1.0 M201E AMMONIA ANALYZER This manual is to be used in conjunction with the M200E NOx Analyzer manual, p/n 04410 supplied with this instrument. It is important that you familiarize yourself with the workings of the NOx analyzer before proceeding with NH3 measurements. The M201E ammonia analyzer consists of a modified M200E nitrogen oxide analyzer and an M501 NH3, ammonia converter.

M201E and M501 NH3, with Zero and Span Valve Options Pneumatic Flow 1.1 THEORY OF OPERATION The Teledyne-API Model M201E analyzer measures ammonia by oxidizing it to nitric oxide by the following reaction: 4NH3 + 5O2 4NO + 6H2O The resulting nitric oxide is then measured by the chemiluminescent reaction with ozone. Consult Section 10.

M201E Ammonia Analyzer Teledyne API Model M201E NH3 Analyzer Operator Manual signal. This process improves zero baseline stability by minimizing the effect of PMT sensor drift. 1.1.2 Purging the Reaction Cell As with many chemical reactions the conversion of ammonia in the presence of other oxides of nitrogen is complicated. It is important to note that the valve DWELL time for an AZERO measurement has a default setting of 8 seconds.
Teledyne API Model M201E NH3 Analyzer Operator Manual M201E Ammonia Analyzer These rules apply also to your calibrator’s internal plumbing. It is highly recommended that you use a M702SS calibrator in conjunction with the M201E. The calibrator has stainless steel plumbing throughout. The M700 calibrator contains Teflon tubing and internal MFC’s that can be affected by the ammonia gas, therefore, the M700 calibrator is not recommend for use with the M201E analyzer.

2.0 CALIBRATION PROCEDURE This section begins with a high-level overview of the calibration procedure for the M201E analyzer. Details are provided starting in Section 2.1: First, take the time to read the M200E manual to familiarize yourself with the Chemiluminescence process. It is important to remember that the analyzer is merely measuring different levels of nitric oxide sample gas on three separate channels (TNx, NOx, NO).
Calibration Procedure Teledyne API Model M201E NH3 Analyzer Operator Manual The first time bottled ammonia is connected to the gas dilution system, regulator/calibrator, the TNx reading may take a number of hours to stabilize. 2.1 ZEROING THE ANALYZER The analyzer can be zeroed by either applying zero air straight to the sample port or through the optional Zero/Span valves, if installed.
Teledyne API Model M201E NH3 Analyzer Operator Manual Calibration Procedure Table 2-2. Zero Calibration Procedure - Zero Gas Through ZERO Port Step No. Action 1. Press CALZ 2 Table 2.1 Comment The M201E enters the calibrate mode from sample mode. The zero gas is supplied through the ZERO inlet port on the rear panel of the M501 NH3,. Follow Steps 2 to 8 in Table 2-1. Notes: 2.2 Since the zero gas concentration is defined as 0 ppb, it is not necessary to enter the expected concentration values.
Calibration Procedure Teledyne API Model M201E NH3 Analyzer Operator Manual operator then manually spans the TNx and NOx channels individually through the user interface. The following Tables outline the manual steps necessary to span the analyzer. Table 2-3. NO Calibration Procedure – NO Gas Through the SAMPLE Port Important: Each channel (TNx and NOx) must be Spanned individually Step No. Action 1. Press CAL 2. Channel Selection 3.

Follow Steps 2 to 5 in Table 2-3. Notes: Both the TNx and NOx channels must be spanned individually with nitric oxide gas.
Calibration Procedure 2.3 Teledyne API Model M201E NH3 Analyzer Operator Manual SPANNING THE ANALYZER WITH AMMONIA GAS The most important criterion an individual can avail themselves of when spanning an analyzer with ammonia gas is “patience”. Ammonia is a very sticky gas and the response of the analyzer/calibration system depends on a number of factors.

3.0 CONFIGURABLE ANALOG OUTPUT OVERVIEW There are three different methods to extract concentration data from the E-Series analyzers. By one method, the operator can set up an iDas (internal data acquisition) configuration either through the user display or using TAPI’s windows based software called APICOM. The analyzer stores data internally, which is available later for download through the RS-232 or Ethernet port.

5.0 ALARMS AND CAUTIONS A functional block diagram of the analyzer is shown in Figure 5-1. 5.1 ALARM During initial warm up the internal Zero/Span factory option may exhibit a “Block Temperature” warning. This can be cleared once the block temperature stabilizes at 50 degrees Celsius. The block temperature is the actual temperature of the IZS block manifold inside the M501 NH3, converter.

7.0 CALCULATING MOLY CONVERTER EFFICIENCIES 7.1 PURPOSE To provide instructions on how to calculate the efficiency of a Moly converter when using a GPT method of testing converters, by using the US EPA method, where the actual concentration of ozone is not a factor in the accuracy of the calculation of the converter efficiency. This procedure is based on the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40, Chapter I, subchapter C, Part 50, Appendix F. 7.

Remove the converter bypass and install the converter back into the NOx sample stream, such that the NO sample goes through the converter again and allow the machine to stabilize. Write down your NOx value on your data sheet on line 4 AND line 6 of the data sheet. 6. Note the NO value and input that on line 9 of the data sheet. 7. Subtract line 3 from line 4 and write that number down on line 5.
