Application Note

SpectraSensors SS3000 Dual Channel Gas Analyzer is capable of measuring moisture and carbon dioxide in this cost effective dual channel system which enhances cost savings by incorporating two sensors in one.

Trustworthy Measurements Dependable data is an essential element in the quest for improved safety and quality. The SS3000 analyzer delivers precise, reliable measurements using patented Tunable Diode Laser (TDL) technology developed by NASA.

The TDL sensor never comes into contact with the sample gas stream. The result is a sensor which does not suffer from contamination or drift due to vapor impurities such as glycol, methanol or amines.

The SS3000 dramatically reduces intangible but real costs associated with unreliable gas measurements. By eliminating added processing steps, detecting poor gas quality and the possibility of costly damage to equipment that can result from sensors that produce incorrect data.

State of the Art Technology The analyzer works by shining a laser beam through the sample cell. The laser beam is selected to interact only with the measured compound, creating an absorption signal. The higher the concentration of H2O/CO2, the greater absorption of light and the stronger the corresponding absorption signal. Spectrum Software analyzes these absorption peaks to produce very accurate and repeatable measurements. Since the calculation is a direct, fundamental measurement, the amount of H2O/CO2 present can be measured in real-time.

Low Cost of Ownership Operating costs are dramatically reduced by eliminating the cost of consumables, extra sensor heads, labor and overhead associated with excessive maintenance.
