SOLUTIONS & OPTIONS IN DETAIL

The ELEMENTRAC CHS-r analyzer comes with various solutions for reliable, and precise carbon, hydrogen and sulfur analysis.

Included: Two Anhydrone Columns

For reliable analysis of carbon and sulfur, the combustion gases must be freed from water vapor prior to IR detection. The CHS-r elemental analyzer has two drying columns filled with magnesium perchlorate to reliably prevent absorption effects in large sample volumes. In the case of TOC analyses, a chemical tube can also be used as a halogen trap to reliably absorb acid residues and halogens.

Included: Low blank sample port

The ELEMENTRAC CS-r and CHS-r analyzer series ensures safe and precise elemental analysis even of samples with low carbon content in the resistance furnace. Due to the optimized geometry of the sample port with reduced diameter, as well as an oxygen purge at the sample inlet, the CO2 blank value of the atmosphere during sample introduction is drastically reduced, thus enabling reliable carbon analysis in the low measuring range.

Option: Second Furnace (ELTRA Dual Furnace Concept)

The CHS-r elemental analyzer can be connected in any configuration to an additional furnace without detectors. This principle, known from the ELEMENTRAC CS-d, allows fast fractionated analysis by applying different temperatures and provides safety for high sample throughput.

Option: TIC Module

Depending on the sample, carbon can also be present in the two different fractions TOC (Total Organic Carbon) or TIC (Total Inorganic Carbon). The CS-r elemental analyzer can be combined with ELTRA’s TIC module to determine the TIC content via acidification. This combination enables reliable, direct TIC analysis in soils, building materials and other products in compliance with DIN EN 15936.

Software

The comprehensive Windows-based ELEMENTS software is an essential part of all ELEMENTRAC generation elemental analyzers.

A central window (analysis and results) is the starting point from which all functionalities required for the daily routine are easily accessible. From here it is possible to group and export analyzed samples, or register and analyze new ones. The user may call up various subordinate functionalities like application settings, calibration, diagnosis, or status.

TYPICAL SAMPLE MATERIALS

Biomass, building materials, coal/ coke, fuels, oil, ores, plant materials, plastics, rubber, soil, soot, tobacco, waste.

FUNCTIONAL PRINCIPLE

In the elemental analyzer CHS-r the sample is burnt in an oxygen atmosphere at temperatures up to 1,550 °C. The furnace temperature can be freely selected in steps of 1 °C. The combustion gasses (CO2, H2O, SO2) coming from the furnace and first pass through a dust filter and then into the heated H2O infrared cell. After the water vapor is chemically absorbed, the dried CO2 and SO2 gas is detected in the additional infrared cells. Depending on the configuration, it is possible to combine up to three infrared cells with different sensitivities.
