Design and validation of temperature-independent
measurements

Natural gas quality monitoring with fast, accurate and reliable
measurement of H₂S, CO₂, H₂O and O₂.
ABB has introduced Sensi+ NG, a compact natural gas contaminant
analyzer based on a unique tunable diode laser (TDL) technology
known as Off-Axis Integrated Cavity Output Spectroscopy (OA-ICOS).
The technology accurately, reliably and simultaneously measures
corrosive substances such as hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, water
and oxygen in real time in complex and time-varying natural gas
streams.
Every field-installed analytical instrument will be exposed to varying
ambient temperatures, whether from diurnal or seasonal cycles; this is
unavoidable. Temperature variations can influence a variety of internal
components, leading to a cumulative negative effect on final
measurements. This paper introduces you to the key technology –
OA-ICOS laser absorption – which is at the core of the Sensi+ NG
multi-gas analyzer. This robust opto-mechanical design minimizes
thermal influences that allow these devices to perform reliably and
accurately across the full operating temperature range of -14°C to 55°C
(7°F to 130°F).
