2 Product Description
2.1 Working principle
The SMC-9004D gas analyzer system is especially designed for gas sampling and
analysis of cement plant. The analyzing system includes back-purgable sampling probe,
heated sample gas line, gas cooler, special powerful sample gas pump, filters, valves and
analyzer S710 (SIDOR). The sample pump draws the process gas from sample point,
through the sampling unit, transmission unit and pretreatment unit, and then into the
infrared analyzer. Thus, it can fulfill difficult measuring tasks with high dust loads or high
water content. If multiply sample points are required, the system can also be modified to
switch between several measuring points. In regularly intervals or on request the dust
filter and the probe can be blown out by means of backpurging using compressed gas. A
programmable logic controller executes all control functions. Thus, it can be adapted to a
wide variety of measuring tasks. This system is an elementary and economic solution for
standard applications.

Sampling pipe can be laid out in the power cable tray, but need to separate from power
cables. Sampling pipe should be fastened with cable tray every 2m in horizontal direction
and every 1.5m in vertical direction, the minimal bending radius is 0.5m. in order to extend
life time of sampling pipe please try to avoid the direct sunlight.
From sampling probe to Gas Analyzer, the incline degree of complex sampling pipe
should be higher than 1%,
Or
Binding sampling pipe with a steel rope, and fixing the steel rope on stack. Special
measures need to be taken to guarantee the sampling pipe will not be scratched by stack
wall.
Sampling pipe and span gas pipe need to be back flushed at least 2 or 3 times before
connecting into the system, a leakage test for the whole system must be conducted after
these back flushing.
3.1.3 Assembly of system cabinet
System cabinet is recommended to locate inside shelter where there is no strong
electromagnetic and no mechanical vibration.
In order to shorten response time system cabinet location should be as close as possible
to the sampling point. The cabinet can be located by itselfs weight or by 4 bolts (M14)
fixing on steel supporting baseplate.
Ventilation pipe needs to be installed on the top of cabinet to ensure exhaust gas flow out
into air.

5. Maintenance
5.1 General introduction
Daily maintenance is a crucial job which insures safety and stable running of SMC-9004D
gas analyzer system. From maintenance point of view, preventive maintenance is always
better than corrective action when issue happened.
System daily maintenance contains:
patrol inspection periodic draining and cleaning
heat preservation and heat tracing troubleshooting
Interval of daily maintenance
Interval time of maintenance - which is affected by dust concentration, type of dust,
sampling gas temperature, programs developed and field environment - is set up by
operators. Hence, this parameter setting should follow experts advice. Generally
speaking, system maintenance should be carried out every 2-6weeks, and maintenance
results should be documented.
Maintenance protocol
Periodic maintenance should be carried out by experienced operators, or this
maintenance work can be contracted to SICKMAIHAK service team, SICKMAIHAK can
provide out customer with professional maintenance services.
5.1.1 Patrol inspection

Check system apparatus display and recordkeeping in touch with operators to know
system working status.
Check power supply, gas source (including compressed air, calibration gas).
Check heat strip inside sampling pipe.
Check corrosion situation for components and connectors of pretreatment part, repair
or replace defective parts.
Check leakage for joint parts of between system and flue.

5.1.2 Periodic draining and cleaning


Periodic draining and cleaning is not necessary for all parts. Maintenance period can be
decided upon actual conditions.
This task is mainly targets on sampling probe, sampling pipe, dust filter and so on. The
measuring values will be affected directly or indirectly since dust particulate, oil droplets
will deposit in measuring pipe of these devices.

Warning
(1) Before maintenance, related technologists and operators should be
informed and certain permission should be gotten.
(2) System should be put into manual mode.
(3) Be careful for electric shock and high temperature during maintenance.
(4) Seal all parts tightly after cleaning.
5.1.3 Heat preservation and heat tracing
Check heat preservation, heat tracing of system is an important task of daily maintenance
which related to correctness of measured data and normal running of system.

5.2 System daily maintenance


Periodic system maintenance is necessary to make sure proper running of our system.
5.2.1 Daily check-up
The main task of daily check-up is patrol checking to find out systematic abnormity and
solve it.
5.2.1.1 Check up sampling gas flow volume before flowing into gas analyzer.
Sampling gas flow volume should be between 0.5 and 0.8L/min, and can be adjusted by
flow meters. It shows that sampling pipe has been blocked if adjusting flow meters still
cannot drop back into the range, the common blockage cause is probe filter, if this is the
case probe filter needs to be replaced.
5.2.1.2 Check up coolers temperature display
Working temperature should be between 2-5, if temperature exceeds this range,
system shall be stopped immediately for trouble-shooting, otherwise gas analyzer may be
damaged.
5.2.1.3 Inspection measuring value of Analyzer
A leakage is believed on gas line if the SO2 measurements show that measuring value is
very low (or high oxygen content), suitable leak detection methods need to find a leak
point. If the system has no leak point and the measuring value is still abnormal that
Analyzer needs to be calibrated using the standard span gas
5.2.1.4 Check up pressure of compressed air.
System may not work properly if the pressure is lower than 0.4 MPa.
