Special versions

Separate gas paths

The ULTRAMAT 23 with 2 IR components without pump is also available with two separate gas paths. This allows the measurement of two measuring points as used e.g. for the NO_x measurement before and after the NO_x converter.
The ULTRAMAT 23 gas analyzer can be used in emission measuring systems and for process and safety monitoring.

Versions conforming to EN 14181 and EN 15267

According to EN 14181, which is standardized in the EU and required in many European countries, a QAL 1 qualification test, i.e. certification of the complete measuring system including gas paths and conditioning, is required for continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS) . In accordance with EN 15267, this must be performed by an independent accredited authority. In Germany, for example, the test is performed by the German Technical Inspectorate (TUV) and the test report is submitted to the Federal/State Workgroup for Emission Control (Bund/Lander-Arbeitsgemeinschaft fur Immissionsschutz - LAI) for examination/approval. Notification is also issued by the German Federal Environment Agency (Umweltbundesamt - UBA) in the Federal Gazette as well as by the German Technical Inspectorate (TUV) http://www.qal1.de.
In Britain, the QAL 1 test reports are prepared by Sira Environmental of the Environmental Agency in accordance with the MCERTS scheme and submitted for approval and publication on the SIRA Environmental websites. The other European countries rely either on the German or English certification scheme.
For use in EN 14181 applications, the devices with the article numbers 7MB235X in the CEM CERT set (7MB1957) have undergone qualification testing according to German standards of EN 15267. These German Technical Inspectorate versions of the ULTRAMAT are suitable for measurement of CO, NO, SO₂ and O₂ according to 13th and 27th BlmSchV as well as TA Luft. Smallest measuring range tested and approved by the German Technical Inspectorate:

1 and 2-component analyzer

• CO: 0 to 200 mg/m³
• NO: 0 to 150 mg/m³
• SO₂: 0 to 400 mg/m³

3-component analyzer

• CO: 0 to 250 mg/m³
• NO: 0 to 400 mg/m³
• SO₂: 0 to 400 mg/m³

Also tested as additional measuring ranges in accordance with EN 15267-3:

• CO: 0 to 1 250 mg/m³
• NO: 0 to 2 000 mg/m³
• SO₂: 0 to 7 000 mg/m³

Determination of the analyzer drift according to EN 14181 (QAL 3) can be carried out manually or with a PC using the SIPROM GA maintenance and servicing software. In addition, selected manufacturers of emission evaluation computers offer the possibility to read the drift data via the analyzer's serial interface and automatically record and process it in the evaluation computer.
In countries in which QAL 1 certificates according to MCERTS/SIRA are (also) accepted, the ULTRAMAT 23 7MB233X versions can be used as an alternative to 7MB235X as analyzer modules in an MCERTS certification-compliant measuring instrument.
The smallest approved measuring ranges here are:

1 and 2-component analyzer

• CO: 0 to 150 mg/m³
• NO: 0 to 100 mg/m³
• SO₂: 0 to 400 mg/m³

3-component analyzer

• CO: 0 to 250 mg/m³
• NO: 0 to 400 mg/m³
• SO₂: 0 to 400 mg/m³

Version with faster response time

The connection between the two condensation traps is equipped with a stopper to lead the complete flow through the measuring cell (otherwise only 1/3 of the flow), i.e. the response time is 2/3 faster. The functions of all other components remain unchanged

Chopper compartment purging

consumption 100 ml/min (upstream pressure: approx. 3 000 hPa)
