▪
Monitoring of ambient air:
A continuous monitoring of ambient air, such as for example for Methane (CH
4
) and Hydro-
gen Sulphide (H
2
S), can also be realised via external ExTox-Transmitters.
▪
Switching between measuring points (types Biogas2 and KAT):
Determination of gas composition at different measuring points temporally one after an-
other. Supplementation of switching between measuring points forms a cost saving alterna-
tive to using several IMC. One single IMC performs the analysis one after another for the
different measuring points. Switching can be done cyclically or externally controlled. The
IMC-4D can cover up to four, the IMC-8D even up to six measuring points (special types:
twelve).
▪
Flame Arrestor
¯
IIG IIB3 (Standard) or
¯
IIG IIC:
When sampling in hazardous areas the gas flow inside the IMC is decoupled of the moni-
tored process as far as the danger of explosion is concerned. The flame arrestor is con-
nected previous to the measured gas inlet. When returning the measured gas into the proc-
ess another flame arrestor at the measured gas outlet is necessary.
▪
Measured gas cooler including automatic removal of condensate:
Gas dehumidification by means of a Peltier cooler, temperature of measured gas at outlet:
+5 °C. Recommended for very high humidity content in measured gas.
▪
Hydrophobic Dehumidification of measured gas:
Dehumidification of gas is done via a chemical exchange process. Recommended for very
high humidity content in measured gas.
▪
Heating for enclosure 100 W with thermostat c5 to +30 °C:
Necessary for very low temperatures at the place of application. Formation of condensate
inside the housing is avoided when installing the IMC outside.
Preparation for Installation outside:
Rain protection covers for housing fans and/or internal control unit
▪
ProfiBus
®
-, ModBus
®
- und Ethernet-Connection:
Measured values and messages can be transferred to a superior PLT-System via Interface.
▪
Data Logger:
Measured values and messages are stored on a SD memory card. All data can be read out
and processed on every standard PC later on.
