1 Safety requirements

1.1 Rosemount Model 500 Gas Chromatograph safety warnings

Observe these safety messages for the Rosemount Model 500 Gas Chromatograph.
WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to de-energize the analyzer may cause serious injury or death to personnel.
Do not open when energized or when an explosive atmosphere may be present. Keep cover tight while circuits are live.
WARNING
EXPLOSION/FIRE HAZARD
Failure to observe this warning may cause serious injury or death to personnel.
Do not open when an explosive atmosphere may be present. Do not open while energized. Use supply cables or wires suitable for at least 176 °F (80 °C).
CAUTION
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
If the GC oven is heated without carrier flow, damage to the columns may occur.
WARNING
Physical access
Unauthorized personnel may potentially cause significant damage to and/or misconfiguration of end users’ equipment. This could be intentional or unintentional and needs to be protected against.
Physical security is an important part of any security program and fundamental to protecting your system. Restrict physical access by unauthorized personnel to protect end users’ assets. This is true for all systems used within the facility.
NOTICE
Prior to converting carrier gas to hydrogen, it is recommended to review local hazardous area requirements to ensure compliance

2.1 Installing the Rosemount Model 500 helium to hydrogen gas conversion kit

These are the instructions to install the hardware for the helium to hydrogen gas conversion kit for the Rosemount Model 500 Gas Chromatograph.
The installation kit (P/N 2-3-0500-186) contains the hardware necessary to convert helium to hydrogen gas for the GC.
WARNING
Before converting carrier gas to hydrogen, review local hazardous area requirements to ensure compliance.
The procedure to convert the Rosemount Model 500 Gas Chromatograph from helium to hydrogen gas includes:
Changing the thermistors (P/N 3-0500-521)
Adding a carrier shut-off valve (P/N 2-4-4000-190)
Changing the Masoneilan carrier pressure regulator (60-110 psig) (P/N 2-4-9500-084)
to a Parker (10-100 psig) (P/N 2-4-5001-977)
Installing the new 10-ft. (3 m) long restrictor (R2)
Purging the carrier gas
Adjusting the carrier pressure (MON2000 2-3-9000-522)
The contents of the kit are listed in Table 3-1 and are illustrated in Figure 3-1.

2.2 Installing the carrier shut-off valve and pressure regulator

This procedure describes installing the carrier shut-off valve as well as installing and changing the pressure regulator.
Refer to Parts list to perform this task.
Procedure
1. Shut off the carrier and actuation gas supply.
2. Wait until the carrier gas pressure gauge reads zero psi.
3. Disconnect the carrier gas tubing from the tee fitting that is connected to the carrier gas supply.
WARNING
Do not use hydrogen for valve actuation.

Installation
Note
The tee fitting positioning may vary, but is often found at the inlet of the carrier gas regulator and is commonly accompanied with a reducer to take the tubing size down to -in.
4. Choose a position to mount the carrier shut off valve on the back frame rail. This position should be between the carrier gas inlet fitting and the carrier gas
regulator.
5. Connect a ¼-in. tubing from the tee to the input port of the SSO valve.
6. Connect the output port of the SSO valve to a ¼-in. piece of stainless steel tubing to the input port of the new Parker pressure regulator, 10-100 psig (P/N 2-4-5001-977).
7. Use a -in. national pipe thread (NPT) to -in. Swagelok fitting to connect the actuation gas line located at the top port of the SSO valve.
8. Connect a piece of -in. tubing from the actuation port of the SSO valve to the ­in. bulkhead fitting.
This is the actuation gas input port.
9. Connect the actuation line (N2) to the -in. input port.

10. Ensure that all tube fittings are properly connected. Then label the new actuation gas inlet and reconnect gases to their appropriate entries.

2.3 Installing the new 10-ft. (3 m) long reference detector restrictor (R2)

Procedure
1. Remove the GC top cover.
2. Remove the upper enclosure insulation cover.
3. Disconnect restrictor (R2), which connects the reference carrier gas to the reference detector.
4. Install the new 10-ft. (3 m) long restrictor. See Figure 2-3 for reference.

