Checking for Leaks Associated with the PLC5
How do I know if there is a leak in the system? Good
question. If you have the leaf cuvette closed with no leaf
present, you should observe a CO
2
differential (CO2d) close
to 0 (± 1.0 ppm and stable). If your CO2d is > ppm and
fluctuating this usually is the result of a leak. To help isolate
the leak and to determine if the leak is associated with the
TARGAS-1 console or the PLC5, we include a simple “Leaf
Cuvette Simulator” (Part No. STD553) with each new system
that can be very helpful.
To checks for leaks, connect the cuvette simulator to the PLC Gas port on the TARGAS-1 console just
like you would connect the PLC5 gas connector. This will allow you to sample the same air in both the
reference and analysis cells of the infrared gas analyzer. When the simulator is connected to the
TARGAS-1 you should observe stable CO2r, CO2a, H2Or and H2Oa readings and the CO
2
differential
(CO2d) should be close to 0 (± 1.0 ppm and stable).
If you observe a CO2d value close to 0 and stable with the Leaf Cuvette Simulator and you do not when
the PLC5 leaf cuvette is connected to the TARGAS-1, the leak is likely associated with the PLC5 leaf
cuvette. As described earlier, PLC5 leaks are normally associated with the leaf cuvette gaskets. To
isolate the leak, take a small piece of tubing and gently breathe around the gaskets and monitor the
CO2d on the TARGAS-1 console. If you see a spike or increase in CO2d you have found the leak.
Replace or re-seat the gaskets as described above. Also, you should check to make sure that the head
is closing and sealing properly.
If you observe a fluctuating CO2d value that is also > 1.0 ppm with the leaf cuvette simulator connected,
the leak is likely associated with the TARGAS-1 console. Normally leaks associated with the console can
be found around absorber columns especially after a recent change in chemicals. Gently blow around
the absorber columns to isolate leaks.
