HCD4000 - Hydrocarbon Dewpoint Analyzer

HCD4000 - Hydrocarbon Dewpoint AnalyzerSpectraSensors HCD4000™ Hydrocarbon Dewpoint Analyzer has an accuracy of ±0.5 °C and it can discriminate hydrocarbon dewpoint from moisture or glycol. The analyzer uses “Chilled Evanescent IR Spectroscopy” or CEIRS™. The patented technique is very simple and robust and can optically discriminate hydrocarbon liquids from other liquids. 
 
 
 
 
 

Overview

 

Specific

The HCD4000™ will display the dewpoint temperature and indicate whether it is hydrocarbon or not.


Reliable

The CEIRS™ method utilizes a highly inert ceramic sensor element and is immune to contamination. The IR light does not travel through any gas so there are no false signals due to particulate scattering. Therefore the analyzer is very robust and requires little maintenance.

Fast and Easy

The HCD4000 is designed for remote operation at line pressure up to 1500psi. The dewpoint
temperature is updated every 15 minutes and the gas runs continuously.

 
Precise and Repeatable

This chart shows the correlation between the measured and theoretical dew points in a gas sample. The instrument performs with very low uncertainty.

Sample Conditioning

PONY   PONY Heated Probe Enclosure

Heated Probe Enclosure

The Pony® Heated Probe Enclosure is designed to provide and maintain heat for the sample probe directly at the sample point with a P53 Heated Sample Conditioning System.

The Pony® enclosure is an integral part of the P53, developed to install between 6” center-to-center thread-o-lets.

Consisting of a molded, insulated, and weatherproof clam shell design, the Pony® enclosure provides easy maintenance with steel latches and chain to prevent loss of lid.

Construction selections include hot press glass fiber reinforced polyester or stainless steel.
