The Delta F sensor’s normal insensitivity to flow rate changes is the basis for the low flow sample system leak detection method described in Section 5.3.4 and 8.2.1.

    5.2 Gas Sample Compatibility There are a wide range of considerations in determining the gas sample compatibility of the Oxygen Analyzer. Delta F tries hard to identify all pertinent application details prior to quoting and order processing. All non-typical applications concerning gas sample compatibility are reviewed by our in-house Application Engineers.

  • Page 63: Condensation / Liquid Slugs

    Without access to our broad base of Analyzer experience, it would be difficult even for a customer knowledgeable in chemistry to make an accurate prediction on gas sample compatibility. It is for this reason that we would strongly advise referring to Delta F to make recommendations on gas sample compatibility.

    DELTA F CORPORATION Platinum Series Process Oxygen Analyzer Instruction Manual 6.6.3.1 ZERO REF The ZERO REF value is a numerical indicator for calibration changes made in the field. All instruments are shipped from the factory with a ZERO REF value of 0.00. The number will become negative, following a user zero calibration, if the sensor zero is below the factory calibration and vice versa.
  • Page 109 DELTA F CORPORATION Platinum Series Process Oxygen Analyzer Instruction Manual Note: The zero baseline stabilization criteria is only verifying stability over a short time scale (1-5 minutes). The output on zero gas should be recorded (by manual or strip chart technique) and stability should be monitored over a much larger time scale (18 to 24 hours for 0-1000 ppm and lower range High Resolution Analyzers).

    Theory Of Operation 7.1 The Sensor The sensor in the Platinum Series Process Oxygen Analyzer operates on a simple non- depleting coulometric principle in which oxygen in the sample gas is reduced by an electrochemical reaction. The use of this technique is widely recognized for its ability to...
  • Page 115 DELTA F CORPORATION Platinum Series Process Oxygen Analyzer Instruction Manual The STAB-EL electrolyte system consists of special measuring electrodes, sensor construction, and a second pair of electrodes placed within the oxygen sensor as shown in Figure 7-1. A current flows between the secondary anode in the electrolyte reservoir and the secondary cathode in the sensor cavity.

    The gas scale factor corrects for the diffusion rate of oxygen which varies with the composition of the background gas being analyzed. Delta F uses a Bi-Strata™ Gas Diffusion Barrier in the oxygen sensor. This barrier consists of a thick plate containing a specific number of holes.

    In such a case, it would be appropriate to use an analyzer of the next highest range (e.g. 0-500 ppm). Consult Delta F for application specific details.

    ±10% of the flow rate used for recalibration. The Delta F sensor’s insensitivity to flow rate changes is the basis for the low flow sample system leak detection method described in Section 5.3.4 and 8.2.1. The sensor output should be virtually constant for readings between 0.5 and 4.0 scfh.

  • Page 119: Temperature Effects On Sensor Performance

    DELTA F CORPORATION Platinum Series Process Oxygen Analyzer Instruction Manual For Analyzers with a pump, an outlet (vent) pressure greater than 3 psig will influence the sensor pressure, causing changes to the flow rate and output. 7.6 Temperature Effects On Sensor Performance The electrical current output of the oxygen sensor operating on a constant sample concentration will change slightly with sensor temperature.

Upper trace sensors (0-5,000 and 0-10,000 ppm ranges) may require water addition every 6-9 months of continuous use. Percent level sensors may require water addition at 9-18 month intervals.

  • Page 125: Replacing The Filter

    For Analyzers in clean gas applications, if a filter is present, the filter should be inspected on a yearly basis. For other applications Delta F suggests that the filter be inspected on a weekly basis until the operator gains an understanding about the effect of the sample gas on the filter.
