Gas Sampling System:

  • Probe or Inlet System: GAO’s probe is used to extract a sample of the gas from the environment or process being analyzed.
  • Sample Line: Our tubing system carries the extracted gas sample from the probe to the analyzer.

Gas Detection Unit:

  • Gas Sensor(s): GAO’s various types of sensors are used to detect specific gases. Common sensor types include infrared (IR), electrochemical, catalytic bead, and photoionization detectors (PID).
  • Detector Electronics: Our circuitry processes signals from the sensors and converts them into measurable values.

Electronic Components:

  • Signal Processing Unit: Our microprocessor or microcontroller can handle the signal processing, data acquisition, and control functions.
  • Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC): Ours convert analog signals from sensors into digital signals for processing.
  • Digital Signal Processor (DSP): Our DSP is used for advanced signal processing and filtering.
  • Communication Interface: We enable the gas analyzer to communicate with external devices or control systems. Common interfaces include RS-232, RS-485, Ethernet, and analog outputs.

Display and User Interface:

  • Display Panel: Our analyzers shows real-time gas concentrations, diagnostics, and other relevant information.
  • User Interface: We have input devices like buttons, keypads, or touchscreens for user interaction.
  • Alarm System: We have audible, or visual alarm triggered when gas concentrations exceed predefined levels.

Power Supply:

  • Power Management System: Our analyzers regulate and distribute power to various components of the gas analyzer.
  • Battery or External Power Source: Depending on the application, our gas analyzers can be powered by batteries or external power sources.

Mechanical Components:

  • Enclosure: GAO Tek gas analyzers protects the internal components from environmental factors and potentially hazardous conditions.
  • Flow Control System: Our FCS manage the flow of the gas sample through the system, ensuring a consistent and representative sample reaches the sensors.
  • Cooling/Heating System: Our gas analyzers require temperature control to maintain optimal sensor performance.

Calibration System:

  • Calibration Gas Source: We used periodic calibration to ensure the accuracy of the measurements.
  • Calibration Circuitry: GAO Tek’s gas analyzer controls the calibration process and adjusts the readings based on the calibration gas concentrations.

Data Logging and Storage:

  • Memory: Our DLS store calibration data, measurement history, and other relevant information.
  • Data Logging System: Our DLS record gas concentration measurements over time.

Software:

  • Operating System: Our OS controls the overall operation of the gas analyzer.
  • Control and Analysis Software: Our CAS manages data, performs calculations, and allows for configuration and calibration.