2.4 Purging the carrier gas lines

Use this procedure to purge the gas chromatograph's gas lines.
Refer to Figure 2-4.
Procedure
1. Close all valves and tighten all fittings.
2. Run tubing to the GC, but do not connect.
3. Back off pressure regulator (turn counterclockwise) fully.
Refer to Figure 2-4 to complete Step 4 through Step 12.
Figure 2-4: Carrier Gas Valve Configuration
4. Open cylinder valve for Carrier Cylinder 1. The pressure indicator will read the cylinder pressure.
5. Open the shut-off valve attached to the carrier regulator.
6. Regulate pressure out of the cylinder to 20 psig; then close the cylinder valve.
7. Open V-1 (bleed valve) and let the carrier gas bleed to atmosphere until both gauges read 0 psig and then close V-1.
8. Repeat Step 4 and Step 5 twice to purge the line to V-2.
9. Purge the line to V-3 by repeating Step 2 through Step 6, but this time, use bleed valve V-4 and Carrier Cylinder 2.

September 2019 SK-07781
10. With valves 1-4 closed, open both cylinder valves and regulate both carriers to approximately 10 psig.
11. Open V-2 and V-3 simultaneously; then turn both cylinder valves off and let the carrier gases bleed through the line to the GC until all gauges read 0 psig.
12. Repeat Step 8 and Step 9 twice to purge the line to the GC.
13. Leak check all the fittings carefully.
14. Let the GC run overnight before calibrating.

2.5 Changing the thermistors

Use this procedure to change the helium thermistors to hydrogen comparable thermistors.
WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to observe this warning may cause death or serious injury to personnel.
Hydrogen is potentially explosive. Use extreme caution when using hydrogen as the gas chromatograph's carrier gas.
To prevent ignition of hazardous atmospheres, disconnect from supply circuit before opening the enclosure. Keep tightly closed when circuits are alive. For division installations using a conduit, a sealing device must be connected within 18 in. (460 mm).
Procedure
1. Turn off power to the gas chromatograph.

5. Use a standard flathead screwdriver and remove the two detector block screws (Figure 2-7, Item A) and remove the detector block.
6. Remove the two -in. thermistor nuts (Figure 2-7, Item D).
7. Remove the thermistors and the PTFE seals from the detector block.
8. Replace the thermistor seals and the thermistors (Kit P/N 2-3-0500-521) that shipped with the retrofit kit.
9. Thread the thermistors through the two -in. thermistor nuts and tighten the nuts. Using the proper wrench, apply 20 ft.-lb. of torque.
10. Reattach the detector block using the two flathead screws.
11. Attach the terminal wires for the thermistors and tighten the four screws (see
Figure 2-7).
12. Install the upper enclosure cover (Figure 2-6). Make sure that the cover is correctly seated and tightly closed.
13. Install the insulation cover.
14. Turn on the gas chromatograph power.

2.6 Adjusting the carrier pressure

This section describes the carrier pressure adjustment after performing the helium to hydrogen gas conversion.
Procedure
1. Adjust the carrier pressure to approximately half of what it was with the helium.
16 Emerson.com/Rosemount
Retrofit Instructions Installation
SK-07781 September 2019
2. Make a single run with calibration gas and see how close the chromatogram is when compared to the chromatogram with helium. If it is too fast, reduce the carrier pressure. If it is too slow, increase the carrier pressure.
3. Continue to make single runs and adjust the carrier pressure until it looks close to what it was with the helium carrier.
4. If necessary, make any required valve timing changes to bring the GC back to full function.
Use the following guide to help in valve adjustments. The guide is specific to C6+ BTU analysis, backflush to measure, dual column arrangement, but can be used for any valve timing adjustments required using the appropriate valve and component.
