Sampling System
The 8869 needs an external sampling system able to deliver an almost clean sample gas to the analyzer at the proper temperature, pressure and flow rate.
ADEV has a wide experience in process and can provide the 8863 analyzer combined with a sample and condition system designed for the specific application requirements. Contact usfor details.
Measuring Principle
The heart of the model 8869 Infrared Analyzer is the cell assembly, which consists of:
- 2 helical-wound Nichrome wires which provide the I.R. source
- 1 temperature-controlled sample cell in which the sample circulates
- 1 detector assembly with: one measuring detector with an interference filter focused on the selected IR absorption band for the gas to be analyzed; and one reference detector with an interference filter with a band able to compensate ageing effects, dirty built-up on the optical path and background gas variations.
A very particular innovative technique allows a perfect system balance that eliminates drifts and the automatic restore of the sensitivity by controlling the energy that reaches the detector.
This design can be expanded up to 3 gas variables.
