Probe retractor
The probe retractor moves the up to 3.5 m long gas sampling probe. The drive
is a pneumatic chain drive.
The following illustration shows the probe retractor:
The main components of the probe retractor are:
Central monitoring device to
control compressed-air supply
Interrupts movement of the gas
sampling probe.
Ensures movement of the probe
retractor.
Electric current connection.
("cable drag chain")
Connection between the sample
gas line of the gas sampling
system and the downline sample
gas line of the gas analysis sys-
tem.
Shutter
(with automatic [pneumat-
ic] or manual actuation)
Closes the kiln duct opening
when the probe is retracted.
