Chapter 1 Introduction The Thermo Scientific™ 450iQ Hydrogen Sulfide and Sulfur Dioxide Analyzer utilizes pulsed fluorescence technology. The 450iQ analyzer operates on the principle that H S can be converted to . As the SO molecules absorb ultraviolet (UV) light and become excited at one wavelength, the molecules then decay to a lower energy state emitting UV light at a different wavelength.

Specifically, S → SO +hv1 → SO * → SO The sample is drawn into the 450iQ through the SAMPLE bulkhead, as shown in Figure 1–2. From the bulkhead the sample is either shunted to a converter or bypasses the converter and is led straight through to a hydrocarbon kicker.

Chapter 4 Calibration The 450iQ requires initial and periodic calibration according to the procedures described in this chapter. A quality control plan that allows the frequency and number of calibration points to be modified depending on calibration and zero/span check data should be implemented. Such a quality control program is essential to ascertain the accuracy and reliability of the air quality data collected.

H S in air is precisely diluted Systems to the concentration range required. The Thermo Scientific 146iQ Multigas Calibrator is one such system for precision dilution. Permeation Tube Permeation tube systems which precisely maintain a set temperature to within ±0.1 °C and hold a zero air flow rate to within ±0.5% can be used System for generation of span gas.
K (H S) = 0.717 constant for H S permeant Commercial Commercial permeation systems, such as the Thermo Scientific 146iQ Multigas Calibrator, are available for this requirement. Refer to the Permeation Systems instrument instruction manual for more information. An internal permeation span source option is also available for this instrument.

It consists of an insulated housing heater wrap, and a K-type thermocouple sensor. Permeation Oven The 450iQ can be configured with an optional permeation oven for generating SO span gas. The permeation oven is configured as a DMC (Optional) module with self-contained temperature measurements and heater controls.
All electronics operate from a universal VDC supply, which is capable of auto-sensing the input voltage and working over all specified operating ranges. The 450iQ contains a 24 VDC channel for most electronics operation, including the pump and fan, and a 48 VDC channel dedicated specifically for optical bench heating.
Firmware Like the hardware, the firmware is modular and located within microprocessors distributed throughout the instrument. In the 450iQ, microprocessors containing firmware are located as follows: Optical Bench DMC Flow/Pressure DMC...
