OxyTrend Elektrochemischer Sauerstofftransmitter

OxyTrend is an Oxygen analyser based on electrochemical sensor. It can be configured as a 2-wire loop powered transmitter or, connecting further 2 or 3 wires, it can also have serial output RS485 ModBus RTU (in alternative or in addition to the analog 4-20 mA).

OxyTrend can integrate 9 alternative types of sensor, depending on the measure to be achieved (from low traces, up to 100%). All sensors are insensitive to the presence of many background gases and hydrocarbons, making this instrument suitable for a variety of applications.

Simple, reliable and cost-effective solution to measure O2 in extractive applications in safe and hazardous area (ATEX) Zone 1 / Zone 21

Sampling System

OxyTrend 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 EC9600 transmitter combined with a sample and condition system designed for the specific application requirements. Contact ADEV for details.

Measuring Principle

ADEV sensors are specific for Oxygen. They measure the partial pressure of Oxygen from low ppm to 100% levels in inert gases, gaseous Hydrocarbons, Helium, Hydrogen, mixed gases, acid gas streams and ambient air.

Oxygen, the fuel for this electrochemical transducer, diffusing into the sensor reacts chemically at the sensing electrode to produce an electrical current output proportional to the Oxygen concentration in the gas phase. The sensor’s signal output is linear over all ranges and remains virtually constant over its useful life.
