2.3 Installation - Gas Conditioning
In order to ensure trouble-free operation, spe-
cial attention must be paid to the preparation
of the gases:
All gases must be conditioned
before supplying to the analyzer,
to be
• dry,
• free of dust and
• free of any aggressive com-
ponents which may damage
the gas lines (e.g. by corrosi-
on or solvents).
Pressure and gas
fl
ow must remain within
the values given in the
„Measurement
Speci
fi
cations“ section within this manual.If
moisture cannot be avoided, it is necessary
to ensure that the dew point of the gases is at
least 10 °C (18 °F) below the ambient tempe-
rature to avoid condensate in the gas lines.
Hints for selected gases
• Calibration gases for CO and NO
need
to be moistured by supplying them via a
cooler.
EXPLOSION HAZARD
Do not supply gases harmful to explosion protection safety components
like
fl
ame arrestors, cable glands or analyzer enclosure!
Violation may result in explosion!
