Advantages
Precision through thermal conductivity measurement
The TCD technology (Thermal Conductivity Detector) uses the different thermal conductivities of gases to determine exact concentration values. With an accuracy of up to 0.5 % at the start of the measuring range, the technology delivers reliable results even at the lowest concentrations.
Durability and low maintenance costs
Thanks to the short warm-up time of just 5 minutes, the gas analyzer is quickly ready for operation and reaches its full specification after 30 minutes. This means you can integrate the device into your processes at short notice and carry out precise measurements immediately - without long waiting times.
Versatile application possibilities
Thanks to its flexibility, the TCD technology can measure a variety of gases such as H₂, CH₄, CO₂ and O₂. The multi-gas mode allows multiple gases to be analyzed simultaneously, making it perfect for biogas plants, the energy sector and other industries. This versatility saves time and increases efficiency.
Frequently asked questions
Which gases is the FTC 300 suitable for?
The FTC 300 measures a variety of gases such as H₂, CH₄, CO₂, O₂ and others. Its flexibility makes it ideal for applications in biogas, chemical and environmental technology.
How does measurement with TCD technology work?
The device uses differences in the thermal conductivity of the gases. These differences are detected by a sensor, analyzed and converted into exact concentration values.
Can the FTC 300 measure several gases at the same time?
Yes, thanks to the multi-gas mode, several gases can be analyzed simultaneously. This increases efficiency and saves time in complex applications.
Does the FTC 300 require a lot of maintenance?
No, the FTC 300 is characterized by its low maintenance requirements. Its robust design ensures long-term stable performance.
What interfaces does the FTC 300 offer?
The Gas Analyzer 210 O₂ paramagnetic is primarily used for explosion safety in industries such as chemicals and recycling. By continuously monitoring the oxygen level, you can ensure that the concentration does not rise into the dangerous range that leads to explosive mixtures. Real-time monitoring enables you to detect critical threshold values at an early stage and take countermeasures in good time.
