DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATIONS

1-1 OVERVIEW

Instruction Manual
760001-A
October 2002
SECTION 1
This manual describes the Flame Ionization Detector (FID) Analyzer Module of Rose­mount Analytical's NGA2000 Series of gas analysis components. See Figure 1-1 below and Figure 1-2 on page 1-2.
The FID Analyzer Module is designed to con­tinuously determine the concentration of hy­drocarbons in a flowing gaseous mixture. The concentration is expressed in parts-per-million or percent of volume.
The entire FID Analyzer Module is designed as a slide-in module (if configured in stand-alone instrument fashion), removable from the front of the Platform, with gas con­nections made from the rear. All electronics relative to sample detection and conditioning are included in this module.

1-2 TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

The monitoring of atmospheric air for low-level hydrocarbon contaminants and determining the hydrocarbon content of exhaust emissions from internal combustion engines are exam­ples of typical applications for the FID Ana­lyzer Module.

1-3 THEORY OF TECHNOLOGY

This Analyzer Module uses the flame ioniza­tion method of detection. The sensor is a burner in which a regulated flow of sample gas passes through a flame sustained by regulated flows of a fuel gas (hydrogen or a hydrogen/diluent mixture) and air.
Within the flame, the hydrocarbon compo­nents of the sample stream undergo a com­plex ionization that produces electrons and positive ions. Polarized electrodes collect
these ions, causing current to flow through an electronic measuring circuit
The ionization current is proportional to the rate at which carbon atoms enter the burner, and is therefore a measure of the concentra­tion of hydrocarbons in the sample. This measure of concentration is placed on the network, where it is can be shown on the Plat­form Display or on other data acquisition de­vices.

1-4 GAS SAFETY FEATURES

The FID Analyzer Module is designed with a factory installed continuous dilution purge sys­tem in accordance with standard ANSI/NFPA 496 - 1993, Chapter 6. Front-panel LEDs indi­cate that the burner flame is lit and that the purge system is enabled. In addition, fuel gas is automatically shut off when a flame-out condition occurs or the safety system is dis­abled.
The purge system is enabled only if there is proper purge gas flow in, purge gas pressure, and internal case pressure, and after five times the case volume has been exchanged.
All tubing ahead of the burner is rigid metallic tubing assembled with ferrule/nut type com­pression fittings. However, should an internal fuel leak occur, a worst-case leak would be dissipated below 25% of the LEL of hydrogen through the combination of an inlet fuel flow restrictor and purge gas flow.
This module is designed to use 100% hydro­gen fuel or 40% H mum inlet pressure of 3446 hPa-gauge (50 psig). A different flow restrictor is used for each fuel type.
A standard FID Analyzer Module is only equipped to analyze a non-flammable sample, below 100% of the LEL.
POSSIBLE EXPLOSION HAZARD
Protection against explosion depends upon a special fuel flow restrictor in the fuel inlet fitting. Do not remove fuel inlet restrictor. Use the correct fuel flow restric­tor for the fuel being used. Do not use 100% hydrogen fuel in a 40% H2/60% He configured Analyzer Module. Replace only with factory supplied fitting.

equipped to use 100% hydrogen fuel. The particular application and characteristics of the sample gas to be measured will dictate the preferred type of fuel. The following guide­lines can be used for determining fuel gas type:
1. For measuring low-level hydrocarbons in ambient air or in other sample gas with relatively constant oxygen content, 100% hydrogen is preferable. It provides the highest obtainable sensitivity and maxi­mum stability. Zero drift caused by ambi­ent temperature variations of the fuel cylinder is somewhat lower for 100% hydrogen than for mixed fuel. (With either fuel, it is desirable to maintain a constant cylinder temperature.)
2. For monitoring internal combustion ex­haust emissions or other sample gas with varying oxygen content, mixed fuel is preferable. In fact, a hydrogen/helium mixture is more desirable than a hydro­gen/nitrogen mixture. With this type of sample, the use of mixed fuel gas mini­mizes the error introduced by oxygen synergism.
An effective way to reduce the effect of inter­nal oxygen is to dilute it with an inert gas. This can be accomplished with a constant dilution of sample and calibration gases upstream from the burner. But it is simpler and more ac­curate to provide that diluent in the form of premixed fuel. Both nitrogen and helium have been used as a diluent, but helium has proven to be most effective in improving the quality of response to the various species of hydrocar­bons.
As indicated earlier the flame output signal is optimum when the ratio of hydrogen flow to inert flow is about 40/60. Therefore, this is the chosen composition for hydrogen/helium pre­mixed fuel.
The sample flow is kept low to maximize the

