Selecting the Location
It is important that the conditions at the point of installation represent
well the gas to be measured. All leaks in the system must be eliminated
to avoid ambient humidity affecting the measurement.
Direct installation to the measured gas is the recommended installation
method if the temperature of the gas is suitable for DPT146 and no
additional filtering is needed due to very dusty or oily gas. Pressure at the
measurement point should be within 1 ... 10 bar (14.5 ... 145 psi). The
maximum pressure tolerance of the transmitter is 50 bar (725 psi).
If the gas temperature is higher than the specified maximum operating
temperature of the transmitter, gas sampling and cooling it to ambient
temperature (for example, 20 °C / 68 °F) is recommended. Note that the
dewpoint temperature must be clearly lower than the ambient
temperature to avoid condensation in the sampling line. Sampling from
the process is easy by using Vaisala sampling cell options; see section
Sampling Accessories on page 27.
DPT146 is light in weight, which means that it can be installed in a
sample pipeline in the sampling cells without the need of any additional
mechanical support.
Installing the Transmitter
After selecting a suitable measurement location, follow the procedure
below to install the transmitter:
1.
Remove the yellow transport protection cap from the transmitter.
