MODULE: PROCESS ATMOSPHERE ANALYSIS
Accurate, Continuous, Automatic Measurement

The process atmosphere module is based on the AccuCarb LTA or FurnaceDoctor FX. AccuCarb LTA is specially designed oxygen probe for use in annealing atmospheres; and the FurnaceDoctor FX stationary infrared analyzer is recommended for use with endothermic or exothermic gases. The FurnaceDoctor FX is a high accuracy system that measures CO, CO2, and hydrocarbons. If used in conjunction with UPC’s Protherm series of controllers, PF calculation is possible.

ACCUCARB LTA [PIC]

Accurate, Cost-Effective Atmosphere Measurement

The AccuCarb LTA is an oxygen sensor designed specifically for annealing atmospheres and temperatures. While the electrode designs of standard oxygen probes fall short due to the high impedance of the device at annealing temperatures, the unique electrode contact and solid electrolyte substrate of the AccuCarb LTA takes care of this problem. The sensor is also gas-tight for hydrogen applications to ensure safe operation.

• High accuracy and reliability
• Special low temperature electrode assembly
• Gas tight design for safety in hydrogen-based atmospheres
• Long sensor life

MODULE: FURNACEDOCTOR FX [pic]
Multi Point Gas Analysis

FurnaceDoctor FX is suitable for installations using exothermic and endothermic gases. It provides complete 3-gas analysis (CO, CO2, CH4), and when used in conjunction with a Protherm instrument, provides the ability for PF control.

• Accurate, affordable infrared measurement of CO, CO2, and CH4
• Computation of % Carbon and expected oxygen probe millivolts
• Single- or Multi-point measurements
• Built-in Ethernet
• Encrypted data – fully CQI 9 compliant
