Advanced Transmitter

The Endura AZ20 transmitter incorporates the most up-to-date

design and technology available today.

ABB’s universal human/machine interface (HMI) with its large,

clear, backlit graphical display, ‘through-the-glass’ control and

intuitive menu structure simplifies transmitter configuration and

operation.

The user-friendly interface enables fast, easy data entry for all

parameters and the ‘Easy Setup’ menu speeds and simplifies

system commissioning.

Long-term operation without technician intervention minimizes

operating costs, total cost-of-ownership, optimizes system

accuracy and contributes to the CEMS (Continuous Emmissions

Monitoring Compliance). A significant proportion of service visits

to an analyzer result in ‘no fault found’.

Advanced Automatic Calibration Facility

Integrated automatic calibration secures the oxygen

measurement, providing complete confidence in the analyzer’s

performance.

high-quality

manufacture, advanced diagnostics and

fully-integrated, automatic calibration is targeted at reducing this

wasted effort and cost.

Flow Rate Control using Flow Restrictors

The flow rates of test gas and reference air are important to the

accurate operation of Zirconia-based oxygen analyzers and,

traditionally, control has been achieved using ancillary

flowmeters and flow control valves.

The Endura AZ20 offers a new approach with the inclusion of

optional flow restrictors. These are fitted within the probe to

control the flow rate of the reference air and test gasses,

removing the need for additional flowmeters fitted with flow control valves.

This innovative approach enables the gasses to be controlled by

pressure only. 1 Bar (15 psi) is applied directly to the probe’s gas

ports and the correct flow rate is then set by the flow restrictors.

Unique Integrated Automatic Calibration

The all new Endura AZ20 automatic calibration system

eliminates the need for the expensive ancillary equipment

required for automatic calibration on traditional flue gas oxygen

analyzer systems. ABB’s fully integrated, automatic calibration

feature controls the test gas sequence and detects test gas

availability, eliminating incorrect calibrations due to loss of test gas.

Easy Cell Release

The Endura AZ20 probe has retained the easy-access cell arrangement of the previous generation ZFG2 probes.

Cell replacement can be performed on-site using basic hand tools;

even after long periods of high temperature operation where screw threads have ‘seized’ and can no longer be released.

Kits containing all the parts needed to complete maintenance are available

from ABB to ensure a technician can perform services quickly, efficiently and at minimum cost.

Proven Cell Design

ABB’s metallurgically bonded, multi-layer electrode technology increases

the cell’s resistance to sulphurous and reducing atmospheres and high temperature operation.

This extends the life-cycle of the cell in the most arduous applications such as sulphur recovery processes,

crematoria and industrial/clinical waste incineration.

Advanced Design

Designed and manufactured to exacting standards, the Endura AZ20 ensures long periods

of trouble-free operation in even the most arduous of applications.

The operating process temperature of up to 800 °C (1472 °F) extends system suitability

into previously impossible applications and enables optimum probe location within the process.

The modular design, with reduced component count, improves the robustness and 

reliability of the system and simplifies routine maintenance and servicing.

Complete traceability ensures only the highest quality materials are used in the analyzer’s

construction and rigorous manufacturing, inspection and testing procedures

(to international standard ISO 9001) result in a monitor of superior quality with prolonged probe life.

Introduction

The Endura AZ20 is the latest in a long line of high-quality, combustion gas analyzers from ABB.

The sensor, based on a zirconium oxide cell, is mounted at the tip of the probe that is inserted in the flue duct.

The resulting direct, in situ measurement provides accurate and rapid oxygen reading for combustion control optimization and emissions monitoring.

Probe Lengths up to 4.0 m (13.1 ft.)

A wide range of probe insertion lengths from 0.5 to 4.0 m (1.7 to 13.1 ft.) enable installation

to the optimum measuring point for accurate oxygen measurement within the duct; even in the largest flue gas ducts and stacks.

A comprehensive range of mounting flanges provide simple installation

when plant-wide standard flanges are required or when replacing existing probes.

The transmitter can be probe- or remote-mounted at distances of up to 100 m (328 ft.),

thus providing versatile system options for all applications.

The probe-mounted transmitter option provides the lowest cost of installation.

However, the remote-mounted transmitter provides flexibility when the operationally ideal probe location does not provide easy access for the user.

Close Coupled Sampling System

The sensor assembly is mounted on the process wall and the probe and filter assembly extends into the process gas stream.

A pneumatic injector is used to draw a sample from the process stream and feed it to the sensor head.

Oxygen analysis is performed by an industry standard zirconia cell.

Carefully metered dilution air is added and then calibrated for COe before the high sensitivity catalytic sensor is used to measure unburned combustibles.

The dilution air ensures a sufficient supply of oxygen to allow the COe sensor to function properly under abnormal

process conditions where extremely low combustion oxygen levels may occur.

The tightly coupled extraction system enables tight temperature and pressure control of the sensor and sample gas.

This provides a stable background for target gas measurements, which improves the accuracy of the measurements.

Flame arrestors are installed in the sampling path to prevent flashbacks during startup when the combustible

content of the process gas exceeds the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL), thus ensuring safe operation.

Flashback is prevented if the combustible content of the process gas exceeds the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) during startup, shutdown, or process disturbances.

The sampling channel is kept hot to prevent acid gas condensation and corrosion.
