Remarks

– The analyzer performance characteristics have been

determined according to IEC 61207-1:2010 “Expression of

performance of gas analyzers– Part 1: General”. They are

based on nitrogen as the associated gas. Compliance with

these characteristics when measuring other gas mixtures

can only be assured if their composition is known.

– All specifications refer to an optical path length (OPL) of

1 meter, tested in ABB’s test and calibration jig. However,

application-dependent variations may occur. The specific

detection limit, minimum and maximum measurement range

for a specific application will depend on the gas conditions

(pressure, temperature and gas composition) and optical

path length. Minimum measurement range, maximum

pressure and maximum temperature cannot necessarily be

realized simultaneously under all conditions.

– The maximum pressure and maximum temperature given

are physical (spectroscopic) limits.

– Applications exceeding the above given spectroscopic

limitation might be possible on request.

Introduction

Application and design

The LS4000 is an in situ cross-duct analyzer for measuring

gas component concentrations. It applies the highly selective

optical measuring principle of tunable diode laser (TDL) ab

sorption spectroscopy. The LS4000 is a stand-alone system

and is approved for use in hazardous areas according to

international standards.

The analyzer consists of a transmitter unit with a laser light

source and a receiver unit with a photodetector. Both units are

mounted opposite each other on the process pipe or stack

and are connected by a junction box.

Measurement principle – TDLAS

The LS4000 employs the optical measuring technique of

absorption spectroscopy, which utilizes the fact that a specific

gas absorbs specific light wavelengths.

The light beam is emitted from a tunable laser diode located in

the transmitter unit. The laser light passes through the process

gas and strikes the photodetector in the receiver unit. The

measured gas component present in the optical path absorbs

the laser light, attenuating the light received.

A sophisticated signal algorithm processes the amount of light

attenuation and calculates the gas concentration on the basis

of the Beer-Lambert law. The influence of temperature and

pressure variations is eliminated by dynamic automatic correction.

How it works – measuring principle

The LS4000 employs the optical measuring technique of absorption spectroscopy, which utilizes the fact

that a specific gas absorbs specific light wavelengths.

The light beam is emitted from a tunable laser diode located in the transmitter unit.

The laser light passes through the process gas and strikes the photodetector in the receiver unit.

The measured gas component present in the optical path absorbs the laser light, attenuating the light

received.

A sophisticated signal algorithm processes the amount of light attenuation and calculates the gas

concentration on the basis of the Beer-Lambert law.

The influence of temperature and pressure variations is eliminated by dynamic automatic correction.

Sample components and measurement ranges

The LS4000 laser analyzer has one physical measurement range per sample component.

O2 from 0…1 to 0…100 Vol%

Typical applications

− Process and safety monitoring

− Combustion control

− Control of flue gas abatement equipment (e.g. ammonia slip measurements)

− Emission monitoring

Typical industries served

− Chemical and petrochemical industry

− Power industry

− Iron and steel industry

International certifications

− ATEX Zone 1

− IECEx Zone 1

− CSA Class I, Division 1

Suitable for harsh process conditions

LS4000 applies a non-contact, optical technique, which allows the measurement of corrosive, toxic and

hazardous gas streams directly in the process. The laser analyzer is suitable for measurements at elevated

temperatures up to 1500 °C (2732 °F) and pressures up to 20 bar (290 psi).

The influence of temperature and pressure variations is eliminated by automatic dynamic correction.

Fast and direct

A sampling and conditioning system is unnecessary since the instrument is directly installed on the

process (in situ).

This results in a typical response time of 2 seconds, providing better loop control and faster detection of

critical conditions.

The in situ laser analyzer is ideally suited for process optimization and safety measurements.

Safe, compact and easy

− No purging for installations in hazardous areas – the analyzer includes flameproof housing (Ex-d) with

international certifications

− No nitrogen purging of the analyzer housing for O2 measurement

− Insensitive to vibrations through compact and lightweight design

− Ease of maintenance

The LS4000 is an in situ cross-duct analyzer for measuring gas component concentrations.

It applies the highly selective, optical measuring principle of tunable diode laser (TDL)

absorption spectroscopy.

The LS4000 is a stand-alone system and is approved for use in hazardous areas according

to international standards. The device consists of a transmitter unit with a laser light source and a receiver

unit with a photodetector. The two units are mounted opposite each other on the process pipe or stack

and are connected by a junction box.

The advantages to you:

High precision

Due to the narrow spectral width of the laser beam and the narrow scan window, only the absorption by

the target gas component is measured. Consequently, high selectivity and accuracy are achieved and the

measurement is virtually cross-interference free.

Suitable for harsh process conditions

LS4000 applies a non-contact, optical technique, which allows the measurement of corrosive, toxic and

hazardous gas streams directly in the process. The laser analyzer is suitable for measurements at elevated

temperatures up to 1500 °C (2732 °F) and pressures up to 20 bar (290 psi).

The influence of temperature and pressure variations is eliminated by automatic dynamic correction.
