1.3. Restriction for use
The AMI Deltacon DG is designed for determination of:
specific (total) conductivity
cation (acid) conductivity after the cation exchanger
degassed conductivity after a sample reboiler in water-steam-
cycles only.
It calculates the pH value and the concentration of the alkaline sub-
stance (NH3, Morpholine, etc.) if an alkaline substance is present in
the water.
It is not suitable for pH determination in high purity water before
alkalization reagent addition.
Conditions for pH calculation:
only 1 alkalization agent in the sample
the contamination is mostly NaCl
phosphate concentration is < 0.5 ppm
pH value is > 7.5, and < 11.5
No sand. No oil.
The sample must not contain any particles, which may block the flow
cell. Sufficient sample flow is coercive for the correct function of the
instrument.

Application
Range
The AMI Deltacon DG is a complete monitoring system for the auto-
matic, continuous measurement of the conductivity before (specific
conductivity) and after a cation exchanger (cationic or acid conduc-
tivity) and the conductivity of the re-boiled sample (degassed con-
ductivity).
Based on difference conductivity measurement, the pH of the sam-
ple can be calculated.
The application range covers water steam cycles except neutral
treatment.
Special
Features
Many temperature compensation curves for specific conductiv-
ity measurement:
– Strong acids (HCI)
– Strong bases (NaOH)
– Ammonia
– Morpholine
– Ethanolamines

Features

memory.
Over voltage protection of in- and outputs.
Galvanic separation of measuring inputs and signal outputs.
Measuring
principle
When a voltage is set between two electrodes in an electrolyte solu-
tion, the result is an electric field which exerts force on the charged
ions: the positively charged cations move towards the negative elec-
trode (cathode) and the negatively charged anions towards the posi-
tive electrode (anode). The ions, by way of capture or release of
electrons at the electrodes, are discharged and so a current I flows
through this cycle and the Ohms law V = I×R applies. From the total
resistance R of the current loop, only the resistance of the electrolyte
solution, respectively its conductivity 1/R, is of interest.
The cell constant of the sensor is determined by the manufacturer
and is printed on the sensor label. If the cell constant has been pro-
grammed in the transmitter, the instrument measures correctly. No
calibration is required, the sensor is factory calibrated. Measuring
unit is S/cm or S/m.
Specific
Conductivity
Conductivity from all ions in the sample, mainly the alkalization
agent. The contribution of impurities is masked by the alkalization
agent.

AMI Deltacon DG
Product Description

Cation Con-
ductivity (Acid
Conductivity)
The alkalization agent is removed in the cation column. All cationic
ions are exchanged with H+, all anionic impurities (ions with negative
charge) pass through the column unchanged.
Degassed
Conductivity
After the heat exchanger the sample is heated up to 0.5 °C below the
boiling point. Hereby volatile components are removed from the
sample, mainly carbon dioxide. Thus, the degassed cation conduc-
tivity is a measure of the impurities without a CO2 error.
Temperature
compensation
The mobility of ions in water increase with higher temperature which
enlarges the conductivity. Therefore, the temperature is measured si-
multaneously by an integrated Pt1000 temperature sensor and the
conductivity is compensated to 25 °C. Several temperature compen-
sation curves, designed for different water compositions, can be cho-
sen.
After cation exchanger (cation conductivity), the temperature com-
pensation curve strong acids has to be set.
For more information see: Influence of Temperature on Electrical
Conductivity, PPChem (2012).
Standard
Temperature
The displayed conductivity value is compensated to 25 °C standard
temperature.
Correction or
calibration
Not necessary.
Auto zero is done automatically each day at 0.30 at night.
Operation The sample enters at the sample inlet [O] and flows through the flow
regulating valve [I], where the flow rate can be adjusted.
With the first conductivity sensor [A] the specific conductivity (sc) of
the sample is measured. Then the sample is led through the cation
exchanger bottle [P] where all alkalization agent is eliminated. After-
wards the cation conductivity (cc) of the sample is measured with the
second conductivity sensor [B].
The sample leaves the measuring cell through the flow meter [G] and
is led through the heating element of the heat exchanger [L], where
the sample is pre-heated.The pre-heated sample flows then into the
heater [N] where it is heated up to its boiling point. Vapor leaves the
heater via the pressure relief tube [E]. The boiled sample flows via
tube [M] back to the heat exchanger where it is cooled down. Then it
flows via tube [R] into flow cell [H] where the degassed conductivity
is measured.
The temperature is measured with the temperature sensors integrat-
ed in the conductivity sensors.

3.3. Connecting Sample and Waste
3.3.1 Swagelok Fitting Stainless Steel at Sample Inlet
Preparation Cut the tube to length and deburr it. The tube must be straight and
free from blemishes for approximately 1,5 x tube diameter from the
end.
Lubrication with lubricating oil, MoS2, Teflon etc. is recommended for
the assembly and reassembly of bigger sized unions (thread, com-
pression cone).
Installation 1 Insert the compression ferrule [C] and the compression cone [D]
into the union nut [B].
2Screw on the union nut onto the body, do not tighten it.
3Push the stainless steel pipe through the union nut as far as it
reaches the stop of the body.
4Mark the union nut at 6 o’clock position.
5While holding the fitting body steady, tighten the nut union 1¼ ro-
tation using an open ended spanner.
