring block at the back of the controller.
Troubleshooting and Service Teledyne API – Model T108 Addendum to T100 Manual 2.1 SO ANALYZER MAINTENANCE Maintenance of the SO analyzer is covered in the Maintenance section of its respective manual. Unlike the T100, the T108 has one standard charcoal scrubber on the rear panel of the SO analyzer instrument chassis, and another special charcoal scrubber inside the chassis.
Teledyne API – Model T108 Addendum to T100 Manual Troubleshooting and Service use it to measure CO flow. Or use a flowmeter such as a soap bubble, or BIOS – DryCal flowmeter that measures volume flow 2. Allow the T108 to stabilize at span for at least 30 minutes.
Troubleshooting and Service Teledyne API – Model T108 Addendum to T100 Manual 2.5 THERMOCOUPLE REPLACEMENT Continuous operation at 1000 ºC will eventually degrade the performance of the thermocouple used to sense the temperature of the quartz oven. The following instructions describe how to install a new thermocouple into the Converter Heater Block.
Teledyne API – Model T108 Addendum to T100 Manual Troubleshooting and Service 10. In for installing the new thermocouple, look into the end of the Heater Block. You will preparation see that there is an indentation (cavity) in the fat part of the quartz tube. This is where the thermocouple you are installing will reside.
Apply power now. The converter is now ready for operation. 2.6 TECHNICAL SUPPORT For Technical Assistance regarding the use and maintenance of this instrument or any other Teledyne API product, contact Teledyne API’s Technical Support Department: Telephone: 800-324-5190 Email: api-techsupport@teledyne.com or access any of the service options on our website at http://www.teledyne-api.com/...
