1.3.Restriction for use
The AMI Deltacon DG is designed for determination of:
specific (total) conductivity
cation (acid) conductivity after the cation exchanger
degassed conductivity after a sample reboiler in water-steam-
cycles only.
It calculates the pH value and the concentration of the alkaline substance (NH2, Morpholine, etc.) if an alkaline substance is present in
the water.
It is not suitable for pH determination in high purity water before
alkalization reagent addition.
Conditions for pH calculation:
only 1 alkalization agent in the sample
the contamination is mostly NaCl
phosphate concentration is < 0.5 ppm
pH value is > 7.5, and < 11.5
No sand. No oil.
The sample must not contain any particles, which may block the
flow cell. Sufficient sample flow is coercive for the correct function
of the instrument.
WARNING
For safe instrument installation and operation you must read
and understand the instructions in this manual, as well as the

The analyzer is factory tested and ready for installation and operation.
When a voltage is set between two electrodes in an electrolyte
solution, the result is an electric field which exerts force on the
charged ions: the positively charged cations move towards the negative electrode (cathode) and the negatively charged anions towards the positive electrode (anode). The ions, by way of capture
or release of electrons at the electrodes, are discharged and so a
current I flows through this cycle and the Ohms law V = I×R applies. From the total resistance R of the current loop, only the resistance of the electrolyte solution, respectively its conductivity
of interest.
The cell constant of the sensor is determined by the manufacturer
and is printed on the sensor label. If the cell constant has been programmed in the transmitter, the instrument measures correctly. No
calibration is must be done, the sensor is factory calibrated. Measuring unit is S/cm or S/m.
Conductivity from all ions in the sample, mainly the alkalization
agent. The contribution of impurities is masked by the alkalization
agent.
The alkalization agent is removed in the cation column. All cationic
ions are exchanged with H+, all anionic impurities (ions with negative charge) pass through the column unchanged.

OperationThe sample enters at the sample inlet [O] and flows through the
After the heat exchanger the sample is heated up to 0.5 °C below
the boiling point. Hereby volatile components are removed from the
sample, mainly carbon dioxide. Thus, the degassed cation conductivity is a measure of the impurities without a CO2 error.
The mobility of ions in water increase with higher temperature
which enlarges the conductivity. Therefore, the temperature is measured simultaneously by an integrated Pt1000 temperature sensor
and the conductivity is compensated to 25 °C. Several temperature
compensation curves, designed for different water compositions,
can be chosen.
After cation exchanger (cation conductivity), the temperature compensation curve strong acids has to be set.
For more information see: Influence of Temperature on Electrical
Conductivity, PPChem (2012)
The displayed conductivity value is compensated to 25°C standard
temperature.

flow regulating valve [I], where the flow rate can be adjusted.
With the first conductivity sensor [A] the specific conductivity (sc) of
the sample is measured. Then the sample is led through the cation
exchanger bottle [P] where all alkalization agent is eliminated. Afterwards the cation conductivity (cc) of the sample is measured
with the second conductivity sensor [B].
The sample leaves the measuring cell through the flow meter [G]
and is led through the heating element of the heat exchanger [L],
where the sample is pre-heated.The pre-heated sample flows then
into the heater [N] where it is heated up to its boiling point. Vapor
leaves the heater via the pressure relief tube [E]. The boiled sample flows via tube [M] back to the heat exchanger where it is cooled
down. Then it flows via tube [R] into flow cell [H] where the degassed conductivity is measured.
The temperature is measured with the temperature sensors integrated in the conductivity sensors.
