Support bracket

For easy mounting, incl. support for 8 gas connections consisting of:

• Mounting part: Dimensions 380 x 110 mm (W x H)
• Bracket for gas connection: Dimensions 146 x 110 mm (D x H), bracket on right side, mounted at right angle

Sample flow switchover

The chromatograph enables automatic selection and switchover of 3 sample flows and 1 calibration flow. The DO signal from the gas chromatograph requires an external relay for the solenoid valve. The sample preparation system can be ordered separately.

Ambient temperatures

Particularly in warmer zones, weather protection is necessary to protect the SITRANS CV against direct solar radiation. The chromatograph is designed for ambient temperatures from -20 to +55 °C as standard. A solution (in tempered protective casing) is also available as an option for temperatures outside the limits specified above.

Communication

SITRANS CV has a serial interface (RS 485/RS 232) for MODBUS communication (RTU/ASCII). Modbus mapping can be flexibly used (see manual for more information).

The operator input is by means of another separate interface via Ethernet (TCP/IP).

Other serial and analog (4 to 20 mA) interfaces are optionally possible using an external solution package (see Article No. 7KQ2160).

Documentation

• Parameter backup

Article numbers Pos. 8_0: Applications – Standard calorific value analysis

This application comprises the standard calorific value analysis. The chromatograph's measurement method is set at the factory, using a synthetic natural gas mixture. The performance parameters specified in Table 5 and the criteria explained in the subsequent text apply to the individual components in Table 1 and their physical variables.

The calculation of the calorimetric variables is possible according to the following standards: ISO 6976-95, GOST, AGA 8, where the former is preset. The reference states for the combustion and for the gas volume that must be specified for calculation purposes are preset to the standard state (T_b=25 °C, T_n = 0 °C) and can be easily changed to other reference states during commissioning using the operating software (T_b= operating temperature, T_n= standard temperature).

The CVControl software provides the energy units BTU/ft³, KWh/m³ and MJ/m³.

Article numbers Pos. 8_1: Applications – extended calorific value analysis with oxygen

This position includes the extended calorific value analysis of the components and possible working ranges from Table 1. Oxygen is measured in addition to the listed components (see Table 2).

A carrier gas dry filter (article no. filter set A5E00400116) on the mounting bracket of the SITRANS CV or enclosed separately is used as standard for this measurement.

The remarks concerning oxygen and CO in footnote 1 of Table 1 are no longer applicable to this position. The information concerning calculation and performance parameters are identical to Pos. 8_0.

Important:

For correct operation of SITRANS CV in accordance with Pos. 8_0 and 8_1, all measured components must be present in the calibration gas. The calibration gases listed in the table "Recommended calibration gases for Pos. 8_0 and 8_1" are recommended (also see Table 6):

Table 7: Recommended calibration gases for Pos. 8_0 and 8_1

A summary of the various country-specific setups, i.e. standard settings including measured components and calibration gases, can be found on the parameter backup CD in the "Readme.pdf" document.

Article numbers Pos. 8_2: Applications – Calorific analysis with biomethane

This position contains the analysis of the components and working ranges of the biomethane listed in Table 3. Based on the measured concentrations of the components, the quality parameters – such as heating values – are determined in accordance with the international standards ISO, GOST and AGA analogously to positions 8_0 and 8_1.

Article No. Position 8_3: Applications – Calorific value analysis with backflush summation

This position includes the analysis of the components listed in Table 4, in which case the components starting from C6, including the isomers, are regarded as the sum peak. This variant is especially well suited for natural gases with very low content of higher hydrocarbons, especially C6+.

However, this backflush summation can also be used to effectively analyze natural gas with typical C6+ fractions. The components up to and including C6+ can be analyzed within the possible concentration ranges according to Table 4.

A01 – SITRANS CV for calorific value analysis Position 8_0, 8_1, 8_2 and 8_3 - Russian configuration

This position includes the possibility for ordering SITRANS CV with a Russian Ex certificate.

IMPORTANT: This Russian version results in a change in the nomenclature from SITRANS CV to MicroSAM.

The following also applies to Pos. 8_3: The limits listed in GOST Standard 31371.7-2008 are checked during the inspection and supplied with the device documentation.

B02- SITRANS CV with extended measuring range in combination with Pos. 8_0

This position permits separate measurement of the group isomers of the higher hydrocarbons C6 to C7(+) and C6 to C9 (+). In accordance with the designation C7(+) and C9 (+), a detailed measurement is carried out up to and including n-C9.

Important:
