Oxygen analyser : Optimizing combustion efficiency and complying with environmental standards

analyser Oxygen: Optimization of Combustion Efficiency

Ideal for controlling combustion in boilers, incinerators, and furnaces, an oxygen analyser r helps reduce CO₂, SOx, and NOx emissions while saving you energy.

This gas analyser is specially designed for continuous measurement of oxygen concentration in flue gases and smoke from boilers in power plants, industrial furnaces plants (cremation, glassmaking, baking) and incinerators plants.

These zirconium oxide oxygen measurements are used to regulate the air-fuel ratio of burners in a controlled system to ensure optimum process efficiency in an industrial plant.

This instrument is ideally suited to controlling and optimizing excess air in combustion. As a result, it offers significant savings in fuel consumption.

How In-situ Zirconium Oxygen analysers s Work

The operation of the in situ oxygenanalyser r relies on the property of zirconium oxide, which conducts oxygen ions when heated.

This analyser measures the O₂ concentration by detecting the electromotive force generated by the difference in O₂ content between the air and the sample gas.

  • Safety and a high degree of protection
  1. Thermocouple break detection for temperature control in the detector via theanalyser by cutting off the power supply
  2. In the event of an emergency, the power supply to the detector can also be switched off via an external input.
  3. Locking function prevents operating errors

Why choose an in-situ oxygen analyser r with a zirconium probe? 

Why Choose an O2 In Situ U analyser r with a Zirconium Probe?

The in-situ O2 analyser with zirconia probe offers an accurate measurement of ± 1% on the measured oxygen concentration. It is also highly stable over time, thanks to its zirconia probe technology. This system is suitable for processes involving high temperatures of up to 1500°C, depending on the type chosen.

This probe is a highly reliable and robust instrument, which can be used in the most difficult conditions (dust, smoke, etc.). Its construction with resistant materials such as 316L stainless steel guarantees excellent resistance to damp and corrosive atmospheres.

The zirconium oxide analyser features a backlit LCD display for easy reading of results, even in the darkest conditions.

The transmitter also features an audible and visual alarm when preset thresholds are exceeded.

Among other benefits, they offer:

Specifications

Operating principle and application

At the heart of this device, the in-situ zirconia sensor ensures fast and accurate oxygen measurement. Primarily designed to measure O2 in non-flammable gas mixtures, this analyser is particularly well-suited for critical environments such as industrial heat generation in refineries, petrochemical reactor furnaces, and other large combustion facilities.

Exceptional Performance

The user-configurable measurement scale ranges from 0 to 2% up to 50% vol. oxygen. Exceptional repeatability of ≤ ± 0.5% PE and linearity of ≤ ± 2% PE ensure consistent, accurate performance under varied operating conditions.

Reactivity and Advanced Communication

With a fast response time of 4 to 7 seconds to reach 90% of response, the analyser offers near-instantaneous measurement to adapt to rapidly changing conditions. Analog output of 4-20 mAdc or 0-1 Vdc offers flexibility in data collection. In addition, contact outputs include 6 points with SPST-NO contacts for crucial functions such as high/low limit alarm, maintenance in progress, purge in progress, calibration in progress, andanalyser faults.

Integrated Security and Advanced Options

Integrated safety functions, such as power cut-off in the event of thermocouple failure, add an extra layer of protection. The lockout function prevents potential operating errors. Advanced options include combustion efficiency display, cleaning, automatic calibration, selector valve and flowmeter, providing further customization to the specific needs of each application.

Installation and power supply

Theanalyser offers installation flexibility with panel-mount or conduit-mount options. The cable length between the controller and the sensor can be up to 100 meters, providing adaptability to various plant configurations. Power can be supplied at 100–120 VAC or 200–240 VAC, at a frequency of 50/60 Hz, ensuring global compatibility.
