2 Description 2.1 General The Process Gas Chromatograph, Total Fuel Sulfur PGC5007 (Fuel Sulfur Analyzer), performs total sulfur measurements for various hydrocarbon blends. It operates the same as the standard Process Gas Chromatograph PGC5000 described in Operations Guide 9AKK104295F4814 and Technical Service Guide 9AKK104295D4816. It differs from the PGC5000 in having a furnace contained within the isothermal Smart Oven™...
Using air as the carrier, the furnace oxidizes the sample into carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and water, and passes them through the column to the detector for measurement of the total sulfur, as sulfur dioxide (SO 6 OI/PGC5007-EN, Rev C...
Analytical valves are controlled using the valve button under the Setup Tab (see Figure 3.1). Refer to the Data Package for flow rates and pressures applicable to your analyzer. Fig. 3.1.

11. Remove the 40 M3 hex socket screws that hold the furnace housing cover (see Figure 5.3). The cover temperature must be below 40° C before you remove the screws. Fig. 5.3. Furnace Housing 24 OI/PGC5007-EN, Rev C...
Wrench Here Fig. 5.5. Left-Side Carrier Connections If this is the vapor version of the PGC5007, the right-side carrier line is a mirror image of the left-side carrier line. Remove the right-side carrier line as follows: Use the ABB Tee Wrench to hold the elbow.
If this is the liquid version, remove the right-side carrier line as follows (see Figure 5.6): Use the ABB Tee Wrench to hold the nut as shown in Figure 5.5. Using a 9/16-inch wrench, disconnect the line just outside the furnace on the quartz tube.
Position the furnace so that the furnace tube is centered in the furnace end cap. Tighten the screws holding the furnace. On the right-side carrier line: Use the ABB Tee Wrench to hold the elbow in place. Tighten the 1/4-inch fitting. Tighten the 5/16-inch fitting.
Assemble the tube nut, graphite ferrule and new thermocouple. Insert the new thermocouple assembly into the furnace until the tip touches the furnace tube. Tighten the tube nut slightly but still allowing the thermocouple to be moved. 28 OI/PGC5007-EN, Rev C...
5.9 Installing the furnace cover Verify that the internal heat shield is in place. Apply low-sodium lubricant ABB P/N 3617948-1 to all 40 cover bolts. Place the cover onto the housing. Install the 40 cover bolts and torque all cover bolts to 16 in-lbs.
