Aurora 19
Reliable Moisture Measurement
GE’s Aurora 19 analyzer uses tunable diode laser
absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) to accurately
measure moisture in a variety of background gases.
The Aurora 19 analyzer is suitable for installation
in safe areas and operates over a wide range of
environmental conditions. Aurora 19’s fast response
immediately alerts when moisture concentrations are
out of compliance; once corrected, gas can be quickly
cleared for process normalization.
The Aurora 19 analyzers have an intuitive interface
that makes them easy to learn, congure and
operate. With a local service team to support them,
you have the condence of knowing that Aurora 19
analyzers are always ready for immediate moisture
measurement. With power and gas lines easily
connected, the Aurora 19 moisture analyzer provides
a wide range of reliable measurement with accuracy
and fast response you need for immediate alerts
to process upsets or out-of-compliance moisture
concentrations.

Response Time
Response Time Optical system <2 seconds
System Response The system response is dependent on the
length of sample tubing, sample system
