4.0 DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT

4.1 Working principle

The gas sample is taken in through the gas probe, by a diaphragm suction pump inside the instrument. The measuring probe has a sliding cone that allows the probe to be inserted in holes with a diameter of 11 mm to 16 mm and to adjust the immersion depth: it is recommended to have a gas sampling point roughly in the

center of the flue/stack.

The gas sample is cleaned of humidity and impurities by a condensate trap and filter located inside the instrument. The gas is then analyzed in its components by electrochemical. The electrochemical cell guarantees high precision results in a time interval of up to about 60 minutes during which the instrument can be considered very stable. When measurement is going to take a long time, we suggest auto-zeroing the instrument again and flushing the inside of the pneumatic circuit with clean air. During the zero calibrating phase, the instrument aspirates clean air from the environment and detects the cells’ drifts from zero (20.95% for the O2 cell), then compares them with the programmed values and compensates them.

4.2 Measurement cells

The instrument takes advantage of pre-calibrated gas sensors for the measurement of Oxygen (O2), Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Nitric Oxide (NO) if available. The sensors do not need particular maintenance yet they have to be replaced periodically when exhausted. If sensors of toxic gases are submitted to concentrations higher than 50% of their measurement range for more than 10 minutes continuously, they can show up to ±2% drift as well as a longer time to return to zero. In this case, before turning off the analyzer, it is advisable to wait for the measured value be lower than 20ppm by in taking clean air. Anyway, the instrument is intended to have a cleaning cycle of the pneumatic circuit, which duration depends on what has been set in the menu Configuration→Analysis→Autozero. Exhausted cells can be easily replaced by the user without depriving himself of the instrument and without complicated calibration procedures with certified mixtures as they are pre-calibrated before being supplied. E instruments certifies the accuracy of the measurements only upon a calibration certificate issued by its laboratory or other approved laboratory.

4.3 Fuel types

The device is provided with the technical data of the most common types of fuels stored in its memory. For more details see Annex D.

4.4 Sample treatment

The gas sample to be analyzed must be delivered to the measuring sensors properly dried and cleaned of solid residues of combustion; actually for this reason it is usually named ‘dry analysis’. For this purpose, on the gas suction line, is mounted an anti-condensation trap with dust filter.

4.5 Pressure sensor, piezoelectric, temperature compensated

The instrument is internally provided with a piezoresistive differential pressure sensor which can be used for measuring the draft (vacuum) in the stack for differential pressure measurement and possibly for other measurements (pressure of gas in the piping, pressure loss across a filter, etc.). The measurement range is -10.000 Pa .. +20.000 Pa. Any potential drift of the sensor are nulled thanks to the autozeroing system.

WARNING ANY PRESSURE APPLIED TO THE SENSOR GREATER THAN ±

SENSOR ITSELF.

4.6 Suction pump

This diaphragm pump, located inside the instrument, is operated with a DC engine powered by the instrument in order to obtain the optimal suction flow rate of the flue gas for the ongoing analysis.

4.7 Draft measurement with sensor automatic autozero

E500 performs the draft measurement.

The sensor Autozero allows to make the zeroing of the sensor and must be done with the gas probe NOT

inserted in the stack.

4.8 Bluetooth® connection (if the version of the instrument foresees it)

The E500 analyzer is internally equipped with a Bluetooth® module, which allows the communication with a remote Bluetooth The maximum transmission range in open field is 100 meters (Class 1 Bluetooth communication companion is equipped with a Class1 Bluetooth This solution allows great freedom of movement for the operator who is no longer bound directly to the instrument for acquisition and analysis, with significant advantages for many applications.

BEFORE PERFORMING THE COMBUSTION ANALYSIS, SET THE NECESSARY PARAMETERS (SEE CHAPTER 9.4.1

8.1.3 Inserting the probe inside the stack

When the autozero is over, insert in the stack the gas sample probe, previously connected to the instrument. In order for the probe to be inserted at the right point within the stack, its distance from the boiler has to be twice the diameter of the stack pipe itself or, if this is not possible, must comply with the boiler manufacturer’s instructions. In order to position the probe correctly drill a 13/16 mm hole in the manifold (unless already present), and screwing in the positioning cone provided with the probe - in this way no air is drawn from the outside during sampling. The screw on the cone allows the probe to be stopped at the right measuring depth - this usually corresponds to the center of the flue pipe. For greater positioning accuracy, the user may insert the probe gradually into the pipe until the highest temperature is read. The exhaust pipe must be inspected before carrying out the test, so as to ensure that no constrictions or losses are present in the piping or stack.

