Gas analyzer: working principle, what to look for when choosing manufacturers + review

Gas analyzer - a device operably constructed on the principles of measurement of gaseous mixtures. In terms of performance, there are manual and automatic analyzers. By manual analyzers include absorption model, which uses absorption technology reagent gaseous medium.

Devices will automatically operate on the usual technology of constructing the physicochemical characteristics of the substance.

How does an automatic analyzer

Virtually all of the gaseous medium analysis devices that support automatic measurement, in terms of methodology are divided into three groups:

1. Analyzers of chemical reactions.
2. Analyzers of physical and chemical processes.
3. Analyzers of physical processes.

The first supported physical analysis methods performed using chemical reactions. Here, as a rule, the range of devices comprise volumetric-manometric and chemical devices.

With mobile device measures the volume or pressure of the gas mixture.

Analyzer - one of the many designs of such devices, which are widely used in various sectors of the economy. Such devices allow to conduct a comprehensive environmental monitoring

A second group of devices is also supported physical methodology, but complement physico-chemical process. Among these processes can take place:

• electrochemistry;
• thermal chemistry;
• Photocolorimeters;
• photoionization;
• chromatography.

Naturally, depending on the specific process, the result obtained in different ways. For example, electrochemistry, the concentration of the gas mixture, based on its electrical conductivity. Alternatively, by measuring the thermal impact catalytic oxidation reaction to give the degree of concentration of combustible gases.

EXAMPLE device supporting photoionization analysis technology. Model of a series of instruments "Kolion" belongs to the category of portable structures, characterized by ease of use and quality results issued

The third group of gas analyzers, based solely on physical procedure presented magnetic, optical, and other devices Densitometric. This group includes, for example, devices thermoconductometric analysis of gas mixtures by which a result obtained by measuring the degree of heat conduction material.

The basic principle of gas analyzers and apparatus enables analysis of multicomponent mixtures by measuring the level of concentration of one component present in the mixture.

Principles of classification of gas analyzers

All currently existing analyzing devices are classified on the basis of structural and technological parts. Classification characterized by the specific functionality of gas analysis instruments, for example, indicator and alarm may be something similar, but are classified as different gauges. The same should be with respect to leak detectors and gas analyzers.

Compact handy in use leak detector - structure having a direct relation to the analyzers gaseous medium. The use of such devices is relevant for industrial production of various conditions and domestic sphere

Classification of embodiment determines properties such as mobility and portability. Abilities devices measure a certain number of components are classified features a one-component or multicomponent device. Similarly, the number of measurement channels, where there is a classification for a single-channel or multichannel analyzers.

Finally, there is one criterion that shows the specific purpose of the device. For example, there are exhaust gas analyzers for monitoring of cars, and there are devices that control manufacturing processes.

The most common devices

The most common devices are members of the three mentioned groups are allocated optical and electrochemical design. Their appeal is due to the ability to measure production in the state of real-time. In this technologically devices supporting multi-analysis with the ability to save the results in the memory chip.

An example from the group of optical gas detectors - devices that have received the most widespread in the most diverse fields. Optical analyzers gaseous medium are highly accurate measurements

For industrial spheres such apparatus are an indispensable equipment. Especially where continuous monitoring of emissions or analysis processes. In such cases, the analyzers often appear as a continuous monitoring system of the industrial production process is used in environmental conditions studies.

To select for use in a domestic environment, these types of analyzers also preferred.

What is important to select the analyzer

Trying to make a choice, it is desirable to determine which task will be assigned to the unit. On the basis of the set objectives, it is easier to find the required equipment. Besides the money issue at the precise selection of equipment will be decided in favor of the buyer. The smaller sets of parts, the lower the cost.

Account when selecting usually subject to the following performance criteria:

• Supported gases;
• Boundary values ​​of concentrations of measurement;
• analysis capabilities and volumetric weight fraction;
• time of continuous operation;
• the possibility of conducting measurements at several points.

Of course, a role played by external performance during the equipment selection. The presence of the protective properties such as waterproof casing, blocking the penetration of dust and soot - all this is also important, if the count on the durability of the analyzer.

Mobile model gas analyzer, in addition to an attractive ease of use and even that is enclosed in a robust water-proof case. Dense of the housing also protects against ingress of dust

Given the saturation of the Russian market of gas analyzers foreign production, we have to choose from eye to adapt to domestic conditions. Clearly, if the information of the unit in a foreign language, to use such a device more difficult. However, you can still get used to over time.

Any working gas analyzer equipped with sensors (sensors). As the operation of these elements lose their properties to lose sensitivity and should be replaced. How frequent should be the replacement and what about the purchase of spare parts - it is also a matter of choice that requires careful approach. Finally, the warranty is not the last item, which should be addressed.
