The right analysis

02/12/2010 | Channel: Equipment

ABB Measurement Products has launched its next generation of combustion gas analysers for industrial and utility boiler applications.

Featuring a revised sensor design and an increased choice of probe lengths up to four metres (13.12 feet), the Endura AZ20 expands ABB’s offering to a new range of high temperature applications up to 800°C.

A key feature of the Endura AZ20 is its enhanced robust design. Manufactured using a new ceramic-to-steel bonding process, the AZ20 offers improved resistance to thermal stresses and shocks compared to a conventional brazed design. This enables it to be used in a wider range of applications subject to sudden variations in process temperature, as well as offering a gas tight bond throughout its operating temperature range.

Operation has been simplified by the use of ABB’s new universal Human Machine Interface (HMI), which has now been extended across its range of instrumentation products. Enabling operators to easily scroll through and select options, the HMI simplifies operation, maintenance and training, reducing cost of ownership and providing a consistent user experience. ‘Through-the-glass’ control technology provides a local operator interface for inputting short, quick data for all user specific parameters without removing the transmitter cover.
