8866 Wärmeleitfähigkeits-Analysator
8866 is an analyzer for harsh environment that allows very accurate and stable in line analysis of a gas in a binary (or almost binary) mixture, taking advantage of its own specific thermal conductivity, respect to the background gas.
8866 is an analyzer for harsh environment that allows very accurate and stable in line analysis of a gas in a binary (or almost binary) mixture, taking advantage of its own specific thermal conductivity, respect to the background gas.
The weatherproof and explosion proof 8866 is designed for field installation in the most severe conditions, minimizing the sample conditioning requirements.

Sampling System
The 8866 needs an external sampling system able to deliver an almost clean sample gas to the analyser at the proper temperature, pressure and flow rate.
ADEV has a wide experience in process and can provide the 8863 analyser combined with a sample and condition system designed for the specific application requirements. Contact ADEV for details.
Measuring Principle
The Cell Block assembly is made of stainless steel construction with two identical internal cells: the measuring cell and the reference cell. A highly stable thermistor is mounted in each cell.
These matched thermistors form the active arms of a bridge circuit: the unbalanced current of the bridge provides the means of measuring the relative ability of the sample and reference gases to conduct heat away from their respective thermistors to the cell wall, which is held at a constant temperature.
The standard two port version is used for zero-based ranges and has reference side sealed (air-filled). For suppressed ranges from 95%, the use of the four port version, with specific flowing reference gas, increase the accuracy to the maximum level.
