Measuring system
Measuring principle
The Analyzer module DEFOR uses the fact that some gases have a
specific absorption
characteristic in the ultraviolet light range. For this purpose, UV
light is radiated through the
sample gas. The concentration of a gas component in a gas mixture
can be determined
through suitable selection of the light wavelength and selective
absorption measurement.
The Analyzer module DEFOR can, in this way, analyze the
concentration of the gases Cl2,
H2S, NO, NO2, NH3, SO2 and further gases.
The Analyzer module DEFOR can simultaneously measure up to 3 gas
components.
Measuring method
● The Analyzer module DEFOR uses interference filter correlation
(IFC) for most gas com-
ponents. Measuring and reference radiation are created alternately
by swiveling two dif-
ferent interference filters into the beam path (filter wheel [2a]).
● Gas filter correlation (UVRAS) is used for NO. This method
creates the reference radia-
tion by swiveling a gas filter filled with the relevant gas into
the beam path (filter wheel
[2b]).
● Both measuring methods are combined for joint measurement of NO
and other gases
(both filter wheels [2a]+[2b] are used).
● The physical state of the measuring system is captured and
compensated using a refer-
ence beam path through a reference cuvette.
Analyzer module layout
–Beam source is a special UV gas discharge lamp that emits both
broad-
band as well as NO-specific radiation components.
–Thermostat-controlled filter wheel unit keeps the optic filters at
a constant tempera-
ture. This minimizes the influence of external temperature changes.
–Lenses , beam splitter and mirror direct the beam path.
–Sample gas flows through sample cuvette. Reference cuvette is
either filled with
a neutral gas or has span gas flowing through (option).
–Detectors capture the radiation intensity created with the various
filters.
–Measurement signals are amplified electronically and digitally
evaluated. The structure
symmetry compensates proportional and symmetric signal drifts in
the best possible
way.
–The measuring system can be fitted with an adjustment unit
