2-3: Piping

WARNINGBoth the process gas and calibration gas (pure methane) are flam-mable, and if mixed with air and ignited, they may explode. For safety, do the following before beginning to work.•Useagasdetectortomakesurethatnoflammablegascanbe

detected in the work area, instruments, or surrounding air. We rec-ommend the continued use of the gas detector during work.

•Sincealeakageofgasmightoccurduringwork,removeanyflam-mable objects from the workplace.

•Topreventgasabsorptionbythehumanbody,keeptheworkplaceventilated.

Also, after piping work is complete, refer to “Piping leak check” on page 8 and make sure that there is no leakage from connected parts, etc., before starting a test-run or regular operation.

Inside the adapters in both sides of manifold, there's gas inlet and outlet of GasCVD. Make sure the gas flow direction is the same as the arrow on the surface of the manifold. Make sure that the adapters do not loosen when attaching the pipes.

There are two types of screws for piping, 1/8 NPT female or Rc1/8, depending on the GasCVD model.

Material

For piping the GasCVD and sample conditioning unit, use stainless steel 316 tube or equivalent that is specialized for gas analysis use or is finished with an inert internal surface treatment so that it does not degas impurities. Avoid using plastic, elastomer, copper, brass or steel tube. Use stainless steel 316 tube fittings.

Sample conditioning unit

The following illustration shows a minimal system for a sample-conditioning unit. In some cases, additional filters, oil mist separator, drier, and so forth might be required, depending on the properties of the gas. Evaluate which components are needed within the sample-conditioning unit from the gas properties, and avoid increasing the inner volume by adding useless components, since that will interfere with speedy gas replacement.

Pressure and flow rate

Supply the process gas and pure methane gas for calibration to the inlet of GasCVD under the following conditions.• Pressure: ≤ 110 kPa (abs.)• Flow rate: 50 ml/min ± 10 ml/min

Vent line

CAUTIONThe outlet of GasCVD should be connected to a ventilation tube with an inner diameter large enough to not be affected by backpressure. It should open to the air in a place not affected by wind, rain or snow. Natural gas and methane are discharged directly from the vent, so the vent should be located where human beings will not be harmed. When cleaning the inside of the tube by blowing back clean inert gas, to pro-tect the device, do not blow gas into GasCVD.

When cleaning the inside of the tube by blowing back clean inert gas, to protect the device, do not blow gas into GasCVD.

Piping leak check

Conduct a leak test using pure methane (99.995 % CH4). The leak test may be either the soap bubble method or the falling pressure method. If the falling pressure method is used, make sure there are no effects from the wind and no change of temperature. These factors can make it seem that there is some leakage even when none actually exists. If some leakage is observed, tighten the tube fittings and then check again.

The detailed procedure for the leak test is as follows.

Step Action (Soap Bubble Method) Action (Falling Pressure Method)1 Plug the outlet of GasCVD2 Supply pure methane at 300 kPa3 Put liquid soap on the piping connections Stop supplying pure methane and check the

pressure4 Check if there are soap bubbles Wait 10 minutes5 Wipe off the liquid soap with a clean dry

clothCheck the pressure to see whether there is leakage

If soap bubble method is used, wipe the soap off completely after the test. Otherwise it might contaminate the gas or cause corrosion.

2-4: Wiring When wiring GasCVD, use conduits that are rated as flameproof to attach to the conduit connecting ports. Put cables through the conduits and then connect to GasCVD’s internal terminal block. There are 2 possible types of thread on the conduit connecting ports, either 1/2 NPT female or G1/2 female, depending on the model of GasCVD. The model with M20 connecting ports requires adapters between the ports and the flameproof conduits.

WARNINGDo not do wiring work with wet hands or while electricity is being sup-plied to the product. There is a danger of electric shock. When work-ing, keep hands dry or wear gloves, and turn off the power.

CAUTIONWhen wiring, check the specifications carefully and make sure to wire correctly. Incorrect wiring can cause device damage or malfunction.Supply electric power correctly according to the specifications. Supplying power that differs from the specifications can damage the device.Use a DC power supply that has overload protection.

Check the relationship between the external load resistance and the supply voltage. The supply voltage is 24 Vdc ± 10 % and the external resistance is 250–540 Ω. External resistance is the total resistance connected to the output terminals of GasCVD, including the resistance of all cables in the loop plus the internal resistance of the instruments.

External power is required when using the process alarm function or calibration function. Use 26.4 Vdc max., 50 mA max. for STATUS contacts, and 26.4 Vdc max. 1 A max. for CALIB contacts. (For the minimum allowable voltage, please refer to the specifications for the relay or solenoid valve used.)

The installation of a surge protector suitable for the relay or solenoid valve is required.

If a shielded cable is used, do not connect the shield wire. Instead, ground GasCVD using its ground terminal attached to an independent wire. The ground resistance must be 100 Ω or lower.

