Bacharach Flue-Gas Sample Conditioning System Instruction

Introduction
The Bacharach Flue-Gas Sample Conditioning System consists of the
following components:
• Probe with Peltier Cooler
• Condensate Pump with Water Trap
• Power Supply
The function of this system is to remove water vapor from the fl ue-gas
sample, thus preventing the formation of water droplets inside the
probe hose. If water droplets were to form inside the hose, a por tion of
the gas sample could be ab sorbed by the water, thus resulting in lower-
than-actual read ings of NO
Water vapor is removed from the fl ue-gas sample by passing the sam ple
through a Peltier Cooler where the sample is chilled, which in turn,
causes the water vapor contained in the gas sam ple to be removed from
the sample.
The water that was extracted from the gas sample is then pumped out
of the Peltier Cooler and into a water trap.
The now dry, conditioned fl ue-gas sample is then sent to its as so ci at ed
com bus tion test equipment for analysis.
