2.4 About the gas analyzers

Endress+Hauser SS2100i-2 analyzers employ SpectraSensors tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) to

measure the concentration of single compounds in gas mixtures. The tunable diode laser (TDL) absorption

spectrometers in the SS2100i-2 operate in the near- to short-wavelength infrared. Each compact sensor consists of a

TDL laser light source, sample cell, and detector configured for high sensitivity measurement of a particular

component within the gas-phase constituents in the stream. The sensor is controlled by microprocessor-based

electronics with embedded software that incorporates advanced operational and data processing algorithms.

In its simplest form, a diode laser absorption spectrometer typically consists of a sample cell with a mirror at one end,

and a mirror or window at the opposite end, through which the laser beam can pass, as shown in the figure below.

The laser beam enters the cell and reflects off the mirror(s) making one or more trips through the sample gas and

eventually exiting the cell where the remaining beam intensity is measured by a detector. With the SS2100i-2

analyzers, sample gas flows continuously through the sample cell ensuring that the sample is always representative

of the flow in the main pipe.

4. Optical head 8. Far mirror

Due to their inherent structure, the molecules in the sample gas each have characteristic natural frequencies (or

resonances). When the output of the laser is tuned to one of those natural frequencies, the molecules with that

resonance will absorb energy from the incident beam. That is, as the beam of incident intensity, I0(λ), passes through

the sample, attenuation occurs via absorption by the trace gas with absorption cross section σ(λ). According to the

Beer-Lambert absorption law, the intensity remaining, I(λ), as measured by the detector at the end of the beam path

of length / (cell length x number of passes), is given by

()=()exp [()]

where N represents the species concentration. Thus, the ratio of the absorption measured when the laser is tuned on-

resonance versus off-resonance is directly proportional to the number of molecules of that species in the beam path,

Figure 3 below shows the typical raw data from a laser absorption spectrometer scan including the incident laser

intensity, I0(λ), and the transmitted intensity, I(l), for a clean system and one with contaminated mirrors (shown to

illustrate the system’s relative intensity to mirror contamination).

Fig 2. Typical raw signal from a laser diode absorption spectrometer with and without mirror contamination

A. Resonance absorption Blue line: raw signal, I (l)

B. Red line: incident energy I0(l) Green line: raw signal, I (l) (contaminated mirrors)

The positive slope of raw data results from ramping the current to tune the laser, which not only increases the

wavelength with current, but also causes the corresponding output power to increase. By normalizing the signal by

the incident intensity, any laser output fluctuations are canceled, and a typical, yet more pronounced, absorption

profile results, as shown in figure 4 below.

Fig 3. Typical normalized signal from a laser diode absorption spectrometer

Contamination of the mirrors results solely in lower overall signal. However, by tuning the laser off-resonance as

well as on-resonance and normalizing the data, the technique self-calibrates every scan resulting in measurements

that are unaffected by mirror contamination.

2.4.1 Differential TDLAS

SpectraSensors differential TDLAS technology involves subtracting two spectrums from one another. A “dry”

spectrum, a response from the sample when the analyte of interest has been completely removed, is subtracted from

the “wet” spectrum, a response from the sample when the analyte is present. The remainder is a spectrum of the

pure analyte. This technology is used for very low or trace measurements and is also useful when the background

matrix changes over time.

2.4.2 Wavelength modulation spectroscopy (WMS) signal detection

Endress+Hauser takes the fundamental absorption spectroscopy concept a step further by using a sophisticated

signal detection technique called wavelength modulation spectroscopy (WMS). When employing WMS, the laser

drive current is modulated with a kHz sine wave as the laser is rapidly tuned. A lock-in amplifier is then used to

detect the harmonic component of the signal that is at twice the modulation frequency (2f). Refer to the figure

below, which is shown in arbitrary units (a.u.). This phase-sensitive detection enables the filtering of low-frequency

noise caused by turbulence in the sample gas, temperature and/or pressure fluctuations, low-frequency noise in the

laser beam or thermal noise in the detector.

Fig 4. Typical normalized 2f signal showing species concentration proportional to height.

A. 2f peak height

B. Normalized 2f signal

With the resulting low-noise signal and use of fast post-processing algorithms, reliable parts per million (ppm) or

parts per billion (ppb) detection levels are possible (depending on target and background species) at real-time

response rates.

All Endress+Hauser TDLAS gas analyzers employ the same design and hardware platform. Measuring different trace

gases in various mixed hydrocarbon background streams is accomplished by selecting a different optimum diode

laser wavelength between 700-3000 nm, which provides the least amount of sensitivity to background stream

variations.

2.4.3 Sample conditioning system

The analyzer may be integrated with a sample conditioning system (SCS) designed to meet the sample condition

requirements for the analyzer while preserving sample integrity and minimizing lag time. Refer to the SCS Operating

Instruction for more information.

2.4.4 Determining firmware version

When the analyzer is powered on for the first time, the firmware version will display on the system LCD display for

approximately seven seconds. Refer to Powering Up the Analyzer in the Description of Device Parameters →  for this

In the electronics enclosure, the analyzer power supply provides power to the analyzer control electronics and relays

controlling valves. The analyzer control electronics drive the laser, collect the signal and analyze the spectra.

Powered relays control valves while unpowered relays serve as alarm contacts. An AC line filter is used to condition

the input power.

The auxiliary switch-mode power supply provides power to the heater temperature controller and the RS-232/RS-

485 converter. The power supply is rated for 1.3 A at 24VDC output at ambient temperatures Ta ≤ 60 °C. The

operational state is indicated by LEDs on the front face, where green means the output voltage is on and within

specification, and red means the output voltage is on but below specification.

The thermostat prevents the temperature inside the enclosure from getting too hot. The thermostat is preset at the

factory to open the power circuit if the temperature inside the analyzer enclosure exceeds 70 ± 4 °C. The power

Operating Instructions SS2100i-2 TDLAS Gas Analyzer

circuit will remain open until the manual reset button (located between the two wire terminals) on the thermostat is

pressed or the temperature drops approximately 30% below the set-point.

A DIN rail near the bottom holds fuse terminal blocks, the main breaker, and terminal blocks for all external

connections. The temperature controller controls the heater in the sample cell enclosure via the solid-state relay.

NOTICE

 See Figure 7→ for locating fuses. If you need to replace a fuse, use only the same type and rating of fuse as the

original as listed in the tables below.

In the sample cell enclosure, the sample cell is the actual TDLAS spectrometer through which the gas sample flows.

The sample cell is equipped with a pressure sensor and thermistor to monitor the thermodynamic conditions of the

sample. The heater maintains the inside of the analyzer enclosure at a constant temperature with air circulated by

the fan.
