    摘要: A process oxygen analyzer includes a process probe extendible into a flow of process combustion exhaust, the process probe having an oxygen sensor measurement cell. Measurement circuitry is coupled to the oxygen sensor measurement cell and configured to obtain a non-corrected indication of oxygen concentration relative to a combustion process based on an electrical characteristic of the oxygen sensor measurement cell. A controller is operably coupled to the measurement circuitry and is configured to obtain an indication of process pressure and selectively provide a corrected oxygen concentration output based on non-corrected indication of oxygen concentration and the indication of process pressure. A method of providing a process oxygen concentration using a process oxygen analyzer coupled to an industrial combustion process is also disclosed.

    摘要: An open path gas detection system includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter is configured to generate illumination across an open path. The receiver is positioned to detect the illumination from the transmitter after the illumination has passed through the open path and detect a gas of interest based on the illumination. However, the laser can also be used for gas detection systems in other circumstances. The transmitter and receiver are configured to communicate wirelessly. A method of operating an open path gas detection system is also provided.

    摘要: A process fluid temperature estimation system includes a mounting assembly configured to mount the process fluid temperature estimation system to an external surface of a process fluid conduit. A sensor capsule has at least one temperature sensitive element disposed therein and is configured to sense at least a temperature of the external surface of the process fluid conduit. Measurement circuitry is coupled to the sensor capsule and is configured to detect a characteristic of the at least one temperature sensitive element that varies with temperature and provide sensor capsule temperature information. A controller is coupled to the measurement circuitry and is configured to obtain a temperature measurement of the external surface of the process fluid conduit and to obtain a reference temperature and employ a heat transfer calculation with the reference temperature, the external surface temperature measurement and a known thermal relationship between the external surface temperature sensor in the sensor capsule and the reference temperature to generate an estimated process fluid temperature output. The controller is also configured to improve response time of the process fluid estimation system mathematically. In some examples, the controller is configured to extract the system tau value from the measured data.

    摘要: A pressure sensor assembly includes a pressure sensor having a support structure and a sapphire isolation member coupled to the support structure and forming a region between a first surface of the sapphire isolation member and the support structure. A second surface of the sapphire isolation member has a sapphire etch surface formed thereon and is positioned to interface with fluid from or coupled to a process. A process seal is positioned against the second surface of the sapphire isolation member to prevent fluid from passing by the pressure sensor assembly. Electrical leads couple to a polysilicon strain gauge pattern positioned in the region on the first surface of the sapphire isolation member, and the polysilicon strain gauge pattern is configured to generate electrical signals indicative of the pressure of the fluid when the sapphire isolation member deflects responsive to the pressure.

    摘要: A combustion analyzer configured to simultaneously detect the concentrations of oxygen, carbon monoxide and methane in a combustion process is provided. The combustion analyzer includes an oxygen sensor configured to detect the oxygen in the combustion process and generate a sensor signal indicative of the concentration of oxygen in the combustion process. The combustion analyzer further includes a dual carbon monoxide-methane sensor configured to operate at approximately 400° C. and provide a second sensor signal indicative of methane concentration and at approximately 300° C. to selectively provide a third sensor signal indicative of carbon monoxide concentration. The combustion analyzer finally includes a controller configured to receive the sensor signals, determine the concentration of oxygen, and generate a carbon monoxide concentration output and methane concentration output based on the dual carbon monoxide-methane sensor signals and the concentration of oxygen.

    摘要: An in-situ averaging combustion analyzer includes a housing and a probe coupled to the housing at a proximal end. The probe has a distal end configured to extend into a flue and contains a zirconia-based oxygen sensing cell proximate the distal end. Electronics are disposed in the housing and are coupled to the zirconia-based oxygen sensing cell. The electronics are configured to measure an electrical characteristic of the zirconia-based oxygen sensing cell and calculate an oxygen concentration value. An averaging conduit is disposed about the probe and has a plurality of inlets spaced at different distances from the distal end of the probe. The averaging conduit has at least one outlet positioned between the distal end and the proximal end of the probe. The electronics are configured to provide an average oxygen concentration output based on the calculated oxygen concentration value.
