Trace Oxygen Analyzer Introduction Introduction 1.1 Overview The Teledyne Electronic Technologies Analytical Instruments (TET/AI) Model OT-3 is a microprocessor-based trace oxygen analyzer for real-time measurement of the parts per million of oxygen in inert gases, or in a wide variety of gas mixtures. It features simple operation, fast response, and a compact, rugged construction. Typical applications of the Model OT-3 include monitoring natural gas pipelines, wellheads, and compressor/blowers.

Installation OT-3 Operational Theory 2.1 Introduction The analyzer is composed of two subsystems: • 3300/OT-3 control unit • OT-3 sample sys. The OT-3 sample system is designed to accept the sample gas and direct it to the sensitive surface of the Micro-fuel Cell sensor. The Micro-fuel Cell is an electrochemical galvanic device that translates the amount of oxygen present in the sample into an electrical current. The 3300/OT-3 control unit processes the sensor output and translates it into elect

(All of the reactants are stored externally in a true fuel cell.) 2.2.2 Anatomy of a Micro-fuel Cell The Micro-fuel Cell is made of extremely inert plastic (which can be placed confidently in practically any environment or sample stream). It is effectively sealed, though one end is a gas permeable membrane. At the permeable end a screen retains a diffusion membrane through which the oxygen passes into the cell. At the oth

Installation OT-3 electrical circuitry, to one of the external contacts in the connector receptacle, which is on the top of the cell. 2.2.3 Electrochemical Reactions The sample gas diffuses through the Teflon membrane. Any oxygen in the sample gas is reduced on the surface of the cathode by the following half reaction: - - O +2H O + 4e — 4OH (cathode) > 2 2 In this reaction, four electrons combine with one oxygen molecule—in the presence of water from the electrolyte—to produce four hydroxyl io

Trace Oxygen Analyzer Installation 2.2.4 The Effect of Pressure In order to state the amount of oxygen present in the sample as a percentage of the gas mixture, it is necessary that the sample diffuse into the cell under constant pressure. If the total pressure increases, the rate that oxygen reaches the cathode through the diffusing membrane will also increase. The electron transfer, and therefore the external current, will increase, even though the oxygen concentration of the sample has not ch
