2.2 OPERATING PRINCIPLE
SODIUMPERSULFATECLEANINGACIDSAMPLE
The water from the sample source (directly from the sampling point or through the optional
filtration unit) is fed to a sampling device mounted on the external left side of the analyzer
(ref.page19)
to check the sample presence. This device allows a good sample refreshment and will put
the analyzer in stand-by condition in case of loss of sample.
. This device drains the sample excess and is equipped with a level sensor

The external reservoir allows a fast circulation of the sample coming f rom the sampling point or from the
optional filtration unit.
Inside the fast-loop reservoir the sample is at atmospheric pressure and this allows the sample pump to
function with a constant delivery and no overpressure.In addition, the fast-loop reservoir is a usef ul extra
quantity of sample to avoid wrong alarms in case of a short loss of sample as well as eliminating air
bubbles coming from the sample line or from t he cleaning cycle of the optional filtration unit.
The stainless steel drain tubing keeps a constant water level inside the container and allows a proper
sample circulation to avoid suspended solids accumulation.
The sample flow should be adjusted to have a constant sample overflow through the stainless steel tube.
Up to 3 level switches can be connected to the analyzer, e.g. Stream A,Stream B and dilution water. Two
of the switches are normally connected to the terminals that are foun d at the left hand side of the
analyzer. For a dual stream analyzer where dilution water is also required for one or both streams, the
third level switch is connected to the user connection inside the analyzer (see page 37).
19
For a single stream analyzer, in the even t of a missing sample or dilution water stream for a period longer
than a preset time (normally set on installation to 30 s), an ala rm - LOSS OF SAMPLE - is triggered and
the analyzer switches to Standby. When the missing sample or dilution water stream is reestablished, the
analyzer restartsautomatically with a conditioning cycle.
In the case of a dual stream configuration, if no Stream A is present then the analyzer will continue to
work only on Stream B until Stream A is reestablished, and vice-versa. If both streams are not present
then again the alarm LOSS OF SAMPLE is triggered and the analyzer switches to Standby.
If either or both streams are being diluted and the dilution water stream is missing, then jumpers found
alongside the internal Level 3 terminal can be used to make the analyzer work only on the undiluted
stream or switch to Standby if both streams are diluted, again giving the alarm LOSS OF SAMPLE.

2.4.1 PERISTALTIC PUMPS
In normal on-line conditions t he 7010 TOC analyser uses two pump motors with two pump heads driven by each motor.
An extra pump head driven by a specific motor is used just in autocalibration, autovalidation or autocleaning cycles.
The sample pump head shown in flow diagram as
closest to the motor. It pumps the sample from the external reservoir to the T fitting connected on the other side to
the phosphoric acid pump head. Optimizing the sample pump flowrate is important to have a representative sample and
to reduce the analyser response time.
The phosphoric acid pump head
It pumps phosphoric acid from the phosphoric acid container to the T fitting connected to sample pump head

2.4.2 SCRUBBER
7010 TOC ANALYZER - USER MANUAL
The scrubber
It is a glass cylinder with the acidified sample inlet in upper right position. The acidified sample passes down by gravity
through the scrubber and it’s sparged by the carrier gas coming from air compressor
position.
The carbon dioxide coming from the inorganic carbon present in the sample is sparged by the carrier gas flow and
removed from the sample through the vent/drain tubing connected to the straight upper position of the scrubber.
As a result, the sample at the scrubber bottom is IC free and it can be pumped by resample pump
stage.
2.4.3 UV REACTOR + UV SCRUBBER
The UV reactor
The reaction of oxidation is catalyzed by UV radiat ion with decomposition of sodium persulfate and creation of
strongly oxidizing radicals. These conditions ensure the best recovery of organics present in the sample.
