Application Notes
Endothermic Gas Generator:
Catalyst effectiveness is measured using the residual CH4 % from the exhaust sample. Under 0.5% is an indication of a correctly functioning catalyst. Above 5% indicate potential issues.
Carburising and Neutral Hardening:
Furnace atmosphere and Carbon Potential (CP%) can be analysed and verified with the PGA 3510. Measuring Carbon Monoxide (CO) allows for adjustment of the furnace controller, normally COF/PF, parameters to optimise the Carbon Potential calculation in the furnace.
Measuring Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) can show potential issues (i.e. sooting, water leaks, air leaks, and radiant tube leaks). A high free Methane (CH4) % could be an early indication of a serious issue with the leak-tightness of the furnace.
Nitrogen/Methanol Atmopsheres:
The carbon monoxide (CO) % of the furnace atmosphere is a key indicator of the effectiveness of methanol dissociation. Equilibrium of this reaction CH3OH –> CO + 2H2 is temperature dependent so any variation in stability or uniformity can affect the quality of the processing environment.
