Introduction Introduction 1.1 Overview The Model 2750 Turbine Generator Gas analyzer is a portable microcontroller based three-channel analyzer designed to measure the concentration of a single gas component in a binary mixture of gases. A special thermal conductivity cell responds to the difference in thermal conductivity between the components of a gas mixture and produces a signal output which is linearized over the specific range of interest.
1.3 Enclosure The Model 2750 is a portable instrument housed in a rugged impact resistant NEMA 4X polyethylene enclosure which can easily be set up at the point of analysis and field-calibrated. The top of the case opens to reveal the operator interface panel.
2-pin connector located on the side of the unit. This signal is linear across the selected range and can be used to trigger alarms, record output or remote logging and data display. Figure 1-2: Gas Connections Figure 1-3: Electrical Connections Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
Introduction Model 2750 1.5 Operator Interface The front panel contains the operator interface and is readily accessible after opening the enclosure. It is simple, consisting of an OFF/ON switch and two rotary switches—one for selecting between analysis or calibration modes and the other for selecting the particular analysis range to be employed during measurement.
Turbine Generator Gas Analyzer Theory of Operation Theory of Operation The heart of the Model 2750 Turbine Generator Gas Analyzer is the compact thermal conductivity cell. It senses differences in thermal conductivity of the gas mixture and generates an output signal based on the thermal characteristics of the gas.

Turbine Generator Gas Analyzer Theory of Operation 2.2 Electronics The Model 2750 uses a sophisticated miniature solid-state thermal conductivity sensor. This cell uses internal temperature compensation circuitry. It has both a reference and a measurement leg. The reference leg is driven by a constant current source and is used to heat the sensor’s substrate and to thermally compensate for ambient fluctuations.

Theory of Operation Model 2750 width modulated (PWM) signal that is proportional to the gas concentration on that specific range. The PWM signal is passed through a low pass filter and is used to drive the display and the 0-1 VDC output signal (0.8 – 1VDC for the /Air range).
Turbine Generator Gas Analyzer Installation Installation The Model 2750 is a portable unit and can easily be setup close to the analysis site. To ensure accuracy, however, the analyzer should be setup in such a manner as to avoid: Direct sunlight ...
Installation Model 2750 shielded cable (nominally No. 22 wire size) between the analyzer output connector and the recording equipment. See Figure 3-1. Note: The signal output connector must be removed before closing the analyzer cover. Figure 3-1: Electrical Connections 3.2 Gas Connections Inlet gas connections are made at the gas control valve mounted on the upper panel.
3.2.2 Pressure Regulation All incoming gas lines from a high-pressure source should be equipped with pressure regulators. Pressure regulators should be installed as close to the sample take off point as possible to minimize sample line lag time. Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
CAUTION: HIGH FLOW RATES CAN DAMAGE THE SENSOR. 3.3 Calibration The Model 2750 has been calibrated at the factory but will require periodic recalibration (zero and span). The calibration gases used to calibrate the instrument are: Zero:...

Installation Model 2750 Figure 3-4: Interface Panel Showing Calibration Switch Position 7. Use the air/CO zero trim pot to adjust the display to zero. See Figure 3-4 above. 8. Move the calibration switch to the H2/CO2 position and verify that the range selector switch is on H2/CO2. Use the H2/CO2 zero trim pot to adjust the display to zero.
H2/air. See Figure 3-6 Figure 3-6: Cal Switch in H2/AIR Position 12. Use the H /air zero trim pot to zero that range by adjusting the pot until the display reads zero. See Figure 3-7 Figure 3-7: H2/AIR Zero Trimpot Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
Please note that the 80-100% H in Air range is actually a 0-20% H Air range with the 2750 doing the simple calculation to report the reading as hydrogen purity. Thus the zero adjustment uses 100% air. The zero calibration is now complete, continue with a span calibration.
Set the flow between .5-1 SCFH. 8. Make sure the calibration switch is in the position then ANALYZE set the range switch to the H2/CO2 position. See Figure 3-10 Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
Installation Model 2750 Figure 3-10: Range Switch in H2/CO2 Position 9. Use the H span trim pot to adjust the display to 100% ±0.1%. See Figure 3-11 Figure 3-11: H2/CO2 Span Trimpot 10. Select The H2/Air range with the range selector switch. See...
Please note that while the operating range of the analyzer is 80-100% H2 in Air, the electronics of the 2750 have been configured to allow for the use of 100% H2 span gas to calibrate this range to reduce the number of calibration gases that are required.

Attaching output cable Turning the instrument on and allowing it to warm up Prior to using the Model 2750, it must be calibrated on all three ranges. Refer to Section 3.3 for calibration procedures. Once the instrument is calibrated, it may be transported to the analysis site.
Setup and Operation Model 2750 Figure 4-1: Power and Output Connections to the Model 2750 The thermal conductivity sensor relies on a precise heat load to produce an accurate thermally compensated output signal. The sensor must be allowed to heat up and equilibrate before using the instrument for analysis.

If any part of the instrument malfunctions or fails to perform, the unit should be removed from service and returned for repair and calibration. The 2750 contains no user-serviceable parts. 5.1.1 Instrument Cleaning Use a damp cloth to wipe the instrument clean.
Maintenance Model 2750 If a leak detector is available, the model can be leak checked with the power off. Use helium and pressurize the lines to 1-5 psig and sniff all fittings and lines. If a leak detector is not available, admit air at 1-5 psig through the instrument lines.
