•
The dew point of the sample gas must be lower th
an
the
ambient temperature to avoid condensation in the analyzer. If
vapor is contained in the sampling gas, the dew point should
be lowered to 0°C by using a dehumidifier.
•
If SO
2
mist is contained in the sample gas, use a mist filter or
cooler to remove the SO
2
mist. Other mists should be
removed by using an appropriate mist filter or cooler.
•
Corrosive gases such as Cl
2
, F
2
an
d HCl, if contained in the
sample gas in considerable amounts, will sho
rt
en the life of
the instrument.
•
Sample gas temperature should be within 0 to 50°C. Hot gas
should not be fed directly into the instrument.
2.5.4 Flowrate
Use a flowrate of 0.5L/min ±0.2L/min. The sample system should
be designed to avoid any flow fluctuation du
ri
ng measurement.
Use a flowmeter to observe the flow reading as shown in the
external piping diagrams of Figures 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7.
2.5.5 Preparation of Calibration Gas
Routine calibration using calibration gases is required for
optimizing the performance of this instrument. Once a week is a
suggested calibration frequency. Table 2-2 indicates the zero and span
gas required for calibration.
