1 INTRODUCTION
Michell Instruments designs and manufactures a broad range of sampling systems for a
wide spectrum of industries and processes from the economical compressed air market
to the oil and gas process market.
The ES20 Compact Sampling System (CSS) is a standard modular product designed to
appeal to customers who require an economic system delivered for fast integration into
their own work package.
Fast delivery is achieved through a simple modular build system on a single base plate
design completed with supply chain stocking of all required ES20 CSS parts.
The ES20 CSS is a standard fast delivery product, covering a small portion of the
Michell Instruments’ overall sampling system and process analyzer sampling system
capabilities.
1.1 Materials
To ensure continuous and reliable dew-point or moisture measurement it is important
that the dew-point transmitter is exposed to stable conditions of the gas to be monitored.
The ES20 CSS utilizes high quality materials which ensure that the sample gas travels
smoothly through the system.
If the gas contains impurities it is crucial to remove the contaminants before they reach
the sensing device. The ES20 CSS is supplied with a fi lter housing into which recyclable
particulate or coalescing fi lter cartridges can be inserted.
Filtration methods:
®
seals
®
)
• Particulate fi lter (solid contaminants)
• Coalescing fi lter with adjustable drain (solid and liquid aerosol
contaminants)
• HDPE guard (fi lter) for sensing element (standard)
• Air fi lter (with vacuum pump (standard)

1.3 Pressure Control and Measurement
Pressure has a direct effect on dew point. The ES20 CSS utilizes a set of confi gurable
options for atmospheric or system line pressure dew-point measurement.
Pressure control features:
• Pressure gauge (dual scale: bar and psi)
• Isolation valves (needle valve type)
• Self-regulating vacuum pump
1.4 Flow Control
Flow rate of a gas can affect the transmitter’s accuracy and infl uence the systems’
response time. Every sampling system contains a set of components which help to
maintain optimum fl ows of 1 to 5 Nl/min (2.1 to 10.6 scfh).
INTRODUCTION
Flow control:
• Flowmeter (with particulate or coalescing fi lter)
• Isolation valves (needle valve type)
• Flowmeter with needle valve (with vacuum pump only)
1.5 Mounting Variants
Depending on the application the sampling system can be supplied in 3 variations:
• Mounted on base plate
• Mounted on base plate inside a windowed GRP enclosure
• Mounted on base plate inside a windowed SS enclosure (316 stainless
steel)
1.6 System Designs
The ES20 CSS can be supplied in various confi gurations and can be used with many
Michell products and accessories such as:
