3.2.2 Cabinet Cooler Air Valve
The system provides on/off control of the air to the cabinet cooler via a solenoid valve with
respect to a configuration set-point. The
Cabinet Cooler Air Valve
is located on the top of the
analyzer behind the purge box. The
Cabinet Cooler Air Valve
is a coarse flow rate adjustment
of air to the vortex tube cabinet cooler (typically on or off with minor throttling possible). The
temperature is displayed on the computer Front Panel as ‘Control Cabinet Temperature’.
When control cabinet cooling air is on, the additional purging flow will cause the over-
pressure relief valve to open.
3.2.3 Condenser Cooling Air Flow Adjust Valve
The system provides on/off control of the probe cooling air via a solenoid operated valve. The
Condenser Cooling Air Flow Adjust Valve
is a coarse flow rate adjustment of air used to cool
the condenser section of the sample probe. The sample probe contains an internal surface,
exposed to the process sample gas path, which can be cooled by the introduction of
instrument air. Sulfur condensing on this surface is hydrostatically returned to the process
stream.
The concentration of sulphur vapour in the process sample gas exiting the probe is measured
and displayed on the computer Front Panel as
Sulphur Vapour.
The
Condenser Cooling Air
Flow Adjust Valve is opened to reduce the Sulphur Vapour . There is normally a long time
constant associated with this adjustment. Several factors can impact the temperature of the
gas exiting the probe. These factors include:
•
changes in process gas temperature
• changes in cooling air temperature
• changes in the process gas sample aspiration rate and elapsed time since and the duration
of a probe back purge.
During a calibration sequence or back purge operation, instrument air is forced into the
sample probe from the oven. The indicated sulphur vapour during and immediately after a
back purging operation is and NOT the sulphur vapour concentration in the process sample
gas.
The desired situation is that the concentration of the sulphur vapour in the
process sample gas exiting the sample probe is lower than with the probe
cooling air off without causing plugging of the sample probe..
3.2.4 Zero Air Flow Adjust Valve
The
Zero Air Flow Adjust Valve
(controls the flow rate of air used in the zeroing and back
purging operations (the analyzer ‘zero’ is adjusted under back purge conditions). Under
normal operating circumstances, the Zero Air Flow Adjust Valve is adjusted to provide
sufficient air flow to obtain a 2-5 second stabilized zero response time from a ‘sampling’ state.
The stabilized zero response is ascertained by monitoring the time required for the analyzer
gas concentration outputs to stabilize at a near zero level once the analyzer has been
switched from a sample to zero (back purge) mode. Excessive zero air flow rates will overly
cool oven components. A deficient zero air flow rate may not provide adequate flushing of the
measurement cell before a zero adjustment is made. In extraordinary circumstances, during
