Monte Curcio instruments. API 200AU - Nitrogen Oxides Analyser

Monte Curcio (MCU) instruments: API Teledyne 200AU nitrogen oxide analyser. The Model 200AU uses chemiluminescence detection, coupled with microprocessor technology to provide ambient nitric oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and the total nitrogen oxides (NOx). It calculates the amount of NO by measuring the amount of chemiluminescence given off when the sample gas is exposed to ozone (O3). A catalytic-reactive converter converts any NO2 in the sample gas to NO, which is then measured as above (including the original NO in the sample gas) and reported as NOx. NO2 is calculated as the difference between NOX and NO.

Statement: Calibration of the instrument is performed in several ways. The recommended Span Calibration is done with no span gas. Span Checks are periodically done with either NO only, NO2 only or a mixture of NO and NO2 (GPT). Zero air used for all calibration procedures, including GPT, have 1 ppt NO and NO2, less than 1 ppt of major interferents such as SO2, NH3, and hydrocarbons and a dew point of -5° C or less.//Ref.
