Require-
ments
Flow
Interruption
Correct the pH of the sample with Diisopropylamine only, however,
Diisopropylamine is not included in delivery. Please buy it from your
local supplier: E.g. VWR 6x 1l: 8.03646.1000, or SIGMA 38290-1L-F.
No sand (or other polishing material) or oil are allowed in the sample.
The instrument is specified for a max. pressure of 2 bar (28 psi). If
the sample pressure exceeds 2 bar, please mount a pressure reduction in front of the instrument inlet.
Phosphates may interfere with the hydrazine measurement.
The pH value of the sample must be equal or higher than pH 7.
High concentrations of Diisopropylamine reagent may attack the
acrylic material of the flow cell. This can cause cracks and render
the flow cell completely unusable. This will not happen during normal operation. However, if the sample flow is stopped, undiluted diisoproylamine will diffuse through the diffusion tube and can cause
damage. Therefore, the following rules should be observed if the
sample flow is stopped for more than one day:
Remove diisopropylamine bottle and close it. Keep it in a safe
place for further use.
WARNING
Diisopropylamine is corrosive.
Read the Safety Data Sheets (SDS) first.
Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protec-
tion.
Avoid inhalation of DIPA vapor.
In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of
water eyelid wide open for at least 10 min, summon medical
advice. In case of accident or if you feel unwell, summon
medical advice immediately (show the label where possible).
Screw an empty reagent bottle on the holder.
Let the sample flow for another 30 minutes to rinse out the Di-
isopropylamine dissolved in the diffusion tubing material.
Stop sample flow.

Features

consumption
Measuring
principle
FluidicsThe measurement of hydrazine requires a high pH of the sample.
No data loss after power failure. All data is saved in non-volatile
memory.
Over voltage protection of in- and outputs.
Galvanic separation of measuring inputs and signal outputs. The
analyzer is factory tested and ready for installation and operation.
Reagent consumption (at 25°C):
< 1L diisopropylamine per month
3-electrode amperometry:
The sensor consists of two platinum electrodes and a reference
electrode. A voltage is applied to the platinum electrodes and kept
on a optimum level by the reference electrode. The hydrazine in the
sample generates a small current on the platine pin electrode,
which is proportional to the hydrazine concentration.
For an optimal sensitivity and stability, a rotor continuously cleans
the surfaces of the platinum electrodes (hydrodynamic cleaning).
To ensure a sufficient sample flow, a Hall-Sensor detects the rotations of the rotor. If the rotation speed falls below a certain value, a
flow Alarm is triggered.
The signal of amperometric systems depends on flow rate. The
constant head guarantees a constant flow if the sample always
overflows into the longer constant head tube.
Temperature compensation is done automatically.
The AMI Hydrazine buffers the pH to pH>10.5 by adding diisopropylamine. The diisopropylamine is dissolved in the water while
flowing through a diffusion tube.
The sample enters at the sample inlet [E], passes the filter [G] and
the flow regulating valve [D], where the sample flow can be adjusted. From there it flows through the diffusion tube [L] in the diisopropylamine bottle [K], picking up diisopropylamine and reaching
pH>10.5. Afterwards, the sample is led directly into the shorter
overflow tube [C]. From there it flows through the hydrazine sensor
[F] and leaves the flow cell via sample outlet [H]. Excess sample
overflows from the shorter overflow tube into the constant head [A],
fills it until the sample overflows into the longer overflow tube. Sample must always overflow into the longer overflow tube to ensure
constant flow and pressure at the hydrazine sensor. The sample
leaves the flow cell via sample outlet [H].
