Physical principles

Measurement • NDIR technique


principle (Nondispersive infrared analysis)
• The measurement effect is based on resonance absorption of gas-specific
vibration-rotation bands of differing atom gas molecules in the median infrared
spectrum at wavelengths between 2.5 and 8 µm.

• The individual gases to be measured are identified by their specific absorption


bands. Each gas has such an absorption spectrum (fingerprint).
Exceptions:
- Monoatomic gases, such as inert gases
- Symmetrical gases, such as N2, O2 and H2
- These types of gases cannot be measured with this method.
• The relationship between measured infrared radiation absorption and the
measurement component is based on the LAMBERT-BEER law:

A = (I0 - I1) / I0 = 1 - e -ε(λ)⋅ρ⋅l

where
A = Absorption
I0 = Radiation entering the cell
I1 = Radiation leaving the cell
ε(λ) = Sample component extinction factor
ρ = Sample component density
l = Sample cell length

The relationship between sample component density ρ and its volumetric


concentration c is
ρ = ρ0 ⋅ c ⋅ p/p0 ⋅ T0/T

where
ρ0 = Pure gas density
p0 = Pressure
T0 = Temperature
under standard conditions (1013 hPa, 0°C).

The second equation shows that the sample component's volumetric


concentration depends on the sample cell pressure and temperature.
The first equation finds a non-linear relationship between absorption and
volumetric concentration.

Basic design • The Uras 14 analyzer module is a twin-beam NDIR process photometer with no
dispersive elements.
The module consists of a completely self-contained optical unit with the
following elements:
• Infrared source (emitter)
• Aperture wheel (chopper)
• Emitter aperture
• Sample cell with measurement and reference chambers
• Infrared detector with diaphragm capacitor (receiver)

Physical principles, Fortsetzung

IR radiation • Generated by broad-band emitter


• Emitted as a beam package alternately in the form of a sample and reference
beam through the sample and reference chambers of the sample cell and is
partially absorbed by the sample component molecules
• Counterphase modulation by means of a motorized aperture wheel
• Both modulated beam packages appear alternately at the infrared detector

Apertures • Created by applicable regulation of the sample and reference beam balance

Sample cell • Depending on the application, the sample chamber receives a sample, zero-point
or end-point gas flow so that a part of the infrared radiation is absorbed in a
concentration-dependent manner
˝
• The radiation passes unhindered if the reference chamber is filled with a gas that
does not absorb infrared (N2).

Infrared detector • A two-part transmission detector with front and rear chambers filled with the gas
components to be measured, with selectivity being determined by the infrared
detector. The two chambers are separated by an infrared-transparent window.
Additionally, the two chambers are separated by a stressed metal membrane with
counterelectrodes. This unit is known as the diaphragm capacitor.
• It reacts in the following manner in the presence of the sample component:
• IR radiation is weakened in the sample cell's sample chamber and enters the
receiver's front chamber.
• The equilibrium between the sample and reference beams initially established
by calibration and the aperture is now disturbed.
• There is an energy difference (temperature change) in the form of reduced
pressure in the front chamber.
• This pressure reduction is transformed into a capacitance change in the
membrane capacitor by deflecting the metal diaphragm.
• Since the diaphragm capacitor is connected to a high-impedance DC voltage, a
corresponding periodic AC signal is generated.

Determination of influence values

Associated gas The sample gas is a mixture of the sample component(s) and associated gas
effects components. If the infrared absorption bands of one or more associated gas
components overlap the sample component’s bands, the sample results will be
affected.
The influence of interfering gas components is termed cross sensitivity or carrier
gas dependence.
Cross sensitivity is determined by connecting an inert gas (e.g. N2) which is mixed
with the interfering gas components (corresponding to the sample gas).
The influence acts on the zero-point measurement value indication.
Carrier gas dependence, which is rarely observed. Occurs when the physical
properties of the sample gas differ markedly from those of the sample gas. This
interference changes the slope of the device’s characteristic curve. This curve is
corrected at the end-point.
The Uras 14 has the following methods available for interference correction:
• Interference filter
• Filter cells
• Internal electronic cross-sensitivity correction
• Internal electronic carrier gas correction

Pressure In accordance with the gas laws, the sample cell’s volumetric concentration
depends on the pressure in the sample cell and is thus dependent on the process
gas and air pressure. This effect acts on the end-point and amounts to approx. 1%
of the measurement value per 1% of pressure change (therefore, per 10 hPa).
An internal pressure sensor reduces this effect to 0.2%.

Flow rate The flow rate affects pressure in the sample cell and the module’s T90times.
The flow rate should be between 20 and 100 liters/hour.

