AZ40

The AZ40 oxygen and combustibles analyzer continuously samples and analyses combustion waste gases to determine the levels of excess oxygen and unburned fuel (also known as combustibles and determined by measuring the carbon monoxide equivalent (COe)). Accurate measurement of both oxygen and COe is important for the safe, reliable and efficient operation of industrial combustion plant.

Close-coupled sample system

The sensor assembly is mounted on the process wall with the probe and filter assembly extending into the process gas stream. The sample is extracted from the process and fed through the sensor head using an air-powered ejector.

Oxygen analysis is made by an industry-standard zirconium oxide cell.

Carefully metered dilution air is added before unburned combustibles are measured by a high-sensitivity catalytic sensor calibrated for COe. The dilution air ensures a sufficient supply of oxygen to enable the COe sensor to function during abnormal process conditions when www.abb-drive.com very low combustion oxygen levels can occur.

The close-coupled extractive system enables careful temperature and pressure control of the sensors and sample gas. This provides a stable background for target gas measurement to enhance its accuracy.

Operational safety is ensured by the inclusion of a flame arrester in the sample path to prevent flash-back if the process gas combustible level exceeds the lower explosive

limit (LEL) during start-up, shutdown, or process disturbance.

The sample path is maintained at high temperature to prevent acid gas condensation and corrosion.

Close Coupled Sampling System

The sensor assembly is mounted on the process wall and the probe and filter assembly extends into the process gas stream. A pneumatic injector is used to draw a sample from the process stream and feed it to the sensor head.

Oxygen analysis is performed by an industry standard zirconia cell.

Carefully metered dilution air is added and then calibrated for COe before the high sensitivity catalytic sensor is used to measure unburned combustibles.

The dilution air ensures a sufficient supply of oxygen to allow the COe sensor to function properly under abnormal process conditions where extremely low combustion oxygen levels may occur.

The tightly coupled extraction system enables tight temperature and pressure control of the sensor and sample gas.

This provides a stable background for target gas measurements, which improves the accuracy of the measurements.

Flame arrestors are installed in the sampling path to prevent flashbacks during startup when the combustible content of the process gas exceeds the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL), thus ensuring safe operation.

Flashback is prevented if the combustible content of the process gas exceeds the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) during startup, shutdown, or process disturbances.

The sampling channel is kept hot to prevent acid gas condensation and corrosion.

Introduction

The Endura AZ20 is the latest in a long line of high-quality, combustion gas analyzers from ABB.

The sensor, based on a zirconium oxide cell, is mounted at the tip of the probe that is inserted in the flue duct. The resulting direct, in situ measurement provides accurate and rapid oxygen reading for combustion control optimization and emissions monitoring.

Probe Lengths up to 4.0 m (13.1 ft.)

A wide range of probe insertion lengths from 0.5 to 4.0 m (1.7 to 13.1 ft.) enable installation to the optimum measuring point for accurate oxygen measurement within the duct; even in the largest flue gas ducts and stacks.

A comprehensive range of mounting flanges provide simple installation when plant-wide standard flanges are required or when replacing existing probes.

The transmitter can be probe- or remote-mounted at distances of up to 100 m (328 ft.), thus providing versatile system options for all applications. The probe-mounted transmitter option provides the lowest cost of installation. However, the remote-mounted transmitter provides flexibility when the operationally ideal probe location does not provide easy access for the user.

Advanced Design

Designed and manufactured to exacting standards, the Endura AZ20 ensures long periods of trouble-free operation in even the most arduous of applications.

The operating process temperature of up to 800 °C (1472 °F) extends system suitability into previously impossible applications and enables optimum probe location within the process.

The modular design, with reduced component count, improves the robustness and reliability of the system and simplifies routine maintenance and servicing.

Complete traceability ensures only the highest quality materials are used in the analyzer’s construction and rigorous manufacturing, inspection and testing procedures (to international standard ISO 9001) result in a monitor of superior quality with prolonged probe life.

Easy Cell Release

The Endura AZ20 probe has retained the easy-access cell arrangement of the previous generation ZFG2 probes. Cell replacement can be performed on-site using basic hand tools; even after long periods of high temperature operation where screw threads have ‘seized’ and can no longer be released.

Kits containing all the parts needed to complete maintenance are available from ABB to ensure a technician can perform services quickly, efficiently and at minimum cost.

Proven Cell Design

ABB’s metallurgically bonded, multi-layer electrode technology increases the cell’s resistance to sulphurous and reducing atmospheres and high temperature operation. This extends the life-cycle of the cell in the most arduous applications such as sulphur recovery processes, crematoria and industrial/clinical waste incineration.
