Analyzer LaserGas™ Q SO2 (QCL)

Description

NEO Monitors LaserGas™ Q SO2 (QCL edition) is using Tuneable Laser AbsorptionSpectroscopy(TLAS) i.e a non-contact optical measurement method employing solid-state laser sources. The sensor remains unaffected by contaminants corrosives and does not require regular maintenance. The absence of extractive conditioning systems further improves availability of the measurements and eliminates errors related to sample handling. The  monitor is mounted directly onto flanges, which include purge gas connections and a tilting mechanism for easy alignment. Continuous purge flow prevents dust and other contamination from settling on the optical windows. Once power and data lines are connected, measurements are performed in real-time.
