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
Infrared Detectors • Not a new idea • Earlier attempts unsuccessful • iBall Instruments Developed New Methods • Modulated light Source • New tungsten Filament Infrared Source • New Lithium TantalatePyroelectricdetector
How Does It Work? • Sample gas diffused into Optical Chamber through filter • Lithium/Pyroelectricsensors 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
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
