  • Page 7: Introduction

    Sampling System User’s Manual INTRODUCTION The Condumax II Transportable Hydrocarbon Dew-Point Analyzer Sampling System should be used in conjunction with the Condumax II Hydrocarbon Dew-Point Analyzer User’s Manual. The sampling system is in a custom designed, heavy duty, 316 stainless steel carry case.
  • Page 8: Figure 1 Flow Schematic

    The water dew point is measured at full pipeline pressure, to determine the highest water dew point for the gas sample being analyzed. The complete Condumax II Hydrocarbon Dew-Point Analyzer Sampling System can be located close to the gas sample take-off point in a potentially explosive environment - suitable for IEC Zone 1 or 2 hazardous area, NEC Class 1, Division 1, Groups B, C, D.
  • Page 9: Figure 2 Components

    Condumax II Transportable INTRODUCTION Sampling System User’s Manual The gas handling components are as follows: Coalescing Filter (F1) Provides protection of the moisture sensor within the Condumax II instrument. Pressure Gauge (PG1) Provides indication of sample gas inlet pressure. Pressure Regulator (PR1) Allows the user to manually set the sample gas analysis pressure for hydrocarbon dew-point measurement.

    (electrical) connections only have been disconnected. Before commencement of the start-up procedure ensure that the power connections to the Condumax II are fully isolated and, if necessary, observe the stipulated de-energization period of 45 minutes.
  • Page 13: Sample Flow Start Up Procedure

    OPERATION Sampling System User’s Manual Sample Flow Start Up Procedure Unscrew and remove the Condumax II fl ameproof enclosure cover after fi rst loosening the hex grub screw. The user interface/display assembly uses two ¼-turn bayonet style fasteners, (fi nger operated), to secure it - turn clockwise to lock, counter- clockwise to release.
  • Page 14 NOTE: Make sure the hex grub screw is tightened to prevent inadvertent removal. After the fl ameproof enclosure cover has been refi tted, the Condumax II is ready for power up. Apply the power supply to the system.
  • Page 15: Sample Flow Shut Down Procedure

    Isolate the Sampling System from the power supply. If moving, transporting or storing the Condumax II, remove the sample hoses and refi t the caps to the quick connect couplings. Note the orientation requirements in Section 2.1.
  • Page 16: Pressure Regulator Temperature Control

    Condumax II Transportable OPERATION Sampling System User’s Manual Pressure Regulator Temperature Control This operation will expose electrical parts operating at high voltage. Therefore, power must be isolated from the supply for the Sampling System before making adjustments. DANGER Electric Shock Risk The heated pressure regulator contains an adjustment for the temperature control set-point (factory-set to approximately +24ºC (+75°F)).
