Trace Oxygen Analyzer Operational Theory
Operational Theory
2.1 Introduction
The analyzer is composed of three subsystems:
1. Three Zirconium Oxide (ZrO
specific range of analysis: Low range sensor of 0-200 ppm, medium range sensor of 0-2 %, and high range sensor of 0-95%.
2. Sample System
3. Electronic Signal Processing, Display and Control
The sample system is designed to accept the sample gas and transport it through the analyzer without contaminating or altering the sample prior to analysis. The ZrO2 sensor is a device that translates the amount of oxygen present in the sample into an electrical current. The electronic signal processing, display and control subsystem simplifies operation of the analyzer and accurately processes the sampled data. The microprocessor controls all signal processing, input/output and display functions for the analyzer.
) Sensors. Each one has a

2.2 ZrO2 Sensor
2.2.1 Principles of Operation
Teledyne’s zirconium oxide sensor is a miniature solid state sensor. It uses a stabilized zirconia disc as an electrolyte with a sensing electrode (the cathode) and a counter electrode (the anode) on each side of the disc. The zirconia is heated to a temperature of about 500°C via a built-in heater. By applying a suitable reference voltage (approximately
0.75 volt) across the cathode and anode, the heated zirconia acts as an electrolyte which is capable of moving oxygen ions within its crystalline structure. This allows for the reduction of oxygen molecules reaching the cathode and the generation of a current equivalent to the parts per million oxygen in the sample gas.
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 7
Operational Theory 3000ZA-3X
One of the three sensors has been modified (0-200 ppm range) to sense low levels of oxygen—less than 1 ppm and generate a current proportional to the concentration. The sensor is designed for long term stability and an operating life of 5 years.
2.3 Sample System
The sample system delivers gases to the ZrO2 sensors, located on the cell block, from the analyzer rear panel inlet. Depending on the mode of operation either sample or calibration gas is delivered.
The Model 3000ZA sample system is designed and fabricated to ensure that the oxygen concentration of the gas is not altered as it travels through the sample system.
The sample system for the standard instrument incorporates compression tube fittings for sample inlet and 1/4” outlet tube connections at the rear panel. The sample or calibration gas that flows through the system is monitored by a flowmeter downstream from the cell. Figure 2-1 shows the piping layout for the standard model.
Figure 2-2 shows the flow diagram for sampling systems used for the three configurations offered as options for this instrument. In the standard instrument, calibration gases can be connected directly to the Sample In port by teeing to the port with appropriate valves.

2.4 Zirconium Oxide Sensor Application Notes
The following sample gases require conditioning prior to entering
the sensors:
Flammable gases such as methane, alcohol and carbon
monoxide may cause a measurement error. They must be filtered from the sample gas before entering the cell.
Gases containing halogen atoms (F, Cl, Br, etc.) such as
Freon, must be filtered before entering the cell. The sensor will be damaged by the decomposition of Freon.
Gases containing SOx, H2S, silicone vapor and adhesives
must not enter the sensor. These components adversely affect the performance of the sensor.
Dust and oil should be filtered from the sample gas.
Water vapor in contact with the sensor will damage the
sensor. Use a moisture trap or filter to remove any water vapor in the sample.
2.5 Electronics and Signal Processing
The Model 3000ZA Trace Oxygen Analyzer uses an 8031 microcontroller with 32 kB of RAM and 128 kB of ROM to control all signal processing, input/output, and display functions for the analyzer.
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 9
Operational Theory 3000ZA-3X
System power is supplied from a universal power supply module designed to be compatible with any international power source. Figure 2-3 shows the location of the power supply and the main electronic PC boards.
The signal processing electronics including the microprocessor, analog to digital, and digital to analog converters are located on the motherboard at the bottom of the case. The preamplifier board is mounted on top of the motherboard as shown in the figure. These boards are accessible after removing the back panel. Figure 2-4 is a block diagram of the analyzer electronics.
In the presence of oxygen the zirconia sensor generates a current. A current to voltage amplifier converts this current to a voltage, which is amplified in the second stage amplifier. The output from the second stage amplifier is sent to an 18 bit analog to digital converter controlled by the microprocessor. In the block diagram only one sensor is shown, but in reality there are three separate amplifier circuits for each sensor. The output of each sensor is then multiplexed to the analog to digital converter.
The high operating temperature of the ZrO
sensor is required for
2
proper operation of the sensor. The amplifier PCB contains a circuit that drives the heater embedded in the sensor. The voltage across the heater rises slowly to avoid damaging the heater/sensor assembly. After a few minutes, the sensor will be at the proper operating temperature.
The digital concentration signal along with input from the control panel is processed by the microprocessor, and appropriate control signals are directed to the display, alarms and communications port. The same digital information is also sent to a 12 bit digital to analog converter that produces the 4-20 mA dc and the 0-1 VDC analog concentration signal outputs, and the analog range ID outputs.
Signals from the power supply are also monitored, and through the microprocessor, the system failure alarm is activated if a malfunction is detected.
