LDetek LD8001TCD Binary Gas Analyzer

The LDetek LD8001TCD Binary Gas Analyzer offers direct and continuous measurements of a gas component in a binary gas mixture. It is a compact, rack-mountable unit for industrial & laboratory use. It uses a Thermal Conductivity Detector (TCD) enabling measurements in the ppm to % measurements for binary gas mixtures.

Measurements of one component in more complex gas mixtures is also achievable when the background gases have the same ratio to each other or have similar thermal conductivity values.

The larger the difference between the thermal conductivity of the gas of interest and the background gas(es), the lower the limit of detection. For this reason, each application will different measurement ranges.

Applications:

• Gas manufacturing facilities: monitoring pressure swing adsorption (PSA) systems
• Gas management system
• Hydrogen production
• Gas blending equipment
• Air liquification plants: monitoring purity of Ar, O2, H2, N2, He, CO2, or Ne
• Welding gas control
• Steel mills: CO2 in off-gas from gas generators
• Petroleum refineries H2 purity in C1 to C6 hydrocarbons
• Specialty gas laboratories
• Heat treating: H2 in H2 and other annealing gases
• Process control
• Power generation plants: H2 cooling gas in turbine generator housings; CO@ in turbine generator housing; checking H2 purity
• Ammonia plants
• Chemical plants
• Refrigeration facilities
