The Nova 381 Series Tri-Gas Analyzer is designed for monitoring the H2 purity inside a power generator and to monitor the purging procedure during a generator shutdown or startup. This analyzer is specifically for generators that are purged with N2 instead of the more commonly-used CO2. The analyzer contains a temperature compensated thermal conductivity (T/C) cell, electochemical O2 sensor, amplifier board, digital readout, range switch, pressure regulator, gas flow control valve, pump and a flow indicator. A 4-20mA recorder output is standard.
The T/C cell does not burn the sample nor is it consumed in any way, so it has a life expectancy of over 10 years. The electrochemical O2 sensor typically has 3-5 year life and is easy and inexpensive to replace. Measurement results are fast and accurate. A rechargeable 'gel cell' battery provides enough power for about 4-6 hours of continuous operation and the analyzer can be used while it is being recharged.
