Compressed Gas Association

1235 Jefferson Davis Highway

Arlington, Virginia 22202

Used by Permission

1. Never drop cylinders or permit them to strike each other violently.

2. Cylinders may be stored in the open, but in such cases, should be protected against extremes of

weather and, to prevent rusting, from the dampness of the ground. Cylinders should be stored in the

shade when located in areas where extreme temperatures are prevalent.

3. The valve protection cap should be left on each cylinder until it has been secured against a wall or

bench, or placed in a cylinder stand, and is ready to be used.

4. Avoid dragging, rolling, or sliding cylinders, even for a short distance; they should be moved by using a

suitable hand-truck.

5. Never tamper with safety devices in valves or cylinders.

6. Do not store full and empty cylinders together. Serious suck back can occur when an empty cylinder is

attached to a pressurized system.

7. No part of cylinder should be subjected to a temperature higher than 125

F (52

C). A flame should

never be permitted to come in contact with any part of a compressed gas cylinder.

8. Do not place cylinders where they may become part of an electric circuit. When electric arc welding,

precautions must be taken to prevent striking an arc against the cylinder.

SECTION 1

DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATIONS

1-1 OVERVIEW

This manual describes the CAT 100 Continu-

ous Analyzer Transmitter.

The CAT 100 is a 1 or 2 channel Continuous

Gas Analyzer with FOUNDATION Fieldbus

communications. Its Class I, Zone I (IIB) + H

approved enclosure makes it suitable for in-

stallation in hazardous environments. The

field mountable housing design allows the

CAT 100 to be mounted close to the process

instead of in a remote shelter. This feature

greatly reduces installation and utility costs

while improving process efficiency.

The CAT 100 can continuously measure 1 or

2 components in a single analyzer using a

combination of Non Dispersive Infrared

(NDIR), Paramagnetic Oxygen, Thermal Con-

ductivity, and Electrochemical sensors. The

CAT 100 also features an optional customized

sample-handling module.

1-2 TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

The CAT 100 Continuous Analyzer Transmit-

ter supports a variety of industry applications,

drawing on more than 40 years of develop-

ment and process expertise in sensors, digital

signal processing and software technologies.

The CAT 100 can satisfy the most demanding

single or multi-component analysis require-

ments. More than 60 gas components can be

measured including:

Carbon Monoxide (CO) Carbon Dioxide (CO

) Methane (CH

)

Hexane (CH equiv.) (C

) Water Vapor (H

O) Oxygen (O

)

Hydrogen (H

Model CAT 100

1-3 DETECTOR METHODOLOGIES

The CAT 100 can employ up to two of four dif-

ferent measuring methods depending on the

configuration chosen. The methods are:

NDIR, Paramagnetic O

, Electrochemical O

and Thermal Conductivity.

a. Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR)

The non-dispersive infrared method is

based on the principle of absorption of in-

frared radiation by the sample gas being

measured. The gas-specific wavelengths

of the absorption bands characterize the

type of gas while the strength of the ab-

sorption gives a measure of the concen-

tration of the gas component being

measured.

An optical bench is employed comprising

an infrared light source, two analysis cells

(reference and measurement), a chopper

wheel to alternate the radiation intensity

between the reference and measurement

side, and a photometer detector. The de-

tector signal thus alternates between con-

centration dependent and concentration

independent values. The difference be-

tween the two is a reliable measure of the

concentration of the absorbing gas com-

ponent.

Depending on the gas being measured

and its concentration, one of two different

measuring methods may be used as fol-

lows:

Interference Filter Correlation (IFC)

With the IFC method the analysis cell is

alternately illuminated with filtered infrared

concentrated in one of two spectrally

separated wavelength ranges. One of

these two wavelength bands is chosen to

coincide with an absorption band of the

sample gas and the other is chosen such

that none of the gas constituents ex-

pected to be encountered in practice ab-

sorbs anywhere within the band.

The spectral transmittance curves of the

interference filters used in the CAT 100

analyzer and the spectral absorption of

the gases CO and CO

are shown in

Figure 1-1 (page 1-3). It can be seen that

the absorption bands of these gases each

coincide with the pass bands of one of the

interference filters. The forth interference

filter, used for generating a reference sig-

nal, has its pass band in a spectral region

where none of these gases absorb. Most

of the other gases of interest also do not

absorb within the pass band of this refer-

ence filter.

The signal generation is accomplished

with a pyroelectrical (solid-state) detector.

