Figure 8. Schematic Diagram of Flow Cell
Installation Position
NOTE
• The installation position of the flow cell must be higher than
the water level of the sampling cell.
• The sampling tube shall be inserted into the flow cell and
lower than the overflow port.
• When the flow cell is working, the filter screen shall be
installed inside. Otherwise, the service life of the instrument
may be shortened.
• The filter screen needs to be cleaned regularly to prevent
the filter screen from being blocked to ensure the water
samples enter the Ammonia Analyzer for detection.
• It is suggested to install a ball valve at the water inlet end to
control the flow rate of the water sample entering the flow
cell.
The design of the flow cell is suitable for two field application
scenarios:
• option one with a proportional sampler
• option two without a proportional sampler
1.External control of water sample incoming and
outgoing (e.g. proportional sampler).
Description of flow cell installation steps:
2.Water sample incoming and outgoing is controlled by
the Ammonia Analyzer
Description of flow cell installation steps: (The electric ball
valve shall be purchased by the user):
a.Use the 4 X 40 screw in
the accessories to lock
the Flow Cell to the side of
the case.
b.Connect the hose from the
proportional sampler to the
quick connector at the
bottom of the Flow Cell.
The outer diameter of the
hose is Ø10.
c.Insert the steel wire
reinforced hose into the
elbow fitting on the side of
the Flow Cell and lock it
with a clamp. The inner
diameter of the hose is
Ø19.
d.Unscrew the fitting on the
top of the Flow Cell, insert
the PTFE water inlet tube
of the Ammonia analyzer,
and tighten to prevent the
water inlet tube from
moving.
a.After unpacking, remove
the plug on the front of the
Flow Cell and the quick
connector on the bottom.
b.Wrap PTFE tape around
the G1/2 to G1/2 externally
threaded stainless steel
double threaded straight
fitting, and screw it into the
threaded hole in the
bottom of the Flow Cell.
Wrap PTFE tape around
the G1/2 male threaded
plastic elbow fitting, and
screw it into the threaded
hole on the front of the
Flow Cell.
