Available gas cells and ranges
To guarantee long-lasting, trouble-free function of electrochemical sensors the
following points are important:
the stated maximum measuring range of the sensor should not be ex-
ceeded.
all the gas sensors can react unpredictably to certain chemicals
which are not typical for combustion gas composition. For this
reason, it is absolutely forbidden to wash the parts of the gas line with
chemical solvents. The vapours from such solvents can get inside the
gas chamber and result in destabilisation or even permanent damage
of the gas sensors.
the gas sensors are working even when the analyser is switched off -
so the battery should never be disconnected or completely dis-
charged.
the analyser should not be switched off before all the flue gases have
been removed from the analyser's gas circuit.
the sensor chamber must be kept dry.
the switched off analyser should be kept in a cool place, which in-
creases the lifetime of the gas sensors.
