Important precautions
Use dry, oil-free instrument air only
Caution: This instrument will be damaged if used with in-
strument air that is not completely dry and oilfree. Ensure instrument air has −40 °C dew point
and has been filtered to remove all oil and particulates.
Safety notice
This instrument operates from potentially lethal line voltage. In addition,
some internal components operate at high temperature and can cause serious burns. Observe all precautions when using this device, and particularly
be sure that all devices connected to the instrument are safely wired and
properly grounded. Always disconnect power to the instrument before
opening the enclosure or servicing.
Caution: The analyzer should not be operated without the
cover in place and the cooling fan fully operational.
The exterior surface of the converter furnace and
tubes will rise to nearly 80 °C if operated without
the cover in place. Serious burns can result if the
proper precautions are not taken.

•Touch-screen interface: All diagnostics and controls are accessible
through an advanced, full-color 5” touch screen interface.
•One-touch calibration: Once target gas values (e.g. bottle concentra-

and hence the analyzer calibrated, at the touch of the screen.
•Trend-screen: Gas concentrations are plotted in a chart-recorder style
trend with user settable scales for in-depth data analysis at a glance.
•Diagnostics and alarms: Critical component temperatures and gas flows
are measured within the analyzer and reported on the diagnostic screen.
Target values and alarmable deviations are user-settable. These alarms
are displayed on the home screen, as well as warning messages for internal communication errors or if the converter or ozonator has been disabled.

Overview
The Model CL3020 CLD NOx analyzer is designed specifically for use in low-
CEMS applications. NOx and NO (if dual-channel) are measured using
NO

chemiluminescence and a molybdenum-based NO
converter for total NOx.

The Model CL3020 meets or exceeds 40CFR60 and 40CFR75 demands for
relative accuracy, linearity, and calibration drift in low and ultra-low NO
x
gas-fired turbine applications.
Caution: The CL3020 is designed to analyze a clean, dry
sample, as is typical of a conventional extractive
CEMS. The sample dew point should be less than 5
C, and without any appreciable particulates or
other condensable or reactive gases. As with all
NOx analyzers, care should be taken in SCR applications to scrub any residual ammonia from the
sample to avoid contamination of internal components.
Measurement configurations

Theory of operation
The Model CL3020 CLD NOx analyzer uses chemiluminescence as the fundamental detection mechanism for NO

these mechanisms and their implementation in the analyzer are given below.
Chemiluminescence measurement of NOx
Chemiluminescence is defined as a chemical reaction that gives off light. Nitric oxide (NO) emits infrared light when it reacts with ozone (O
. By introducing a sample containing NO into a reaction cell and mixing
NO

it with ozone, one can measure the amount of light emitted by the ensuing
reaction and can infer the amount of nitric oxide present in the original
sample.
It is important to note that only NO is the only species directly measured.

Zirconium oxide measurement of O2
The oxygen measurement makes use of the fact that zirconium oxide conducts oxygen ions when heated above approximately 600 °C. Platinum electrodes on the interior and exterior of a zirconium oxide tube provide a catalytic surface for the exchange of oxygen molecules and oxygen ions. As molecules encounter the platinum electrodes, they become ionized and are
transported through the body of the zirconium oxide. This charge transport
ultimately establishes an electric potential across the electrodes that is proportional to the log of the ratio of oxygen concentrations on each side of
the oxide (The Nernst Equation). Thus, if a reference gas (usually instrument

ple gas flowing across the outer electrode can be determined. In a conventional zirconium-oxide oxygen analyzer, this voltage is exponentiated to determine the concentration.
In the Model CL3020, a second zirconium-oxide cell is ganged together to
pump oxygen into the first cell, which is maintained at a constant voltage.
The amount of oxygen needed to maintain the primary cell at the operating
point is a more sensitive measurement of sample concentration, and allows
for measurement at zero oxygen. This pump signal is carefully measured
and related back to the sample concentration.

Pneumatic design
Although the chemiluminescence technique is extraordinarily sensitive, specific to NO
pressures, flows, cell geometry, etc. that must be carefully engineered to
produce a properly functioning analyzer. The pneumatic design of the Model
CL3020 is shown in figure 1; the flow scheme is substantially different than
other gas analyzers. To properly operate and service the analyzer, it is important that the flow scheme be well-understood.
Starting on the upper left side of the diagram, instrument air is drawn into
the analyzer from a manifold vented to atmospheric pressure. Excess air
flow should be available at this manifold to ensure integrity of instrument
air to the analyzer. It is important that the air be free of oil and particulates.
Ozone for the chemiluminescence reaction is produced in the ozonator, and
is drawn into the cell where it mixes with the sample stream as described
earlier. A flow-control orifice is embedded in the fitting on the ozone inlet(s)
of the reaction cell(s), and the instrument vacuum pulls the proper flow
through the ozonator.
Two sample channels, if so equipped, may be present on the analyzer. Excess sample flow should be available to each to ensure good sample integrity to the analyzer. A sample pump configured to deliver 1 SLPM under
slight positive pressure to a 1/4" Swagelok
with a vent tube at least three feet long on each branch is an ideal connection.
, and inherently linear, there are many subtle effects involving

For the total NO

furnace temperature is displayed on the front panel of the analyzer. Next,
this sample flows though the oxygen sensor (if so equipped), and then
through the sample flow meter. This flow rate should approximately
70 SCCM. The sample then flows on to the reaction cell where it mixes with
the ozone stream and the NO
measurement is performed. The reaction cell
x
is kept at 40 °C.
The exhaust port of the reaction cell contains a critical flow orifice, which
when backed by a sufficiently strong vacuum, controls the
total flow
drawn
through the analyzer. Exhaust from the cell is routed through the high temperature furnace to destroy all the ozone in the exhaust stream to preserve
the integrity of downstream components. Unlike carbon filters or other de-
CL3020 OPERATING INSTRUCTION | OI/CL3020-EN REV. A

signs, this ozone destruction technique is very safe and effective. No measurable ozone is left in the exhaust. The analyzer is normally configured for an
external pump to provide critical vacuum to pull the exhaust from the reaction cell. The flow through the analyzer is independent of this vacuum, provided it is low enough to meet the conditions for critical flow. The pressure
on the downstream side of the critical flow orifice (measured under conditions of full analyzer flow) should be no more than 30% of atmospheric
pressure.
If equipped, a second sample channel is present which does not flow
through the converter, therefore measuring only NO. The difference between these two channels represents the NO
sample, or any such other speciation (e.g. NH
concentration in the original
