Section C: Principle of Operation 8

C: PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The AG-412/193U system is a passive system in the sense that it will not move the sample
gas from point A to point B. It will only dry sample gas that is pushed or pulled through it by
an external pump or pressure/vacuum source. The pump in the system is present only to
provide a vacuum source on the purged side of the membrane dryer.

As sample gas is drawn or pushed through the system by the external pump or
pressure/vacuum source, it is dried to a low moisture condition. A precision orifice serves to
meter a portion of the dried sample gas into the purged portion of the dryer. After passing
through this orifice, the pressure of the gas drops to about 15”hg. This change in total
pressure of the sample gas also lowers the partial pressure of the water vapor contained in
the gas effectively making it dry enough to be used as purge gas for the membrane dryer.
This purge gas sweeps away the moisture that is being removed from the sample gas flow
by the membrane tube in the dryer.

A silica gel filled tube on the front panel is used in the purge stream to indicate proper
operation. Initially, the silica gel indicator may be blue or pink depending upon the storage
conditions of the system. Once the system is put into operation and within a short period of
time, the silica gel will turn to a mostly light purple color, indicating the sample gas is dry and
ready for analysis. The silica gel material is blue when very dry and pink when not dry.

A vacuum gauge on the front panel shows the level of vacuum as an indication that the
purge pump is functioning.

D: INSTALLATION

Mounting

Mount AG-412 on a vertical surface using fasteners appropriate for the surface on which it is
to be mounted or install AG-193U in a standard 19” rack cabinet.

Section D: Installation
11

The suggested typical System connection method is shown below.

Figure 3 - Typical Connection Diagram

Tubing Connections

 Connect the sample inlet port to sample line from the sample pump.
 Connect the sample gas outlet to the analyzer via a tee fitting that allows excess

sample flow to be vented.

 If required, due to sample gas composition, connect pump (purge) exhaust port to a

tube that allows the system to vent in a suitable location. This is very important if the
sample gas is toxic or corrosive.

Figure 4 - Tubing Connections

Electrical Connections

 Connect the system to an appropriate power source while following all local and

regional electrical codes and guidelines.

Section D: Installation

E: START-UP PROCEDURE

Be sure the analyzer is off and that no sample gas is being drawn through the analyzer.
After confirming that the system has been properly installed, turn on the main power switch
at the power inlet module. Turn the system on with the front panel power switch. The pump
will start and the vacuum level will remain higher than 15”Hg when the system is operating
properly. The flow meter between the pump and the AG-412/193U system should be set to
a flow rate that is just slightly higher than the flow that the analyzer pump is set to deliver an
never more that about 1.5lpm. Sample gas flow greater than 1.5 lpm will greatly reduce the
drying effectiveness of the system. Allow the system to run for about 1/2hr before turning on
the analyzer pump for the first time. At this point the vacuum level should be greater than
15”Hg and the indicator on the front panel will have at least a few areas of blue silica gel
crystals. The analyzer pump may now be started.
