19 Visible Configurable Raw Chromatograph
20
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
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
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
23 Genareal Infrared Measurement System
24
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
25 Operational Bloodhounds Found World Wide Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Utah, North Dakota, South Dakota, Pennsylvania, New York, Illinois, Indiana, New Mexico, Ohio, Kansas, Colorado, Kentucky, Turkey, Azerbajain, Morocco, Ukraine, South Africa, Belize, Chile, New Zealand…
