Separate Gas Source Used As Reference
Configure sample system as shown in Figure 3-7b. Standard and optional conditioning
components (dryers, contaminant traps) should be strapped in the upright position to
support beams.
Dryer(s) must be vertical to avoid channeling (voids in the sieve).
A separate source (if present) should also be run through an oil/air separator to re-
move trace quantities of oil from the gas. Oil in the reference stream will cause rapid
contamination of the analyzer cell.
