Trace Oxygen Analyzer Introduction 1 Introduction 1.1 Overview The Teledyne Analytical Instruments Model 3020T Trace Oxygen Analyzer is a versatile microprocessor-based instrument for detecting oxygen at the parts-per-million (ppm) level in a variety of gases. This manual covers the Model 3020T, trace oxygen, explosion-proof, bulkhead-mount units only. 1.2 Typical Applications A few typical applications of the Model 3020T are: • Monitoring inert gas blanketing • Air separation and liquefaction

Trace Oxygen Analyzer Introduction 1 1.5 Operator Interface All controls and displays on the standard 3020T are accessible from outside the housing. The instrument has two simple operator controls. A digital meter, an alphanumeric display, and a sample flowmeter give the operator constant feedback from the instrument. See Figure 1-1. The controls are described briefly here and in greater detail in chapter 4. Figure 1-1: Model 3020T Controls, Indicators, and Connectors Teledyne Analytical Inst

Trace Oxygen Analyzer Introduction 1 1.5.3 Displays Digital Meter Display: The meter display is a LED device that produces large, bright, 7-segment numbers that are legible in any lighting. It produces a continuous readout from 0-10,000 ppm and then switches to a continuous percent readout from 1-25%. It is accurate across all analysis ranges without the discontinuity inherent in analog range switching. Alphanumeric Interface Screen: The VFD screen is an easy-to-use interface from operator to

1 Introduction Model 3020T Optional: • Calibration Gas Ports Separate fittings for zero, span and sample gas input, plus internal valves for automatically switching the gases in sync with the 3020 electronics. Note: If you require highly accurate Auto-Cal timing, use external Auto-Cal control where possible. The internal clock in the Model 3020T is accurate to 2-3 %. Accordingly, internally scheduled calibrations can vary 2-3 % per day. Teledyne Analytical Instruments 1-8

Trace Oxygen Analyzer Operational Theory 2 Operational Theory 2.1 Introduction The analyzer is composed of three subsystems: 1. Micro-Fuel Cell Sensor 2. Sample System 3. Electronic Signal Processing, Display and Control The sample system is designed to accept the sample gas and transport it through the analyzer without contaminating or altering the sample prior to analysis. The Micro-Fuel Cell is an electrochemical galvanic device that translates the amount of oxygen present in the sample into

2 Operational Theory Model 3020T analyzed. The Micro-Fuel Cell is therefore a hybrid between a battery and a true fuel cell. (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 a cylinder only 1¼ inches in diameter and 1¼ inches thick. It is made of an extremely inert plastic, which can be placed confidently in practically any environment or sample stream. It is effectively sealed, although one end is permeable to oxyge

Trace Oxygen Analyzer Operational Theory 2 At the top end of the cell is a diffusion membrane of Teflon, whose thickness is very accurately controlled. Beneath the diffusion membrane lies 2 the oxygen sensing element—the cathode—with a surface area almost 4 cm . The cathode has many perforations to ensure sufficient wetting of the upper surface with electrolyte, and it is plated with an inert metal. The anode structure is below the cathode. It is made of lead and has a proprietary design which

2 Operational Theory Model 3020T The overall reaction for the fuel cell is the SUM of the half reactions above, or: 2Pb + O → 2PbO 2 (These reactions will hold as long as no gaseous components capable of oxidizing lead—such as iodine, bromine, chlorine and fluorine—are present in the sample.) The output of the fuel cell is limited by (1) the amount of oxygen in the cell at the time and (2) the amount of stored anode material. In the absence of oxygen, no current is generated. 2.2.4 The Effe

Characteristic Input/Output Curve for a Micro-Fuel Cell 2.3 Sample System The sample system delivers gases to the Micro-Fuel Cell sensor from the analyzer gas panel inlets. Depending on the mode of operation either sample or calibration gas is delivered. The Model 3020T sample system is designed and fabricated to ensure that the oxygen concentration of the gas is not altered as it travels through the sample system. The sample encoun

2 Operational Theory Model 3020T Figure 2-4 is the flow diagram for the sampling system. In the standard instrument, calibration gases (zero and span) can be connected directly to the Sample In port by teeing to the port with appropriate valves. The shaded portion of the diagram shows the components added when the –C and/or F options are ordered. The valves, when supplied, are installed inside the 3020T enclosure and are regulated by the instruments internal electronics. The flame arrestors
