CONDENSER

The gas stream from the water tank is fed to the condenser. The condenser

causes moisture from the gas stream to condense until the gas stream leaving

the condenser is at the required percent of moisture by volume level.

CALIBRATION VALVE

The calibration valve is normally closed when the instrument is in the “RUN”

mode. The calibration valve opens in the “CALIBRATION OR CALIBRATION

CHECK” modes to allow the reference gas to flow to the sensor.

CALIBRATION PUMP

The calibration pump starts to run when the instrument is in the

“CALIBRATION OR CALIBRATION CHECK” modes. This pump runs at twice

the speed of the sampling pump to assure that the barrel and sensor is flooded

with the reference gas.
