    Contact Closure Signals The 3050-AMS Analyzer provides the following contact closure signals. System Alarms Activates (contact opens) when a condition exists that makes analyzer output questionable. Such conditions include: Cell Temperature alarm Zero error Battery alarm Moisture Concentration Alarm Activates (contact opens) when a moisture concentration exceeds the pro- grammed alarm levels.

  • Page 18: Moisture Sensor

    Moisture Sensor Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) The 3050-AMS Analyzer uses a QCM Sensor to measure water vapor concentra- tion. This is a piezoelectric device that is capable of extremely sensitive mass measurement. To make the QCM sensitive to water vapor the surface is coated with a thin film of hygroscopic material.

  • Page 19: Gas Flow

    Gas Flow Sample System The 3050-AMS Moisture Analyzer sample system enables the analyzer to make reliable water vapor measurements at concentrations down to 0.035 PPMV. The sample system serves several purposes: • It controls the sample conditions at the Sensor assembly (e.g., flow rate, temperature, pressure).

  • Page 20: Sample Flow

    Sample Flow In the normal operation of the 3050-AMS Analyzer, the Zero module (the sec- tion enclosed in the dotted line in Figure 1-2) is turned off so that the Sample gas enters the analyzer and passes through diaphragm valve 2 (DV2). After exiting DV2, the flow splits into two (2) paths: the Sample gas path and the Reference gas path.

  • Page 21: Zero Gas Module

    Zero Gas Module The Zero gas module, shown inside of the dotted rectangle in Figure 1-2, is used to provide a dry gas stream at the inlet of the analyzer. Functionally, the Zero gas module is a very simple device, consisting of only three (3) diaphragm valves and a dryer.

  • Page 22: Zeroing The Analyzer

    Dew point values are calculated from the moisture concentration measure- ments (PPMV) and the sample or process pressure. For temperatures below 0 °C, the 3050-AMS uses equations to determine the water vapor pressure over ice, rather than over super-cooled water. Thus, the 3050-AMS reports a frost- point temperature consistent with the physical form of the condensed phase in a real process stream.
