Technology

DKG ONE CF4 analyzer is based on combining ultra sensitive cantilever enhanced photoacoustic detection technology with Quantum Cascade Laser source operating at a Mid-IR fundamental spectral absorption line of CF4. This combination provides enough sensitivity to reliably detect the smallest spills of CF4 without any delay. It also givesan exceptionally high level of stability with a re-calibration period ranging from several months up to several years, and thus it offers a low total cost of ownership.

Measurement specifications

Response time: dependent on user configu- rable channel integration time (C.I.T.) and gas exchange routine. From approx. 10 seconds to few minutes depending on averaging time and sampling details.

Detection limit: below 0.1 ppb

Dynamic range: over 5 orders of magnitude (i.e. 100 000 times the detection limit)

Repeatability: less than 1 % of measured value in operational conditions at the calibra- tion concentration

Accuracy: Better than 5% at the calibration concentration. Limited by the calibration gas accuracy.

Temperature stability: ambient temperature change within the operational temperature range will not cause drift

Pressure stability: Sample gas pressure change within the pressure range will not cause drift
