ECS analyzers suffer reliability problems when the sample is either too wet or too dry. ACES systems reduce sample humidity to the ideal range for ECS (typically 30-70%RH), while removing dust or dirt particles. By incorporating a MD-070-12P Nafion® membrane dryer, disposable 0.1 micron pre-filter, and integral ss sample pump, the ACES system offers full corrosion resistance and very high selectivity. This allows complex samples to be processed without loss of analyte.
The ACES system is very easy to operate. Simply connect the ECS diffusion cell to the sample outlet of the ACES unit, then connect the sampling cell outlet back to the sample return port on the ACES. The ACES pump continuously draws the sample through the ECS, providing quick response time.
System power is supplied by a standard ss 120 or 240VAC circuit. If electrical power is not available or the ss system is installed in a hazardous area, an air driven version is available. All models are housed in NEMA 3R housings that measure 12″W x 7″H x 6″D and have a clear hinged cover for inspection of the flow rate and disposable filter. No tools are required for replacement of the filter or panel mounted fuse. Vertical installation is required for proper operation of the flowmeter. Wall mounting feet are supplied with the unit.
Typical applications includes ambient monitoring of humid environments such as those found in wastewater treatment plants or at landfills.
