Rugged Zirconia analyzer for ppm or % Oxygen measurements in combustion & inert gas.

The 8870 is an extractive Zirconia Oxygen analyzer that is typically employed for O2 trace measurements in pure gases (typical in technical gas production industry) or in heavy duty applications thanks to an extremely rugged sensor.

Main Features

 

Extreme Roughness

  • No inner moving parts
  • Installation position and vibration don’t alter the accuracy and stability of the measure
  • Insensitive to ambient temperature variations

 

High Performances

  • Inner reference air that eliminates the effect pf barometric pressure variations
  • Extremely fast response time
  • Excellent long term stability
  • Available as 4-20 mA transmitter or combined with a powerful microprocessor-based control unit

 

Easy Maintenance

  • Modular construction
  • Fast access to the inner PCB just unscrewing the AISI cover

 

European Compliance

  • Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU
  • EMC Directive 2014/30/EU

Sampling System

The 8870 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 8864 analyzer combined with a sample and condition system designed for the specific application requirements. Contact us for details

Measuring Principle

The measuring principle on which the analysis is based is linked to the use of Zirconium oxide which, at high temperatures, can behave like a solid state electrolyte, developing an electromotive force on two electrodes placed in contact with different O2 concentrations (partial pressures), proportional to the temperature in Kelvin degrees (°K) and the logarithm of the ratio between the two pressures PO2’ and PO2” in accordance with Nernst’s well-know ratio:

 

E = RT / nF (Lg P02’ / P02“)

 

Where:           R = Perfect gas constant (8,31 Joule/degree bulk)

F = Faraday’s constant

T = Absolute temperature in °Kelvin

n = 4
