Visible Configurable Raw Chromatograph

20

System Advantages

• Uses Infrared Detectors With Very Good Longevity

• Extremely Accurate And Fast Response

• Minimum DRIFT And Auto-Zero Chromatograph

• Unaffected by Temperature or Shock

• 1% to 100% Gas Units without Saturation

• Free Gas Detection Software

• Free Website Interface System

21

Infrared Detectors• Not a new idea• Earlier attempts unsuccessful• iBall Instruments Developed New Methods• Modulated light Source• New tungsten Filament Infrared Source• New Lithium Tantalate Pyroelectric detector

22

How Does It Work?

• Sample gas diffused into Optical Chamber through filter

• Lithium/Pyroelectric sensors provide output to patent pending software

• Adjustable pulse rate 4Hz at 50% Duty• Reduces background Interference to nearly Zero• Detector signals consist of ripples superimposed on

DC offset

23

Genareal Infrared Measurement System

24

Multiple Detectors• Reference Detector Has Minimal Filtering• Hydrocarbon Active Detector Filter Transparent to

strong absorption band of gases• CO2 Active Detector Filter Only Passes absorption

band Inerrant to CO2• Allows short optical path yet maintains good

resolution• Output ripple is reduced as radiation is attenuated• Built In Temperature Sensor For Temperature

Compensation• Ratio differences determines level of target gas

25
