6801

Zirconia Flue Gas Analyser

 

Designed to measure Oxygen in flue gas for combustion efficiency and fuel saving. Ideal for measurements in post combustion chamber at high temperature typical of incinerators, cremators, heating furnaces, soaking pits and annealing furnaces.

Measureable Gas

Oxygen [O2]

Main Features

Extreme Roughness

  • Wetted parts in ceramic materials (Zirconia and pure alumina)
  • Resistant to corrosion by acid & aggressive substances, to abrasion and to the alternation of oxidant and reducing conditions
  • External flanged installation & protection tube (option) warranty extra protection in case of huge dust amount in the process

 

Easy to Use

  • Direct insertion into the chimney or post-combustion chamber.
  • Integral thermocouple
  • Possibility to verify the calibration without removing the probe from process
  • Calibration (with air flowing) simply pushing one button on ADV222 control unit

 

Low Costs of Ownership

  • Really in situ measurement
  • No sampling system required
  • Sensor on the tip and no gas circulation

 

European Compliance

Measuring Principle

 

The measuring principle on which the analysis is based is linked to the use of Zirconium Oxide which, at high temperatures, can behave like a solid state electrolyte, developing an electromotive force (E.M.F.) on two electrodes placed in contact with different O2 concentrations (partial pressures), proportional to the temperature in Kelvin degrees (°K) and to the logarithm of the ratio between the two pressures PO2’ and PO2” in accordance with Nernst’s well-known ratio:

 

E = RT / nF (ln P02’ / P02“)

 

Where:           R = Perfect gas constant (8,31 Joule/degree bulk)

                       F = Faraday’s constant

                       T = Absolute temperature in °Kelvin

                       n = 4
