Various outputs include ethernet and RS232
User friendly interface with large screen
Continuous system diagnosis with alarm
Multi-tasking software allows viewing test variables while operating
Temperature and pressure compensation
Internal data logging with 1 min to 365 day multiple averages
Critical orifices provide flow stability
Principle
AQMS-500 measures the intensity of the characteristic fluorescence released by SO2 in an ambient air sample contained in the gas chamber when the air sample is irradiated by ultraviolet
light passed through the chamber.
UV source
The pulsing of the UV source lamp serves to increase the optical intensity whereby a greater UV energy throughput and lower detectable concentration are realized.
Removal of interferences
The permeation scrubber acting as hydrocarbon kicker removes aromatic hydrocarbon such as xylene and naphthalene which causes interference.
Optical filtering are employed to improve the rejection of interference from high nitrogen oxides.
Data storage and analysis
Stored data are easily retrievable through the serial or ethernet port via PC client software, allowing operators to perform predictive diagnostics and enhanced data analysis by tracking parameter trends.