Temperature Temperature has a markedly different effect on all optical components in the beam
path. This effect is reduced by:
either:
• Temperature compensation
A temperature sensor in the first infrared detector’s preamplifier measures the
temperature in the module.
This signal is used for electronic correction.
Zero-point effect: ≤ 1% of span per 10°C
End-point effect: ≤ 3% of measurement value per 10°C
or
• Thermostat (optional)
The temperature influence is further reduced by controlled heating of the optical
components to 55°C.
Zero-point effect: ≤ 1% of span per 10°C
End-point effect: ≤ 1% of measurement value per 10°C

Emitter

Location in Module The emitter inserts are attached to the modulator receiver disk (aluminum block).
Depending on the measurement task, one or two emitter inserts can be installed.
If only one emitter insert is used, it can be placed in the first or second beam path
depending on the requirements of the measurement application.

Structure The emitter insert consists of a reflective body which houses a wire filament in a
ceramic shell. The unit is sealed behind a gas-tight, infrared-transparent window.
To increase its service life the emitter insert is filled with a special gas.

Function Depending on module equipment, sample components and measurement ranges,


the emitter units are supplied with approx. 5-10 VDC.
The filament then emits a broadband constant infrared light beam of corresponding
intensity.

Modulator

Location in module The modulator is attached to the main frame.

Structure The modulator consists of:


• Receiver disk
• 1 to 2 emitter inserts
• Aperture wheel
• Synchronous motor to drive the aperture wheel
• Coupling between synchronous motor and aperture wheel
• Circuit board with
• Emitter power supply connections
• Synchronous motor connection
• Split light barrier
• O rings to seal the emitter units and the entire modulator

Function The computer-controlled synchronous motor drives the aperture wheel.


Modulation frequencG: 7.3 Hz (standard setting).
The aperture wheel is designed to alternately cover the test and reference
chambers in the sample cell so that the infrared light from the emitters passes
alternately through each chamber twice per revolution.
The IR detector signal arrangement is assured by the split light barrier and a flag
fastened to the aperture wheel drive shaft.
This design solution creates modulated light which results in a highly stable
measurement signal.

Apertures

Location in module The apertures and their adjustment screws are located on the main frame between
the modulator and sample cells.

Structure The main frame always has two apertures installed and these are moved back and
forth horizontally by a screw-type drive mechanism.
They are shown in a inset to the cross section of the sample cells installed in the
sample and reference chambers.

Function The apertures act as a shutter for the infrared emitter signal according to the
setting provided for the sample or reference beam.
Goal Equal intensity for both infrared detector beams during the basic adjustment.
Asymmetry is caused by design factors or sample gas characteristics.
Alignment is accomplished with the "optical alignment" function.

Sample cell

Location in module The sample cell is installed between the main frame with modulator and the
infrared detector or calibration unit.

Structure The cell consists of an aluminum tube available in two versions:


• chemically polished
• and gold plated.
A land divides the cell into a sample chamber and a reference chamber. The
chambers are sealed with infrared-transparent windows on both sides. The
reference chamber is normally filled with N2. The sample chamber can receive a
flow of sample gases via two gas ports. The gas ports are designed for stainless
steel or plastic tubing connections. Positioning pins secure the sample cell in the
beam path. For design reasons, with small cell lengths there are additional
chambers in the sample cell sample and reference beam paths. These are filled
with N2.

Function Cell length differs according to the measurement range involved.


Since the infrared detectors are supplied for each component with a fixed signal
yield value, according to the LAMBERT-BEER law, an optimal absorption setting
must be established in the sample cell for the measurement range scale selected.
Infrared radiation absorption depends on the concentration to be measured
(measurement range) and the optical path length.
The optical path length is the distance between the two limiting windows in the
sample and reference chamber.
The two surface treatment options (chemically polished and gold-plated) have the
following functions:
• Optimal beam reflection
• Protection against corrosion of the cell
• Chemically polished cells provide high signal stability, especially when measuring
flue gases
Reflective characteristics are considered and equalized during the optical
alignment and calibration.
For specific applications there are special sample cells:
• Sample cells with flowing reference gas
Here the reference chamber receives a flow of gas (e.g. sample gas without the
sample component).
Result: Absorption in the sample and reference chamber of that portion of the
beam in the interference gas absorption lines. This eliminate the cross-sensitivity
effect.
∆-measurements represent another application.
• Sample cell with integrated filter cell (sample/filter cell)
Here, both filter chambers (sample and reference sides) are filled with the
interference gas component.
Here the portion of the beam in the interference gas line range is absorbed in
order to suppress the interference gas effect (cross-sensitivity).

