Product Description:

Ideal for monitoring levels of artificial Concept smoke and particulate levels in the exhaust gas of industrial combustion or air filtration processes.

The CEL-046 is an optical instrument designed to measure the concentration of particulate matter in an exhaust gas passing through a duct, stack or flue; typically the exhaust gas from an industrial combustion process or air filtration system.

The CEL-046 Opacity Monitor uses the double pass light transmission measurement technique, with a folded beam Transceiver / Reflector arrangement, to measure particulate, dust and smoke emissions. A light beam emitted from the Transceiver (TRX) passes across the duct, stack or flue to a Reflector, which then returns the light to the Transceiver where the intensity of the received light is measured. Increased particulate density in the stack gas attenuates the transmitted light and causes the intensity of the received light to fall. This reduction in intensity can be presented as % opacity or when calibrated against standard reference measurements, can be used to calculate the particulate concentration and present a reading in mg/m3.

The light source in the Transceiver is a high intensity, high reliability green LED which provides long life and stable intensity. The transmitted light beam is pulsed to give complete immunity to ambient light levels. The intensity of the transmitted light is monitored at source so that any variations in the emitted light level are compensated in the received signal. The Transceiver has on board temperature measurement to provide stability over the ambient operating temperature range.

The CEL-046 is an intelligent analyser which can operate as a “stand-alone” instrument consisting of the Transceiver head (TRX) and Reflector head, with all electrical connections (including outputs such as the alarm relays, 4-20 mA analogue outputs and ModBus) being made inside the TRX head. As a stand-alone instrument the CEL-046 is set-up and controlled using the supplied utility software, installed on a PC or laptop, and connected via the USB connector on the RX.

The CEL-046 is also available with the DSCU operator interface. When supplied with the DSCU all power supply and output connections are made in the DSCU rather than the TRX. The DSCU is a wall mounted control unit consisting of a numeric / directional keypad, a two line LCD display and a terminal compartment, which allows full command and control of the instrument. The DSCU is suitable for mounting locally to the instrument or remotely, such as in a control room.

The CEL-046 has no moving parts, is of rugged design and has an excellent reliability record. Regular maintenance simply involves cleaning the optical surfaces which are easily accessible due to our latched head design. Both the TRX and Reflector heads are supplied with an air purge body, which when connected to a high volume source of clean air, keeps the contaminated stack gas away for the lens surfaces. An Aluminium air purge body is available for use on standard installations and a more advanced Stainless Steel air purge body is available for more demanding installations.

Testimonials

Bayou Cane Fire Protection District

Bayou Cane Fire Protection District, uses the ViCount Smoke generator in our training facility. We find that it produces vast amounts of thick simulated smoke for our search and rescue training evolutions. We also use it in combination with our live burn evolutions. We would recommend this product to anyone looking for a smoke generator.
