Introduction

The Endura AZ20 is the latest in a long line of high-quality, combustion gas analyzers from ABB.

The sensor, based on a zirconium oxide cell, is mounted at the tip of the probe that is inserted in the flue duct. The resulting direct, in situ measurement provides accurate and rapid oxygen reading for combustion control optimization and emissions monitoring.

Probe Lengths up to 4.0 m (13.1 ft.)

A wide range of probe insertion lengths from 0.5 to 4.0 m (1.7 to 13.1 ft.) enable installation to the optimum measuring point for accurate oxygen measurement within the duct; even in the largest flue gas ducts and stacks.

A comprehensive range of mounting flanges provide simple installation when plant-wide standard flanges are required or when replacing existing probes.

The transmitter can be probe- or remote-mounted at distances of up to 100 m (328 ft.), thus providing versatile system options for all applications. The probe-mounted transmitter option provides the lowest cost of installation. However, the remote-mounted transmitter provides flexibility when the operationally ideal probe location does not provide easy access for the user.

Close Coupled Sampling System

The sensor assembly is mounted on the process wall and the probe and filter assembly extends into the process gas stream. A dcs-sis.com pneumatic injector is used to draw a sample from the process stream and feed it to the sensor head.

Oxygen analysis is performed by an industry standard zirconia cell.

Carefully metered dilution air is added and then calibrated for COe before the high sensitivity catalytic sensor is used to measure unburned combustibles.

The dilution air ensures a sufficient supply of oxygen to allow the COe sensor to function properly under abnormal process conditions where extremely low combustion oxygen levels may occur.

The tightly coupled extraction system enables tight temperature and pressure control of the sensor and sample gas.

This provides a stable background for target gas measurements, which improves the accuracy of the measurements.

Flame arrestors are installed in the sampling path to prevent flashbacks during startup when the combustible content of the process gas exceeds the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL), thus ensuring safe operation.

Flashback is prevented if the combustible content of the process gas exceeds the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) during startup, shutdown, or process disturbances.

The sampling channel is kept hot to prevent acid gas condensation and corrosion.

.Engineered to meet the latest industry standards, the new Carlon® Blue™ fan-rated ceiling boxes from ABB Installation Products help protect and power residential and light commercial installations

.Supports growing demand for energy-efficient ceiling fans in home improvements and new construction

.Sustainably produced in Tennessee, extensively tested and backed by an Environmental Product Declaration, Carlon® Blue™ non-metallic electrical boxes are trusted by contractors and homeowners

More than 70% of American households have at least one ceiling fan, and nearly a quarter use four or more. Increasing demand for energy-efficient ceiling fans with integrated technology and smart features is spurring the need for properly rated support. The new Carlon® Blue™ fan-rated ceiling boxes from ABB Installation Products are engineered for easy installation and to safely support a fan’s weight, vibration and movement, in compliance with the latest National Electric Code (NEC) outlet box requirements for ceiling-suspended fans.

Improperly installed ceiling fans lead to an estimated 20.000 injuries annually in the United States. To help improve home safety, the 2020 NEC requires ceiling outlet boxes in homes, including rooms where ceiling fans may be installed now or later, to either be listed for the sole support of ceiling-suspended fans or provide access to structural framing capable of supporting a ceiling fan bracket. ABB’s Carlon Blue ceiling boxes are rated for a 50-pound light fixture and 35-pound ceiling fan, with vibration-resistant screws through reinforced metal brackets that provide greater strength than plastic alone.

“Ceiling fans are used year-round in millions of homes and are often an overlooked safety risk. Our new Carlon Blue fan-rated ceiling boxes address the needs of contractors and homeowners for a safe, smart and sustainable solution,” said Jack Bellissimo, Senior Vice President, Product Management, Marketing & Strategy, ABB Installation Products. “Authentic Carlon boxes in our distinctive blue color are responsibly produced in Tennessee and meet the 2020 NEC code to perform safely and reliably.”
