1. Overview
Zirconia oxygen analyzers are used in combustion facilities to measure the flue gas oxygen
concentration. Boiler operators use the oxygen measurement to optimize fuel usage, minimize
atmospheric emissions and reduce energy consumption.
A multiple point oxygen measurement system may be required for situations when gas stratification
in the flue duct affects combustion control. The AV550G Averaging Converter can accept inputs from
up to eight zirconia oxygen detectors. It sends output signals for the individual as well as averages of
multiple oxygen concentrations. A robust multipoint converter reduces installation and maintenance
costs.
A large 5.7-inch color LCD display shows various measurement, setup, calibration, and trend screens.
Its intuitive touch screen is easy to read and makes set up and maintenance simple. Other standard
features include new self-diagnostics and a hot swap function that allows a desired probe to be
disconnected/reconnected for inspection or maintenance just by turning off the power of the relevant
channel.
The ZR22G separate type detector uses a highly reliable zirconia sensor and its heater assembly
can be replaced in the field. The in situ probe is mounted on the duct wall and directly measures
the oxygen concentration of a sample gas at a temperature of up to 700°C. For higher temperature
applications up to 1400°C, the ZO21P High Temperature Probe Adapter is available for use in
conjunction with a 0.15 m ZR22G general-purpose detector.
The averaging converter system is ideal for combustion control in large utility boilers or various
industrial furnaces.
This chapter explains system configurations with some typical examples.
1.1 System Configuration
The AV550G Zirconia Oxygen Analyzer Averaging Converter system can be configured by selecting
detectors and an averaging converter that meet the individual requirements and flow setting units for
calibration.
Subsection 1.1.1 presents a typical system configuration using flow setting units for manual
calibration. A typical system configuration to perform automatic calibration is provided in Subsection
1.1.2.
1.1.1 System Configuration Using Flow Setting Units for Manual Calibration
This system consists of detectors, an averaging converter, and flow setting units (Model ZA8F), as
shown in Figure 1.1. Note that the ZA8F Flow Setting Units are required as many as the detectors
connected to the averaging converter.
A reference gas needs to be supplied at a constant flow rate to the detectors. This reference gas
must be clean, dry air having a constant percentage of oxygen. Typically, instrument air that has been
dehumidified down to a dew point of approximately -20°C and is free from oil mist or dust, is used as
the air source. This air is also used as a span gas for the detectors during calibration. A zero gas for
calibration is supplied from a cylinder to the detectors.
