Speciality Heated FID Analyzers

Our HFID Model H100 is a compact heated FID analyzer for high purity hydrogen applications. The H100 measures low trace total hydrocarbon concentration in Hydrogen. For fastest response and highest accuracy except the pressure regulator all components in contact with sample are housed in a 190 deg Celsius heated oven.. The Model H100 is ideally suited for the detection of very low traces of hydrocarbons in pressurized high purity Hydrogen gasses. H100 may also be well suited for the integration in low concentration Hydrogen online inspection systems. 

The Model H100 uses a hydrogen flame ionization detector (FID) in a heated oven to prevent the loss of high molecular weight hydrocarbons and to provide long term stability and reliable performance in the analysis of low trace concentration levels of hydrocarbon contaminants in high purity Hydrogen.

The HFID Model VE572 is a reliable and rugged Dual Channel Sequencing heated total hydrocarbon analyzer for low drift, high accuracy, sensitivity and stability. It uses our time proven hydrogen flame ionization detector (FID) in a heated oven to prevent the loss of high molecular weight hydrocarbons and to provide reliable performance in the analysis of high concentrations down to trace levels of THC -contaminants in high purity gases, air and other gases.

All sample wetted components are integrated into the heated chamber. The two permanent heated sample filters are designed to be fully regenerated by back purging with compressed air or nitrogen. With only a few seconds needed for back purging, this technique allows uninterrupted measurements during cleaning of the sample filter while not in the sample mode. During back purging the sample filter, the sample line is also cleaned. The use of a stack probe filter is not necessary.

The combustion air supply for the detector is built in. No expensive zero gas generator or external cylinder for synthetic air is needed. Automated sample sequencing and back purging of the sample filter can be done with one of our optional timing controllers.
