6 INTRODUCTION
A major problem in extractive continuous gas analysis are the accompanying substances contained in
the gas, such as dust, water vapor and also gas components that form corrosive acids with condensed
water vapor.
When gases are cooled down, solids can also precipitate, which would lead to the blockage of the
subsequent processing.
In order to achieve a maintenance-friendly measurement, the dust must be separated without water
vapor condensing. This prevents the dust from "caking" with the water and the possible formation of
acids. This prevents filters and connected lines from clogging and the probe material in contact with
the gas is not attacked by any acids that may be formed. In order to avoid the subsequent precipitation
of solids, these must also be separated and conveyed away.
The solution are heated M&C sample probes such as probes of the SP 2000-H... series. These probes
guarantee minimum maintenance when correctly adapted to the process conditions. In case of contin-
uous gas sampling for analytical measurements, M&C sample probes provide a fine dust filtration di-
rectly at the sampling point and, if necessary, a solids separation and removal. This avoids a large part
of the otherwise necessary maintenance work on an analytical system.
As a matter of principle, the amount of gas extracted should be limited to a necessary minimum to
ensure a minimum of maintenance work and a maximum of availability. This is possible by means of a
downstream optimized gas conditioning with components from M&C.

7 APPLICATION
The probes type SP2000-H320/S.. are used for continuous gas sampling in processes with high dust
load and high temperatures and/or high gas humidity where additionally solid particles may precipitate.
M&C has developed these probes for eg. continuous gas sampling in waste gas of DENOX plants
(SCR) where NH3is added to the flue gas in order to reduce the NOXcontent. With temperatures of
< 300 °C, ammonium salts are produced due to the chemical reaction of NH3and SO2/SO3in the flue
gas. This salt formation inevitably leads to blockages of filters and sample lines in a relatively short
time.

9 DESCRIPTION
The probes have been designed for easy mounting, safe operation, easy maintenance and a great
variety of applications.
The main features of this probe are: changing the filter element without tools and without necessity of
dismounting the sample line, easy cleaning of the filter housing, cleaning of the sample tube without
dismounting the probe. The big surface filter element is placed inside a heated filter receiving part of
stainless steel.
The M&C gas sample probe SP2000-H320/S is based on the standard sample probe SP2000-H320.
The temperature regulation of the gas sample probe SP2000-H320/S is made via an integrated capil-
lary sensor thermostat adjustable from 50 to 320 °C including an excess temperature limiter and alarm
in case of insufficient temperature. Optionally, the gas sample probe can be delivered with a thermo-
couple FeCu-Ni instead of the thermostat regulator. In this case, an external temperature regulator is
not necessary (eg. 703).
According to the application, it is possible to add sample tubes and pre-filters of different sizes and
versions out of the modular system of M&C probe accessories. All these options are to be mounted
before the probe. In the outlet of the probe, the sample gas is lead via a heated connection adapter
into a non-heated (SP2000-H320/S and SP2000-H320/S1) or into a heated (SP2000-H320/S and
SP2000-H320/S1) collection vessel. Inside the vessel that is made of glass and filled with glass balls
to enlarge the surface, the chemical reaction of the sample gas takes place and the solid particles and
salts are deposited.
On the versions SP2000-H320/S and SP2000-H320/S1 the condensate collected in the collection ves-
sel is pumped out by the peristaltic pump SR25.1G. The condensate effects that the existing solid
contaminations are withdrawn and transmitted outside. Because of the heated connection adapter and
the hot gas flow, the operating temperature inside the collection vessel is increased compared to the
ambient temperature.
Due to the fact that the gas components are solved to a negligible extent in the warm condensate, the
application of this sampling technique in DENOX systems with a low content of NH3(normally a few
ppm) allows the analyse of SO2and NOXwithout important losses. These will be a few ppm only and
can normally be neglected. In order to examine exactly the extent of the losses, you can feed test gas
on the gas sample probe and determine the eventual measuring fault that can be calibrated afterwards.
On version SP2000-H320/S2 the collecting vessel is equipped with a heater in order to avoid chemical
reactions of the sample gas components below a defined temperature as well as to avoid freezing of
the condensate in case the vessel is mounted outside. A heated sample line 3/4-M for max. 200 °C
operating temperature can be connected onto the gas outlet of the collection vessel. The collection
vessel is equipped with a heat isolating protection cover.
9.1 CONSTRUCTION OF THE PROBE
The complete probe is made up of the heated filter part and a sample tube or pre-filter. The filter re-
ceiving part with the surrounding heating jacket is fitted together to a unit with the standard mounting
flange DN65 PN6 and the electrical connecting box mounted laterally .
The heat insulated covering cap is placed on the stainless steel angle plate of the mounting
flange and is fixed with 2 fastening clamps. Thanks to the covering cap, the heat is distributed regularly
over the probe heating and serves at the same time as weather and contact protection. In the probe
outlet the connection adapter with the collecting vessel is mounted. A mounting clamp is avail-
able for the connection of the heated line. On the probes SP2000-H320/S and SP2000-H320/S1 a
peristaltic pump SR25.1 is mounted below the collecting vessel in order to evacuate the condensate.
