Some Typical applications include: Sulphur Hexafluoride Used in Circuit Breakers Sulphur hexafluoride is used as an insulating gas in circuit breakers. Excess moisture in SF6 gas causes arcing, which can trip the circuit breaker and cut off power to the distribution network. Moisture in Natural Gas The presence of moisture in high-pressure natural gas from a producing well causes pipelines and associated valves to freeze. High moisture content also leads to the formation of hydrates of the liquid hydrocarbons present, thus causing further difficulties. The moisture content of the gas also adversely affects the BTU value of the gas, thus lowering the quality and value of the product. Vacuum-Evacuation and Gas Refill in Oil Filled Transformers Moisture is continuously monitored in the vacuum evacuation and gas refill of oil-filled transformers. The moisture content of blanketing gases, of oil-filled transformers, directly affects the dielectric properties of the oil through water vapour dissolution. Instrument Air The presence of moisture in air used as a blanketing gas for sensitive instruments can cause corrosion problems, rapid changes in calibration, and loss of instrument sensitivity. Breathing Air The presence of excess moisture in breathing air can lead to freezing in the pressure regulator and ice blocking the orifice, causing an interruption to the supply of air to the user. Hydrogen Annealing Ovens High moisture content in hydrogen gas used in annealing furnaces causes oxidation of the metal to occur, thus resulting in an undesirable surface finish on the product. Ethylene Gas Stream for High-Density Polyethylene Production High moisture content in the Ethylene feed gas reduces the catalyst activity, thereby decreasing the overall yield of the polyethylene reactors. Hydrogen Cooled Electric Generators Hydrogen is used to cool large stationary generators because of its high heat capacity and low viscosity.

To allow rapid spot checks it is essential that the measuringsensor is kept drier than the sample to be measured. Thedesiccant dry-down chamber is designed to do just this bykeeping the sensor surrounded by desiccant when theinstrument is not in use, only exposing it to the sample gaswhen taking measurements. At no stage is the sensor allowedto come into contact with ambient air.

User friendly solution for continuous on-line dewpoint

measurement in dry process gases and dry compressed

air, offering powerful functionality and simple interface

through advanced digital technology.

Model DS1200 from Alpha Moisture Systems is a single channel

on-line hygrometer designed to measure dewpoint in process

gases and dry compressed air. The panel mounted ⅛ DIN

dewpoint meter, providing panel protection to IP65 (NEMA4X),

combines with the Model AMT range of ultra high capacitance

sensors for accurate trace moisture measurement.

Combination of advanced digital technology of the display electronics and the transmitter, makes this the

system of choice for a wide range of applications where precise indication, control and monitoring is critical.

Model DS1200-AMT system can be factory configured to read in °C dewpoint, °F dewpoint, ppm(v), ppb(v),

g/m³ or lbs/MMSCF. The measured value is displayed on a large 4 digit, 13.8mm high, fourteen segment

LED display. Model DS1200-AMT Dewpoint Hygrometer is fully configured to the customer's specifications.

The instrument offers two fully programmable alarm relays, which can be independently set across the

full operating range. An optically isolated analogue signal, linear with the measured unit is also available

(to interface with any external device).

Model DS1200-AMT can be supplied with any one of a range of dewpoint transmitters, which have all

been specially manufactured to provide long term stability, so ensuring a long and trouble free service life.

The long lasting sensing element offers excellent sensitivity, repeatability and response speed - especially

on dry down. Integrated electronics in each transmitter allow calibration data to be stored within its

memory, making transmitters completely field interchangeable.

Each transmitter is calibrated to provide overall system accuracy of better than ±2°C dewpoint and

supplied with a certificate traceable to international humidity standards.

Model DS1200-AMT also incorporates the invaluable “AUTOCAL” feature for easy field verification of the

system response, without recourse to any additional equipment. Accidental or unauthorised operation is

prevented by a simple initiation routine.

The system allows the display unit to be sited in excess of 1000m from the transmitter, connected by a

simple twisted pair cable.

Each unit is supplied with a Certificate of Calibration, traceable to International Humidity Standards, validating accuracy to ±2ºC dewpoint. Model AMT-Ex is ATEX certified and provides an Intrinsically Safe Dewpoint Transmitter for hazardous area use when installed with the appropriate isolator. The transmitter also incorporates an Automatic Calibration (AUTOCAL) feature, which allows the user to carry out a field calibration / span check. AUTOCAL feature is operated by means of two small button switches built within the transmitter enclosure. To avoid tamper, the switches are locked in normal use and can only be activated by following a special routine. The integral RISC microprocessor circuitry of the Model AMT-Ex transmitter allows high resolution with advanced self-diagnostics for fault conditions. It also enables periodic re-calibration of the moisture sensor, storing calibration data within the fully self-contained unit. The mechanics of the Model AMT-Ex transmitter have been designed to cope with extreme environmental conditions. The rugged stainless steel construction offers protection to IP66 (NEMA4X), with transmitter electrical connections made via secure industrial connector. Model AMT-Ex transmitter can withstand 35,000 kPa (350bar) maximum pressure and by employing a low resistance cable, the transmitter can be located significant distances, in excess of 1000 metres, from the safe area. Designed with the operator in mind, for reliable and accurate measurements, Model AMT-Ex is extremely easy to install and operate, requiring little or no maintenance. The Model AMT-Ex transmitter is supplied with a Certificate of Calibration, an instruction manual and 2m connecting cable.

Sampling Systems are engineered solutionsfor extracting and analysing a representativesample of the process air or gas which is then either vented off to atmosphereor returned back to the process.

Alpha Moisture Systems range of samplingsystems have been developed through manyyears of experience in industrial moistureanalysis. All systems are built using thehighest quality components to ensure longterm performance and reliability even in thetoughest of applications.

Our standard range of Sampling Systemsshown here are designed to cater for mostapplications, however if your particularrequirements are not met by any of thoseshown, our design engineers would only betoo happy to advise and custom design foryour specific application.

Reliability, serviceability and well plannedlayout are of paramount importance in asampling system. In view of this all oursystems are constructed to the higheststandards using quality components and withthe following general features :-

• Sample pipework and components built onto alu-minium front panel for support and neat layout.

• Clear flow schematic on front panel withlabelling of all major components.

• Modular construction for panel, surface or weath-erproof mounting.

• All pipework in stainless steel using high quali-ty compression fittings also of stainless steel.

• All internal electrical connections wired to mainterminal block.

Model SSILow Pressure Sample System - Maximum inlet pressure up to 28 barg, withsensor opertaing at atmospheric pressure.

This system is designed for gas or general compressed air sampling formaximum inlet pressure of 28 barg, with the moisture sensor operating atatmospheric pressure. The system provides for all necessary pressureand flow control and includes sample filtration to protect againstparticulate contamination. Auxiliary inlet connection is provided for asecond sample stream or for injection of a calibration gas. An outletconnection is also included to allow sample recovery or disposal.
