If the bypass or drain valve is closed, water build-up can damage the
separator.
NOTE
Check the filter on the liquid separator for contamination every two
weeks and replace if necessary. Once you determine a pattern as to how
long the filter can be used, you can adjust the time interval between
NOTE
replacements. Check and, if necessary, replace after any known process
event.
5.
Check all sample input and exhaust fittings for leaks.
The following suggestions will help to minimize issues with the sampling
system:
1.
A pre-filter is recommended to prevent liquids and particulates from entering
the analyzer. The 5100 HD includes a membrane filter, but this should
be considered the last resort protection for the sample cell. An upstream
membrane filter should be installed if there is a chance of liquids and/or
particulates being present in the sample gas.
2.
Any condensate that drains from the membrane filters may contain hazardous
and/or corrosive substances. Handle with caution and dispose of properly.
3.
AMETEK offers sample system components such as heater pressure
reducers, probes, and sample lines, which, together with a heated analyzer
oven, minimize condensation issues that can cause down time. Consult
the factory for information on these options. In general, the specifics of
each sample stream must be considered when planning the installation to
determine if any of these devices are needed.
