Application
When measuring hydrocarbons with a FID,
hydrocarbon free burner air is necessary. The
M&C-burner air BA conditioning has been
developed in order to achieve proper burner
air supply, independent of gas cylinders.
The BA unit can also be used as a zero gas
generator when calibrating I.R.-analysers for
immission monitoring.
Description
The M&C-burner air conditioning versions
BA and BA-P4 have been designed as compact,
easy-to-use and easy-to-service 19 inch
modules.
The M&C burner air conditioning version BA is
designed without pump.
With version BA-P4 ambient air is taken in by
means of the integrated pendulum reciprocating
pump via the rear-mounted air suction
filter and is directed to particle and condensate
separation by means of a high-performance
filter (0.01 micron of filter fineness) with
an integrated, floating condensate drainer.
Drying the condensate-free compressed
air to <-10 °C dew point takes place in a
membrane dryer.
There upon the compressed air is cleaned
as a result of catalytic oxidation at 500 °C by
means of a platinum/palladium catalyst of
hydrocarbon traces.
A downstream adsorber cartridge with
molecular sieve and activated carbon guarantees
optimum purity of burner air.
The catalyst and adsorber material can, if
required, be replaced at the front without
tools.
