1-3-5 Sample Gas Conditions
1-3-6 Differential Pressure Monitoring
For analyzers connected to flammable gases (either sample gas or span gas) the operator
needs to ensure that the pressure within the containment system always remains at minimum
50 Pa below the pressure within the analyzer enclosure. This ensures that in case of a leak the
flammable gas does not enter the enclosure.
An additional differential pressure switch must be provided to monitor the pressure difference.
The switch’s electric contact has to be connected to the purge system. In case the pressure
difference decreases below 50 Pa the contact opens and the purge system shuts down the
analyzer.
The limit of 50 Pa is the least permissible value given by the standards, higher values are
acceptable, too.
Flame arrestors are required for gas inlets and outlets.
Electrical and mechanical connections are shown in section 2 „Installation“.