The connection of a grounding or equipotential bonding conductor with the external grounding terminal must use the method illustrated below.

4-5-5-3: Manual calibration / auto calibrationCalibration compensates for sensor sensitivity drift caused by long-term use or long-term storage. GasCVD has already been calibrated at the factory but you should recalibrate it with your own calibration gas (pure methane gas) to ensure the accuracy of analysis in the following cases:

• When first installing GasCVD.• When an unused GasCVD is returned to active service.• At a calibration interval decided by the user. The recommended calibration cycle is

once per week.

The calibration gas must be pure methane 4.5 (≥99.995 %). The consumption of calibration gas depends on the sampling system. If Hold time is set to 20 minutes and the flow rate is 50 ml/min, the consumption will be about 500 ml for one calibration.

There are two methods of calibrating GasCVD, Manual Calibration and Auto Calibration. The difference between the two methods lies in whether calibration is repeated at a user-defined interval or not. The calibration procedure during hold time is the same. The calibration procedure is described below.

Note: During manual calibration and after auto calibration has started, settings cannot be changed and simulations cannot be run.

Step Calibration procedure

1Turn CALIB contact output on. Change the inlet gas from process gas to calibration gas. The LCD displays “Calib” and the output is held at the latest SCV value.

2 Wait for the first half of hold time.

3

Execute calibration and calculate the new calibration factors (CFs). If all the new CFs are within the 0.99–1.01 range, the calibration was successful and the CFs are changed to the new ones. If one or more CFs are outside the 0.99–1.01 range, the calibration has failed and the CFs have not been changed.

4Turn the CALIB contact output off. Change the inlet gas from calibration gas to process gas.

5 Wait for the second half of hold time to allow replacement of the gas.

6At the end of the hold time, the calibration process and “Calib” mode end. The LCD shows the normal operation display and the output hold is cleared.

If calibration fails, an alarm flag appears on the LCD display. The flag means that there was a calibration failure, and it is not cleared until calibration succeeds. The calibration log is updated regardless of success or failure.

CALIB simulation (read/write):

OPEN/CLOSEWhen GasCVD is newly installed with the sampling system, use this CALIB contact control command to switch the solenoid valve and check the calibration gas replacement time in order to decide the hold time for calibration.

Hold time (read/write):

The hold time setting range is from 2 to 120 minutes. (default: 20min) Calibration takes place halfway through the hold time. Allow enough hold time for replacement of the process gas with calibration gas.Hold time > gas replacement time × 2 + α (α:Preparation time)

Manual calib start (read/write):

Selecting “Manual calib start” starts the hold time of the manual calibration process.Once "Manual calib start", it cannot stop till end.

CF view (read):

You can check the four CFs generated by the latest successful calibration. The factory default CF settings are all 1.00000. CFs serve as a correction factor for SCV calculation and also allow the user to track sensor sensitivity drift.

CF reset (read/write): “CF reset” clears the latest CFs, restores the default values of 1.00000, and clears the calibration failure flag and alarm.

Diag status (read):Whether an error or failure has occurred is shown by a hexadecimal digit. If neither an error nor a failure has occurred, “0x00000000” is shown.

Chapter 5: Maintenance5-1: Calibration

When end users calibrate GasCVD, pure methane gas must be used. For OIML R140 compliant models, calibration is required at least every 90 days. Refer to 4-5-5-3: for calibration gas requirements, as well as calibration setup and execution.

Maintenance Precautions

WARNINGWhen removing this device for maintenance, be careful of residual pressure or residual process gas. Leakage of process gas is danger-ous.When working on the vent, check its direction so that people do not come into contact with vented gas. There is a danger of burns or other physical harm.When the device is being used in an explosion-proof area, do not open the cover. Opening the cover may cause an explosion.

CAUTIONThis product was kept under carefully controlled conditions until it was shipped. Never try to modify this device. Doing so could damage it.

Calibration gas consumption and cylinder exchange cycleCalibrate using pure methane gas (purity of 99.995 % or better, = methane 4.5). Methane gas consumption (in ml) during calibration can be calculated by multiplying 50 ml/min by half of the hold time (min). For example, if the hold time is 20 minutes, methane gas consumption will be approximately 500 ml.A corroded gas cylinder is dangerous because it contains high-pressure methane. Install the gas cylinder in a safe area where it will not corrode. Change the gas cylinder if you find corrosion. Even if no corrosion is found, changing the gas cylinder every two years is recommended.

5-2: Replacement partsChanging and cleaning the sensor and wet parts cannot be done by the customer. Replacement filters for the inlet and outlet of the adapters are the only parts required for normal periodical maintenance. Refer to the WARNING and CAUTION notices in chapter 3-1 before starting maintenance. The spare parts list is shown below.

Refer to the WARNING and CAUTION notices in 3-1 before starting maintenance.
