2.1. Description of the System
This manual describes the function of the instruments:
AMI Powercon specific
AMI Powercon acid
Both instruments are applicable for the measurement of conductivity in power cycles.
The AMI Powercon specific measures the specific (total) conductivity of a sample.
The AMI Powercon acid measures the acid (cation) conductivity of
a sample. It is therefore delivered with a cation exchanger bottle.
The transmitter can be used with a two-electrode conductivity sensor with an integrated Pt1000 temperature sensor, e.g. Swansensor UP-Con1000.
Application
range
The conductivity is a parameter for the total quantity of ions present
in the solution. It can be used for the controlling of:
the condition of waters
water purification
water hardness
completeness of ion analysis

Cation Con-
ductivity (Acid
Conductivity):

Standard
Tem per atu re
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.
Only with AMI Powercon acid.
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.
The mobility of ions in water increase with higher temperature
which enlarges the conductivity. Therefore, the temperature is measured simultaneous 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.

Conductivity, PPChem (2012)

The flow cell (QV-Flow) consists of the flow cell block [B], the flow
meter [C] and the flow regulating valve [E].
The conductivity sensor [A] with integrated temperature sensor is
screwed into the flow cell block [B].
The sample flows via the sample inlet [F] through the flow regulating valve [E], where the flow rate can be adjusted, into the flow cell
block [B], were the specific conductivity of the sample is measured.
The sample leaves the flow cell block via flow meter [C] through the
sample outlet [D].

Pre-rinse
Option
The sample flows via the sample inlet [G] through the flow regulating valve [C], where the flow rate can be adjusted, into the flow cell
block [B].
The sample is led through the cation exchanger bottle [M] where all
alkalization agent is eliminated. Afterwards the cation conductivity
of the sample is measured with the conductivity sensor [H].
The sample leaves the measuring cell through the flow meter and
the sample collector [J] and flows into the pressure-free sample
outlet.
Temperature is measured with the temperature sensor integrated
the conductivity sensor.
The AMI Deltacon Power with pre-rinse option allows fast replacement of the cation exchanger because the resin is pre-rinsed. Prerinsing has the effect to remove disturbing contaminations contained in the resin, which may cause incorrect measuring values.
The two resin bottles are vented via small tubes connected to the
sample collector [J].
If the pre-rinse option is installed, the sample flows via flow meter
through the per-rinse inlet [D] into the second cation exchanger bottle [F] and from there via pre-rinse outlet [E] through the sample
collector [J] into the waste funnel.
The cation exchanger bottles are vented via two small tubes which
are connected to the flanges [K] and [L].

The AMI Powercon with pre-rinse option allows fast replacement of
the cation exchanger because the resin is pre-rinsed. Pre-rinsing
has the effect to remove disturbing contaminations contained in the
resin, which may cause incorrect measuring values. The two resin
bottles are vented via small tubes connected to the sample collector [H].

2 Fill high purity water into the cation exchanger bottle [C], until
the water level in the bottle reaches the beginning of the thread.
3 Carefully, without spilling water, push the cation exchanger bot-
tle over the inlet filter holder [D] into the bottle holder [B].
4 Screw the cation exchanger bottle into the bottle holder.
Do not tighten the bottle too firmly, this could damage the
gasket.
