Model 2000XTC Thermal Conductivity Analyzer

SKU: 2000XTC

The Model 2000XTC Transmitter resets the standard for thermal conductivity detector based applications with the process control industry. As an intrinsically safe transmitter, packaged within a rugged, weatherproof housing, the 2000XTC is suitable for use in harsh, hazardous outdoor environments. Using a novel, solid-state thermal conductivity sensor, this cost effective  transmitter can be configured to detect H2, He, N2 Ar, CO2 a number of other gases of or a number of other gases of interest in binary or multi-component interest in binary or multi-component  sample gas mixtures.

DETAILS

Description

The sensor structure consists of an integrated heater located  within a thin electrical and thermal insulating membrane. Two  thin film resistors are used for heating and measuring the  temperature of the membrane. Two resistors are integrated  on the silicon beside the membrane for the compensation off  the ambient temperature changes.

Features

  • Stable long term operation
  • Physical method for gas concentration measurement
  • Low power consumption
  • Small dimensions

Operating Principle

The thermal conductivity sensor measures the concentration of a specific gas between a hot surface resistor and an ambient temperature reference resistor using the thermal conductivity coefficient of the gas itself. Gases which have a lower density than air (CH4) cause a decrease on the surface membrane temperature. On the other hand, gases with densities heavier than air (CO2) increase the temperature of the measuring resistor.​