Filter cell

Location in module The filter cell is installed between the sample cell and infrared detector or between
the sample cell and calibration cell.

Structure The filter cell consists of a gold-plated tube.


A land divides the cell into a sample chamber and a reference chamber; there is a
gas link between the two.
The filter cell sealed with infrared-transparent windows on both sides.
Two positioning pins secure the filter cell in the beam path.

Function The sample and reference sides are individually filled with the applicable
interference gas.
This causes absorption of the portion of the beam in the range of the interference
gas absorption lines.
Result: A sharp reduction in cross sensitivity.

Versions For various applications there are various versions of the filter cell, as shown
below:

Optical filter

Location in module Depending on the module layout and measurement task, the optical filters are
located at the following points:
• Between the sample cell and infrared detector
• Between two infrared detectors
• Between the calibration unit and infrared detector

Structure The optical filter (interference filter) consists of two silicon disks which are
metallically loaded to achieve the desired property.
The filter is fastened in a metal housing.
The housings are different for the various installation locations mentioned above.

Function By installing interference filters, emission ranges in overlapping sector of the


sample and interference bands are tuned out. This means that, depending on the
its type, the filter only allows the passage of emissions in a specific wavelength
range.
For reasons of symmetry the filter operates on the sample and reference sides of
the beam path.
Filter use depends on the following limiting conditions:
The combination of gas components in the sample gas
Component concentrations
Measurement ranges
Filters are primarily used for the SO2, NO, N2O, and CnHm sample components.

Calibration unit

Location in module The calibration unit is an installable option.


It is inserted between the sample cell and infrared detector.

Structure The calibration unit is a motorized shifting device for the calibration cells.
A small drive motor with a drive pin moves the slide on which the calibration cell is
mounted.
Small permanent magnets are used to improve calibration cell positioning and
attachment.
An attachment using two U mounts makes it possible to have a difference in width
between the versions with and without optical filters.

Calibration cell

Location in module The calibration cell is a option to be mounted in the calibration unit.
A calibration cell can be installed in each beam path.

Structure The calibration cell housing consists of a gold-plated metal frame with four
chambers that are sealed gas-tight by means of infrared-transparent windows.
Three chambers are filled with nitrogen.
One chamber is filled with the required test gas mixture.

Function The calibration cell is used to calibrate span.


There can be one calibration cell per beam path.
If there are two infrared detectors in the beam path the calibration cell has a mixed
fill.
Calibration cell gas fill can be compared with a test gas flask.
The concentration stamped on the calibration cell is the fill concentration. This is
not the calibration concentration for the Uras 14. It must be determined with a test
gas.

Infrared detector

Location in module The infrared detector is placed at the end of the sample cell.
Depending on the application, there can be from 1 to 4 detectors installed.
A maximum of 2 detectors are possible per beam path.

Structure The infrared detector consists of the following components:


• An optopneumatic portion consisting of two chambers, one located behind the
other, separated by an infrared-transparent window.
The chambers are filled with a gas that corresponds to the sample component
involved.
In the part not affected by the beam there is a membrane capacitor consisting of
a metal membrane sealed in a gas-tight manner between the two chamber
portions and a fixed counter electrode. Both components are linked to the
preamplifier via gas-tight openings.
• The preamplifier is a fixed component of the detector.
The preamplifier has a temperature probe for optional temperature
compensation.

Function The emission entering the detector is absorbed in the region of the fill gas
absorption lines and by molecular collision is momentarily converted to heat energy
corresponding to pressure. This pressure change is received by the membrane
capacitor.
The 150-V voltage applied now generates a corresponding mV signal via a high-
resistance circuit.
The primary emission absorption occurs in the forward chamber (positive
deflection). In the rear chamber there is a flank-driven emitted beam portion of the
rotation lines which in the case of overlap with interference gas components leads
to cross-sensitivity. The greater depth of the rear chamber causes the absorption of
most of this interference emission and there is also a pressure increase here to
counter the pressure in the front chamber. This suppresses a certain amount of the
cross-sensitivity effect.
The preamplifier has 3 jumpers to allow signal matching to x1, x3 or x10. These
jumpers are set during the initial calibration.
The temperature probe is used to determine the ambient temperature of the optical
components and is therefore part of the optional measurement signal temperature
compensation circuit. Only the first infrared detector’s probe is used for
temperature measurements.

Types All infrared detectors are mechanically identical. Detector fill is determined by the
application. The detectors are suitable for all measurement ranges shown on the
data sheet.
Sample components:
CO, NO, SO2, N2O, Frigen/R12, H2O, SF6, CS2, NH3
CH4, C2H2, C2H4, C2H6, C3H6, C3H8, C4H10, C6H6, C6H14
