SERVOPRO HFID Analyzer Operator Manual Part Number: SERVOPRO HFID Analyzers

SERVOPRO HFID Analyzers

Description The Servomex SERVOPRO HFID analyzer is an exceptionally accurate Flame Ionization Detection (FID) gas analyzer designed for measuring hydrocarbons concentrations in gaseous samples. The analyzer utilizes a highly sensitive flame ionization detector for measuring volatile hydrocarbon concentrations in industrial stationary source or mobile source (such as vehicle or engine certification) emission applications. The SERVOPRO HFID family of heated analyzers includes the standard unit reporting only total hydrocarbon (THC) or it can be equipped with a non-methane hydrocarbon “cutter” that...

Selectable analog output options: current in mA or volts in DC of 0 -1, 0-5 or 0 - Digital Output options: Modbus via TCP/IP, and AK Protocol via RS232 or Automatic fuel and air shutoffs Automatic calibration and ranging Fast response time ETL listed – conforms to UL STD 61010-1, certified to CAN/CSA C22.2 STD 61010.1 EPA 40 CFR Part 1065/1066 and Euro VI HD and Euro 6 LD compliant configurations The analyzer offers four basic factory ranges 30/300/3,000/30,000 (C1 as ppm or mg/m 3) or 10/100/1,000/10,000 (C3 as ppm or mg/m 3) which can be scaled and preset to either ppm or mg/m3 at the factory...

ensure that the moisture content does not fluctuate more than a few % and that the O 2 levels in the sample are always maintained at 10% or above in order for the FID to remain lit. If these conditions are not met then the analyzer performance will be adversely affected and/or it may damage the cutter material. If using 100% H2 fuel and running the CH4 mode in the NMHC version, make sure the moisture content does not fluctuate more than a few % or lower and that the O2 levels are always maintained at 10% or CAUTION above, if not then the analyzer performance will be adversely affected and/or...

processing the data according to the requirements as prescribed by the regulatory body. In many cases this is not a simple subtraction process, so please consult your regulatory agency to determine how you are required to obtain the final NMHC value. A heated oven (191°C) contains a burner and an optional heated pump. The small flame of the burner is elevated and sustained by the regulated flows of air and either pure hydrogen or a 40/60 mixture of hydrogen and helium (a hydrogen / nitrogen option is available but is not offered as a standard product – consult Servomex if this option is required)....

Heated Oven The heated sample gas is maintained above its dew point by a self-contained internal oven. The oven temperature is adjusted at the factory to be controlled at 191°C. The sample gas is maintained at this elevated temperature until it exits the analyzer’s bypass outlet, preventing any loss of hydrocarbon concentration in the sample due to condensation. Because the sample gas is analyzed HOT/WET you must make sure to keep the vent tubing on the bypass outlet short and pointed downwards to avoid plugging the vent line with condensed moisture. Flow System Combustion air and fuel used by...

INSTALLATION SAFET Y INFORMATION Safety Alert Temperature Hazard Caution or Warning Electrical Shock Hazard Caution or Warning Note, Caution and Warning symbols appear on the instrument and in this manual to draw your attention to important operational and safety information. A “NOTE” marks a short message to alert you to an important detail. A “CAUTION” safety alert appears with information that is important for protecting your equipment and its performance. A “WARNING” safety alert appears with information that is important for protecting you, other people and equipment from damage. Pay especially...

Some or all of the above symbols may appear in tis manual or on the equipment. This manual should be consulted whenever one of these symbols is encountered on the equipment. WARNING: ALWAYS REMOVE POWER BEFORE CONNECTING OR DISCONNECTING SIGNAL CABLES OR WHEN SERVICING THE EQUIPMENT. Potential Explosion Hazard WARNING: This analyzer uses a fuel that contains a FLAMMABLE LEVEL OF HYDROGEN. Any leakage from this fuel can result in an explosion. Carefully check the fuel supply system for leaks upon installation, before initial startup, during any maintenance or after the integrity of the system...

Fuel Requirements The SERVOMEX factory configures the SERVOPRO HFID analyzer for either 100% Hydrogen or 40%/60% Hydrogen/Helium fuel. Please make sure to use the correct fuel as specified on the fuel label affixed to the back panel of the analyzer. WARNING: Use of incorrect fuel will damage the instrument and could cause an explosion. Before initial startup, carefully check the fuel supply system to the analyzer for leaks. The operating technician should be properly trained for working with hazardous materials. Potential Sample Pump Damage The analyzer can be calibrated using the optional zero...

2. Always use a second wrench on the body of the filter housing when attempting to inspect or replace the filter. 3. Always allow the filter housing to cool to room temperature before attempting any maintenance. WARNING: Never attempt to disassemble or reassemble the filter housing while it is hot. 4. The sealing of the filter housing is accomplished with the o-ring. Do not over tighten. Re-assembly of the filter housing should be sealed just past finger-tight and only when the filter housing is at room temperature. Unpacking Instructions Open the shipping container and carefully remove the analyzer...
