Product catalog summary
Introduction
The LANCOM 200 is a portable device designed for monitoring acid dewpoint temperatures, which is crucial for reducing pollution emissions and improving thermal efficiency in industrial settings. Manufactured by AMETEK LAND, a leader in precision measuring equipment, the LANCOM 200 provides direct and reliable measurements without the need for calibration.

Features and Benefits
  • Measures acid dewpoint temperature to optimize flue temperature and improve efficiency.
  • Helps avoid cold-end corrosion by identifying where acid condensation occurs.
  • Calculates SO3 and H2SO4 concentrations to manage fuel additive use and reduce sulfate aerosol formation.
  • Fully portable with data logging and a built-in printer for easy maintenance and field use.

Technical Specifications
  • Measurement Range: Acid Dewpoint Temperature from 120 - 200°C (248 - 390°F).
  • Flue Gas Temperature: 0 - 450°C (32 - 840°F).
  • Uncertainty: ± 0.5°C dewpoint temperature with a resolution of 0.1°C.
  • Power Supply: 95-265 V a.c., 50-60 Hz, 30 Watts.
  • Data Logging: Stores over 10,000 records with a log interval of 1 sec. to 10 min.

Applications
The LANCOM 200 is essential for coal and oil-fired boilers, helping to maintain thermal efficiency by operating above the acid dewpoint temperature. It minimizes cold-end corrosion and assists in controlling emissions, particularly in combustion plants burning coal, oil, high sulfur diesel, and petcoke.

Operational Insights
The device uses a conductive cell technique to detect acid deposition. It requires a clean, dry, oil-free air supply and is easy to set up, requiring only one person to operate. The LANCOM 200 provides vital data for process control, thermal efficiency, and emissions control applications.

Environmental and Compliance
  • Complies with EN 61010-2 for electrical safety and EN 61326 for EMC.
  • Protection from dust and water with IP42 and IP65 ratings for the instrument and probe, respectively.

Conclusion
The LANCOM 200 is a critical tool for industries looking to optimize combustion processes and reduce emissions. Its portability, ease of use, and comprehensive data logging capabilities make it an invaluable asset for environmental monitoring and compliance.

HOW THE ANALYSER WORKS ACID DEWPOINT TEMPERATURE The acid dewpoint temperature is the point at which the rates of evaporation and condensation are equal. The LANCOM 200 makes a direct measurement - requiring no calibration or reference. THE CONDUCTIVE CELL TECHNIQUE An acid film, such as sulfuric acid, is a good conductor of electricity. If a surface bearing two electrodes is introduced into a gas containing sulfuric acid vapor, any condensate forming on the surface would soon be detected by a current flowing between the electrodes. The LANCOM 200 comprises a stainless steel probe (to withstand...

SPECIFICATION & DESIGN SIMPLE SETUP - MEASUREMENT DATA IN MINUTES The monitoring unit is normally operated inside its carry bag. All that is required is a local compressed air supply, and a suitable sampling point for probe access. It requires only one person and no special skill to take the readings. The operator has to adjust the air supply and obtain a steady current flow on the display. Complete measurement data is available in a few minutes. The vital data it provides is essential for process control, thermal efficiency and emissions control applications. Standard Features Lancom 200 analyser...

LANCOM200 APPLICATIONS THERMAL EFFICIENCY Operating above the acid dewpoint temperature Identifying the lowest metal temperature required to minimize or eliminate corrosion, allows the operator to reduce the flue gas temperature, which minimizes heat loss and improves overall efficiency. Additionally, the pre-heating of the combustion air to increase efficiency will drop the exit gas temperature often below the acid dewpoint temperature. Minimize cold-end corrosion by maintaining the exit gas above the dewpoint temperature Sulfuric acid will condense on any surface below the dewpoint temperature....

MONITOR ACID AEROSOL EMISSIONS (CONDENSABLES) SO3 AND TOXIC RELEASE INVENTORY (TRI) Many countries are beginning to quantify Acid Aerosol Emissions. These are normally defined as sulfuric acid emissions in a vapor or liquid state, since the acid absorbed in the fly ash is assumed to be removed by the dust collectors. US EPA SARA Rule 313, Toxic Release Inventory (TRI), defines emissions as the quantitative amount of sulfuric acid mist emitted from coal fired boilers over a one year period. The emission of blue and white smoke is the best indicator of the presence of SO3, as fine droplets of sulfuric...
