General Description:
The DPC3500 is designed to detect moisture content in gas samples from -148
°F
to +20
°F (-100°C to -7°C) dew point. The readings are remotely displayed in
either Fahrenheit or Celsius on the door of the enclosure. In addition to the
visual display, the DPC3500 also provides 4-20mA and RS232 outputs for data
collection.
The DPC3500 is designed to provide continuous readings. Response times are
rapid as long as the sensor remains bathed in a sample gas stream that has a
low dew point. If the sensor is allowed to reach ambient dew point (greater than
40
°F or 4°C), it will take a considerable amount of time for it to achieve readings
at the low level. When installed and operated properly, the Remote Mounting
Assembly (supplied by SSi) will allow the sensor to be continuously exposed to a
low-dew atmosphere, which will result in rapid response times.
It is important to note that this analyzer is designed to measure dew point in
gases that are non-corrosive. Some gases that can cause damage or failure to
the sensor are trace amounts of SO
3
, high concentrations of NH
3
, Chlorine, HCL,
and any other gases that could cause corrosion.