8.1.5 End of the Analysis

At the end of the combustion analysis, carefully remove the sample probe and remote air temperature probe, if used, from their relative ducts, taking care not to get burnt.

Switch off the instrument. Then, proceed to turn off the instrument. The instrument execute a cleaning cycle, according to what’s set in the menu

“Configuration→Analysis→Autozero→Purging”, during which the pump sucks clean air until reducing the

concentration of CO. The instrument automatically turns off within max. 10 minutes.

Note: It is always advisable to purge the instrument with clean air for at least 5 - 10 minutes before turning it

off.

Gas sampling probe cleaning

When you finish using the sample probe clean it thoroughly as described below before returning it to its case:

- Disconnect the sample probe from the instrument and from the water trap (Fig. a-b) then blow a jet of clean air into the hose of the probe (refer to Fig. b) to remove any residual condensate that may have formed within.

10.3 Gas sensors life

The gas sensors used in this instrument are electrochemical: thus, when the relative gas is detected, a chemical reaction takes place inside them that generates an electrical current. The electrical current acquired by the instrument is then converted into the corresponding gas concentration. Sensor life is strongly related to the consumption of the reagents within. Sensor characteristics diminish as the reagents are consumed and when these have been used up completely the sensor must be replaced. The sensors must be recalibrated on a regular basis to assure measuring accuracy: recalibration can only be performed by a qualified E INSTRUMENTS service centre. Table 10.4 illustrates the characteristics inherent to each sensor.

MAINTENANCE

11.1 Routine maintenance

This instrument was designed and manufactured using top-quality components. Proper and systematic maintenance will prevent the onset of malfunctions and will increase instrument life altogether. The following basic requisites are to be respected:

•

When the analysis is over extract the sample probe from the stack and let the analyzer draw fresh air for a

few minutes, or at least until the displayed parameters return to their original values: O2: >20.0% Toxic gases: <20ppm

•

Clean the filter unit when necessary, replacing the particulate filter and applying a jet of air to the sample

probe hose to eliminate any condensate that may have formed.

Do not clean the instrument with abrasive cleaners, thinners or other similar detergents.

11.2 Preventive maintenance

At least once a year send the instrument to a SERVICE CENTER for a complete overhaul and thorough internal

cleaning. E INSTRUMENTS’ highly qualified staff is always at your disposal and will provide you with all the sales, technical, application and maintenance details required. The service center will always return the instrument to you as new and in the shortest time possible. Calibration is performed using gases and instruments comparable with National and International Specimens. Annual servicing is accompanied by a specific calibration certificate that is a guarantee of perfect instrument performance.

11.3 Replacing the gas sensors

The gas sensors of the instrument shall be periodically replaced with new or recalibrated sensors. The user can easily perform this replacement operation according to the following instructions:

Before proceeding with the replacement of the sensor, it is necessary to insert in the instrument the ID code of the new sensor, after installing the appropriate PC software downloadable from the website www.e-inst.com.

Once inserted the new ID code in the instrument, unscrew the four fixing screws of the instrument base; then slide the base of the instrument to access the internal parts.

Locate the position of the sensor to be replaced; below is an example of a sensor to be replaced.

Remove the tubes from the sensor to be replaced; below is an example of a sensor with the disconnected pipes.

After disconnecting the pipes, pull the sensor upwards; below is an example of the sensor compartment without the sensor.

O2 Sensor

Cod. AACSE55

CO Sensor with NOx filter

Insert the new sensor paying attention to match the sensor connectors with the relevant supports on the circuit board.

Place back the tubes (See point 4).

Close back the base of the instrument and screw back the four screws (See point 2).

Turn on the instrument to check the new sensor works correctly through the menu "Sensor Troubleshooting". It is normal if a newly installed sensor gives a 'current error': it is necessary to wait some time, so that the sensor polarization can settle. The table here below shows the minimum settling time for each sensor.
