Introducing Axetris LGD F200P2-H Heating Control with PWM - 1

Company of the Leister Group Introducing Axetris LGD F200P2-H Heating Control with PWM Improvements at a Glance New integrated heating control of the whole LGD F200P2-H product family providing an increased measuring precision Axetris AG (Switzerland) and its Laser Gas Detection (LGD) business line is pleased to announce an upgrade to their OEM gas sensing modules LGD F200P2-H product family. A new heating control will ensure a more stable temperature of the gas cell and lead to an increased measuring precision. The improved temperature control is being implemented on all LGD F200P2-H modules and market launch is scheduled in Q2 2019. Reason Why Today the temperature of the gas cell of all LGD F200P2-H modules is controlled by a simple 2-point On/Off method. This control approach leads to a temperature fluctuation of the gas cell of about ±1°C, resulting in a correlated fluctuation of the measured gas concentration. This phenomena is attributed to the absorption peak intensity of the target gas being temperature-dependent. By considering specific LGD modules, for instance the LGD F200P2-H NH3, fluctuation of about 0.7% of reading can be observed. In case of applications where the measured concentrations remain below 100 ppm, the effect on measuring performance remains insignificant. But when measuring at higher gas concentrations, e.g. above 2'000 ppm, variations on NH3 concentration of about 15 ppm can be seen. Your Applications Gas Analysis for: • environmental compliance / CEMS • process control • research LGD F200P2-H module Our Solution We are replacing the On/Off temperature controller with a PI-controller paired with a pulse wide modulation (PWM) adapting the power duty cycle according the desired set temperature. Our Strengths • laser spectroscopy (TDLS) • high selectivity and precision • hot-wet gas measurement

Introducing Axetris LGD F200P2-H Heating Control with PWM - 2

Company of the Leister Group Your Benefit The improved temperature stability of the gas cell reduces the deviation of the measured target gas concentration over time. The table below provides a comparison between the PWM-based and On/Off heating control, tested on our LGD F200P2-H NH3 modules. Test conditions: set concentration NH3: 30 ppm, set concentration H2O: 30 % Vol., operating temperature 50 °C Improving the temperature control of the gas cell results in reduced deviations of the measured gas concentration. The benefits of this can be seen especially when measuring higher gas...
