Moisture Detectors

In extractive gas analysis the sample gas must be conditioned before it enters the measuring cell of the analyser. One of these conditioning stages is moisture condensing in the sample gas coolers. However, since the composition of the sample gas and the process parameters can fluctuate, condensate slip downstream from the cooler cannot be entirely ruled out. Moisture detectors installed at the cooler outlet indicate such slip. The detectors are extremely sensitive so fault conditions are detected early. Combined with suitable controllers this will generate the respective signals/alarms in the control system. In this function we offer various moisture detector models and a wide range of accessories.

FAQ: Moisture Detectors

  • What are moisture detectors?

    Moisture detectors are devices used to monitor moisture levels in sample gas. They are primarily used to detect any condensate carryover downstream of sample gas coolers and to identify abnormal operating conditions at an early stage.

  • What does a moisture monitoring system consist of?

    A humidity monitoring system consists of a sensor that extends into the gas stream and a signal converter integrated into the system control unit to generate the required signals or alarms.

  • How is the moisture detector installed?

    The moisture detector is typically installed directly downstream of the heat exchanger. The sensor can either be mounted in a line block or in a designated connection port on the downstream filter.
