Page 48
USER'S GUIDE____________________________________________________________________ Follow the steps below to install the DMT348 probe through a ball valve assembly. After the installation, the probe should be sitting in the process chamber or pipeline as shown in Figure 30 on page 47. Shut down the process if the process pressure is more than 10 bars. If the pressure is lower there is no need to shut down the process.
Chapter 3 _______________________________________________________________ Installation Leak Screw Installation When the probe cannot be installed directly in the pressurized process or process pipe, a leak screw installation can be used. In this installation method, you must install the DMT348 probe using a fitting body with leak screw, see Figure 27 on page 44.
USER'S GUIDE____________________________________________________________________ Mounting the Probe Directly to the Process Select a point, which gives a true picture of the process. The transmitter can be installed directly in the process wall, especially if the pressure of the process is 1 bar (atmospheric processes). It may be necessary to use the sampling cell if the process (for example a pipe) is too small for the DMT348 probe.
Chapter 3 _______________________________________________________________ Installation If the probe is installed in a pressurized chamber, always make sure that the pressure of the chamber is equalized with the ambient pressure prior to removing the probe. When the probe is pulled out for maintenance, cap the hole with a capped nut.
USER'S GUIDE____________________________________________________________________ Sampling Cell for DMT348 It may be necessary to use a sampling cell if the process (for example a pipe) is too small for the DMT348 probe. Furthermore, if the process is very hot (>80 °C) or particularly dirty, the probe is installed in a sampling cell behind a cooling coil and/or filter.
Chapter 3 _______________________________________________________________ Installation An overpressure in the process is necessary to create a flow through the sampling cell. Note that the pressure of the sampling cell must not differ from that of the process because dewpoint temperature changes with pressure.
