Installing the Gas Analyzer 73
Fidas24: Connecting the Combustion Gas Line
Connecting the Combustion Gas Line
Cleaning the Combustion Gas Line
1 Pump cleaning agent (alkaline cleaner, stainless steel pickling agent)
through the stainless steel tube.
2 Thoroughly rinse the tube with distilled water.
3 Purge the tube for several hours at a temperature of > 100 °C with
synthetic air or with nitrogen (10 to 20 l/h).
4 Seal the ends of the tube.
Connecting the Combustion Gas Line
5 Connect a two-stage cylinder pressure reducer (version for high purity
gases) to the combustion gas cylinder.
6 Connect the combustion gas line to the cylinder pressure reducer.
7 Install a flow restrictor in the combustion gas supply line which
restricts the combustion gas flow to 10 l/h of H
2
or 25 l/h of H

mixture. This means that operation of the gas analyzer is safe even
with a defect in the combustion gas feed path (e.g. leaks).
8 Install a shut-off valve in the combustion gas supply line. It is
recommended that a pneumatic valve is installed; this valve must be
controlled by the instrument air supply in such a way that the
combustion gas feed is automatically shut off if the instrument air
supply fails (see page 129) (and the continuous housing purge
therefo
re fails).
9 Connect (see page 66) the combustion gas line to the combustion
gas inl
et of the analyzer module via a pressure regulator
(0 to 1.6 bar).
Check the seal integrity of the combustion gas line
10 Check (see page 116) the seal integrity of the combustion gas line