Typical flow rates with premixed fuel:

with the latter. However, in any application where the sample contains more than one species of hydrogen and/or a varying concen­tration of oxygen, mixed fuel is preferred.
Fuel 100 cc/min
Sample 7 cc/min
Air 400 cc/min
Note that with a 40/60 premixed fuel, the above flow rates amount to 40 cc (8%) hydro­gen, 67 cc (13%) inert plus sample and 400 cc (79%) air, which compare closely to the 30 cc (8%) hydrogen, 45 cc (12%) inert/sample and 300 cc (80%) air noted earlier for straight hydrogen fuel.
Since sample flow in the case of mixed fuel operation is only about 1/6 of that with straight hydrogen fuel, higher sensitivity is obtained

Table 1-1. Analyzer Characteristics Relative to Fuel Gas
The mixed fuel is recommended, not only for sample containing variable concentrations of oxygen, but also for a specific pure gas appli­cation. If straight oxygen samples are used with straight hydrogen fuel, the mixture enter­ing the burner is essentially 40% H which tends to produce an unstable signal. The mixed fuel works better. Note that the choice of fuel determines certain analyzer characteristics, as shown in Table 1-1 below.

2-4 GASES

a. Overview

During normal operation, the Analyzer Module requires fuel and air to maintain the burner flame as well as suitable stan­dard gases for calibration and instrument air for purge requirements. Criteria for se­lection of these gases follow in 2-4c on page 2-5.
After initial startup or after startup follow­ing a prolonged shutdown, the analyzer may display baseline drift for a consider­able period of time, particularly on the most sensitive range. Commonly, the drift is caused by small amounts of hydrocar­bons in the inner walls of the tubing in both the internal flow system and the ex­ternal gas supply system. Drift results from any factor influencing the equilibrium of these absorbed hydrocarbons, such as temperature or pressure.
Note that this type of drift occurs only when the flame is burning. If drift occurs when the flame is extinguished, the elec­tronic circuitry is at fault. To minimize drift, use clean fuel and air, keep the analyzer clean, and locate the gas cylinders in an area of relatively constant ambient tem­perature.
The cylinders supplying all gases each should be equipped with a clean, hydro­carbon free, two stage regulator and a shutoff valve.
All new external gas tubing (except for PURGE IN/OUT and SAMPLE BYPASS) is strongly recommended, preferably pre­cleaned, stain-less steel, gas chromatograph grade tubing. Thoroughly clean before use. if a hydrocarbon based cleaning solvent such as acetone is used, purge tubing with dry nitrogen or helium for several minutes before using.
Instruction Manual
760001-A
October 2002
Since the oxidation of hydrogen is ac­companied by the formation of water va­por, the Exhaust tubing always should be slanted downward at least 6 degrees from horizontal. Otherwise, water may accumu­late in the line, causing back pressure and noisy readings, or may back up in the line and flood the burner.
If the sample is toxic or noxious, or is to be reclaimed, connect the Bypass outlet to a suitable disposal system. Do not use any device that may cause back pressure in the line.
Purge air and burner air should be sup­plied from separate sources.

b. Connections

Reference Figure 2-2 on page 2-2. Con­nect inlet and outlet lines for sample, burner fuel and air, exhaust, bypass, and purge to appropriately labeled fittings on the rear panel. All connections are 1/4 inch ferrule type compression fittings ex­cept the PURGE AIR IN and OUT con­nections, which are 3/8 inch compression fittings. The BURNER EXHAUST OUT is a 1/2 inch connection. Burner exhaust, bypass and purge air out must be vented at atmospheric pressure to a non­classified location in accordance with ANSI/NFPA-496.
It is recommended that no connection be made to the PURGE AIR OUT port. If, however, the analyzer's location requires interconnection with a venting system, the 3/8" O.D. line should be kept as short as possible, and no longer than four feet.
CAUTION
POSSIBLE INSTRUMENT DAMAGE
No connection should be made to the PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE fitting. Doing so may cause damage to the instrument.
Gas line connections are compression fit­tings. Do not use pipe thread tape.