The detector records the incoming infra-

red radiation. This radiation is reduced by

the absorption of the gas at the corre-

sponding wavelengths. By comparing the

measurement and reference wavelength,

an alternating voltage signal is produced.

This signal results from the cooling and

heating of the pyroelectric detector mate-

rial.

Opto-Pneumatic Method

In the opto-pneumatic method, a thermal

radiator generates the infrared radiation

which passes through the chopper wheel.

This radiation alternately passes through

the filter cell and reaches the measuring

and reference side of the analysis cell

with equal intensity. After passing another

filter cell, the radiation reaches the pneu-

matic detector.

The pneumatic detector compares and

evaluates the radiation from the measur-

ing and reference sides of the analysis

cell and converts them into voltage sig-

nals proportional to their respective inten-

sity.

The pneumatic detector consists of a gas-

filled absorption chamber and a compen-

sation chamber which are connected by a

flow channel in which a Microflow filament

sensor is mounted. This is shown Figure

1-2.

In principle the detector is filled with the

infrared active gas to be measured and is

only sensitive to this distinct gas with its

characteristic absorption spectrum. The

absorption chamber is sealed with a win-

dow which is transparent for infrared ra-

diation. The window is usually Calcium

Fluoride (CaF

When the infrared radiation passes

through the reference side of the analysis

cell into the detector, no pre-absorption

occurs. Thus, the gas inside the absorp-

tion chamber is heated, expands and

some of it passes through the flow chan-

nel into the compensation chamber.

When the infrared radiation passes

through the open measurement side of

the analysis cell into the detector, a part

of it is absorbed depending on the gas

concentration. The gas in the absorption

chamber is, therefore, heated less than in

the case of radiation coming from the ref-

erence side. Absorption chamber gas be-

comes cooler, gas pressure in the

absorption chamber is reduced and some

gas from the compensation chamber

passes through the flow channel into the

absorption chamber.

The flow channel geometry is designed in

such a way that it hardly impedes the gas

flow by restriction. Due to the radiation of

the chopper wheel, the different radiation

intensities lead to periodically repeated

flow pulses within the detector.

The Microflow sensor evaluates these

flow pulses and converts them into elec-

trical pulses which are processed into the

corresponding analyzer output.

Overall NDIR Method

In the case of dual-channel analyzers, the

broadband emission from two infrared

sources pass through the chopper wheel.

In the case of the Interference Filter Cor-

relation (IFC) method, the infrared radia-

tion then passes through combinations of

interference filters. In the case of the

opto-pneumatic method, the infrared ra-

diation passes through an optical filter

depending on the application and need for

reduction of influences. Then the infrared

radiation enters the analysis cells from

which it is focused by filter cells onto the

corresponding detector. The preamplifier

detector output signal is then converted

into the analytical results expressed di-

rectly in the appropriate physical concen-

tration units such as percent volume,

ppm, mg/Nm

, etc. This is shown in

Figure 1-3 (page 1-5).

b. Paramagnetic Oxygen Method

The paramagnetic principle refers to the

induction of a weak magnetic field, paral-

lel and proportional to the intensity of a

stronger magnetizing field.

The paramagnetic method of determina-

tion of oxygen concentration utilizes nitro-

gen filled quartz spheres arranged at

opposite ends of a bar, the center of

which is suspended by and free to rotate

on a thin platinum wire ribbon in a cell. Ni-

trogen (N

) is used because it is diamag-

netic or repelled by a magnet.

A small mirror that reflects a light beam

coming from a light source to a photo de-

tector, is mounted on the platinum ribbon.

A strong permanent magnet specifically

shaped to produce a strong, highly inho-

mogeneous magnetic field inside the

analysis cell, is mounted outside the wall

of the cell.

When oxygen molecules enter the cell,

their paramagnetism will cause them to

be drawn towards the region of greatest

magnetic field strength. The oxygen

molecules thus exert different forces on

the two suspended nitrogen filled quartz

spheres, producing a torque which

causes the mirror to rotate away from its

equilibrium position.

The rotated mirror deflects the incident

light onto the photo detector creating an

electrical signal which is amplified and fed

back to a coil attached to the bar holding

the quartz spheres, forcing the suspended

spheres back to the equilibrium position.

The current required to generate the re-

storing torque to return the quartz bar to

its equilibrium position is a direct measure

of the O

concentration in the sample gas.

The complete paramagnetic analysis cell

consists of an analysis chamber, perma-

nent magnet, processing electronics, and

a temperature sensor. The temperature

sensor is used to control a heat ex-

changer to warm the measuring gas to

about 55

C. Refer to Figure 1-4 (page 1-

6).
