O2 ANALYSER

Analyzer Working Principle

• The IR or UV sources will be used in the analyzer. It passes the IR or UV

rays through a sample cell.
• A Pyroelectric detector is used to measure the concentration of these IR
or UV rays and the output of the detector is equivalent to the measured
Sox or Nox.
• Other than non-dispersive UV or IR, So2 can also be measured by UV
fluorescence, Enhanced Laser, Fourier Transform Infra-red, gas
chromatography, mass spectrometry.

• The Zirconium oxide sensor usually is furnished in a convenient probe
format for direct-in-line insertion. The sensor is based on the
zirconium oxide is the conductor of oxygen ion. The Zirconium
exhibits very high resistance at room temperature.
• Heating the element allows different partial oxygen concentration of
gases to come into contact with opposite of the zirconia, creating an
oxygen concentration cell. An electromotive force is produced
because ions travel through the zirconia element to the other
element.

• At high temperature the zirconia becomes conductive.The zirconia is
heated and the gas with known concentration is filled inside the
meter which is the reference gas. At an optimum temperature, a
voltage is produced across the zirconium cell, which is proportional to
the concentration of oxygen in the process air or which is dependent
only on the ratio of the concentration of the oxygen.
• Using air as the reference gas, the current produced will be the
measure of the concentration of oxygen in the process gas only.