c. Specifications

Fuel Gas
Standard analysis usually requires mixed fuel, i.e., 40% (±2%) hydrogen and 60% helium. H2/He mixed fuel is recom­mended over H2/N2 fuel because of bet­ter linearity in concentration output. Such blends are supplied by many gas vendors specifically for this use, with a guaranteed maximum total hydrocarbon content of 0.5 ppm, measured as methane. This specifi­cation should be used when obtaining these mixtures.
NOTE
The fuel restrictor is marked with a red dot, and the sample capillary is marked with a red or green dot for mixed fuel applications.
Some applications require the use of 100% hydrogen fuel. When using this option, always ensure that sample pressure (4 to 5 psig) is present when fuel flow is present. Otherwise, the de­tector tip may be damaged.
The fuel restrictor and sample capillary are marked with a white dot for 100% hydrogen fuel applications.
Burner Air
In order to ensure a low background sig­nal, burner air should contain less than 1 ppm maximum total hydrocarbon content. An alternate source for burner air and zero gas (see CALIBRATION GASES be­low) is a combination diaphragm pump and heated palladium catalyst. This proc­ess continuously removes moderate amounts of hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide from ambient air.
Purge Air
Instrument quality air, nitrogen, or other nonflammable gas is required for the safety purge system.
Instruction Manual
760001-A
October 2002
Calibration Gases
Calibration method and gases depends on the type of fuel gas used, the operating range, and the desired measurement ac­curacy. In all methods, zero and span gases are used, and are introduced through the sample inlet at the rear of the module.
Z
ERO GAS - Analysis is affected by the
background gas of the sample. Therefore, it is recommended to use zero gas with as close to the background composition of the sample as possible. Normally less than 0.5 THC as CH
If the burner fuel is 100% hydrogen, the zero gas, background gas of the sample or background gas of the span gas cannot be hydrogen or oxygen. These gases combined with pure hydrogen fuel would generate excessive heat in the burner, causing deterioration of the internal com­ponents of the burner.
S
PAN GAS - Span gas consists of a speci-
fied concentration of methane or other hydrocarbon in a background gas such as nitrogen. Analysis is affected by the
background gas of the sample. There­fore, span gas containing the same background gas as the sample is rec­ommended. Then, the background ef­fect is canceled out.
S
AMPLE GAS - Sample gas should be non-
flammable (below 100% of the sample's LEL). For high sensitivity applications re­quiring background gas compensation, contact the factory.
F
LOW RATE - The sample flow rate must
be between 0.5 L/min. and 2 L/min. Flow rate for purge air should be 16 to 18 L/min.
P
RESSURIZATION/FILTRATION - Sample
pressure at the SAMPLE inlet should be within the range of 483 to 1035 hPa-gauge (7 to 15 psig), and internally, should be 345 hPa-gauge (5 psig) nomi­nally. Burner fuel pressures should be:
4 is sufficient.
Rosemount Analytical Inc. A Division of Emerson Process Management Installation 2-5
Instruction Manual
760001-A October 2002
1725 to 3450 hPa-gauge (25 to 50 psig) for cylinder regulator, 1518 to 1723 hPa-gauge (22 to 25 psig) internal. Burner air pressures should be: 1725 to 3450 hPa-gauge (25 to 50 psig) for cylin­der regulator, 965 to 1103 hPa-gauge (14 to 16 psig) internal. Purge air (external supply) pressure should be between 689 and 1378 hPa-gauge (10 and 20 psig), 689 to 827 hPa-gauge (10 to 12 psig) nominal. The internal purge air regulator pressure is factory preset at a nominal setting of 551 hPa-gauge (8 psig) with a supply pressure of 689 hPa-gauge (10 psig). Noncompliance with these specifi­cations, particularly those concerning purge air, could cause over-pressure damage to the module. The nominal in­ternal case pressure is about 0.5 to 1.0 inch of water, and the pressure relief valve is set at 1/3 psig (nominal).
At the very least, the module's safety sys­tem, which requires a certain volume of purge air flowing through the case before allowing burner ignition, will not allow the instrument to operate.

for accuracy. Sample should be filtered for particulates down to two microns.

d. LEAK TEST

The Analyzer Module is completely tested at the factory for gas leakage. The user is responsible for testing for leakage at the inlet and outlet fittings on the rear panel. The user is also responsible for internal leak testing periodically and if any internal pneumatic components are adjusted or replaced (with a test procedure chosen by the user).

2-5 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Two electrical connections are required on the Analyzer Module: POWER and NETWORK. See Figure 2-4 on page 2-4. On the Analyzer Module, two NETWORK connectors are available, either of which is appropriate for: 1) interconnection with the Backplane of the Platform or 2) "daisy-chaining" with other NGA2000 components. Connect Analyzer Module POWER to Backplane POWER or ex­ternal 24 VDC power source.
All internal pressure settings are preset at the factory, but the operator should check
