Description:
The 4th generation QUASAR nitrogen oxide analysis system from Signal in the UK uses the principle of chemiluminescence to analyze NOx, and has many unique advantages such as high performance and easy operation. The heating vacuum chemiluminescence method is a reference method for monitoring NOx (a mixture of NO and NO2). The chemiluminescence method under vacuum has higher sensitivity and lower quenching effect. The heated reaction chamber can handle wet and hot sample gases without condensation. Under vacuum conditions, the chemiluminescence reaction between NO and O3 is more intense, with a higher signal-to-noise ratio and less quenching of CO2 and H2O. The continuous monitoring and rapid response characteristics of this method are very suitable for working conditions that require real-time data. This monitoring method is listed in many standards, such as EN 14792 and Method 7E.
In order to obtain accurate measurements from engine or combustion gas emissions, it is important to measure the NOx content in the entire exhaust. This means that the exhaust gas must be transported to the analyzer through a heating pipeline. The inlet of the analyzer must also be heated, and sufficient dust filtration must be carried out in the heating area. The sample gas entering and inside the reaction chamber must be kept in a vacuum state. Vacuum can prevent water condensation (without the need for dehydration), thereby preventing NO2 from dissolving in water. Vacuum also greatly improves the signal-to-noise ratio. In addition, the quenching effect generated by high concentrations of CO2 and H2O in vacuum is almost zero. Therefore, vacuum analyzers have become the preferred instrument for measuring NOx.
Another important feature of the 4th generation QUASAR nitrogen oxide analysis system is the unique design of the ozone generator. This instrument uses high-voltage neon tubes, which are different from simple corona discharge ozone generators or ultraviolet lamps. Neon tubes do not generate NO from N2 in the raw gas. If N2 is oxidized to NO and dissolved in water to form nitric acid, it will cause corrosion and nonlinearity. Some other manufacturers of chemiluminescence NOx analyzers require the use of pure oxygen to avoid these effects. The NO2 to NO converter inside the analyzer can add the value of NO2 to the NO reading to obtain the value of NOx. The NO2 reading is obtained by subtracting NO from NOx.
The 4th generation QUASAR nitrogen oxide analysis system uses carbon materials for this conversion. The carbon material is placed in a quartz container, so stainless steel will not undergo any other reactions at a high temperature of 400 ℃. Carbon materials need to be filled every two years. To ensure the reliability of performance, Signal manufacturer uses corrosion-resistant vacuum pumps. Before the vacuum pump, the catalyst inside the analyzer has already destroyed ozone. For conditions where CO2 and H2O are not considered and the sample gas is at approximately room temperature, Signal manufacturer has a moderately heated chemiluminescence analyzer without a vacuum pump. Typical operating conditions include measuring trace amounts of NOx in the process gas, measuring vehicle exhaust diluted by the CVS system, and RDE onboard testing (optional 24VDC version). This analyzer can also be used in CEMS (Continuous Emission Monitoring) applications, but in order to maximize maintenance intervals, the flue gas needs to be cleaned and dried before using the analyzer.
