2.3 Sample System
The sample system delivers gases to the Micro-Fuel Cell sensor from
the analyzer rear panel inlet. Depending on the mode of operation either
sample or calibration gas is delivered.
The Model 3000TA-XL sample system is designed and fabricated to
ensure that the oxygen concentration of the gas is not altered as it travels
through the sample system.
The sample system for the standard instrument incorporates VCR tube
fittings for sample inlet and 1/4"outlet tube connections at the rear panel.
The sample or calibration gas that flows through the system is monitored by
a flowmeter downstream from the cell. Figure 2-4 shows the piping layout
and flow diagram for the standard model.
