    The paramagnetic analyzer uses the property that oxygen is attracted to magnetic fields. It contains two glass spheres in a strong magnetic field that rotate depending on the amount of oxygen present. The more oxygen, the stronger the force and rotation. A sensor detects the rotation and provides a measurement proportional to oxygen levels. It requires no consumables and works by detecting a physical property, but can deteriorate over time from contamination.

    PARAMAGNETIC ANALYZER

    Oxygen is a paramagnetic gas and is attracted into a strong magnetic field. Because this measurement is
    a purely physical effect, nothing is consumed and in principle the cell has an unlimited life. However,
    contamination of the cell by dust, dirt, corrosives or solvents can lead to deterioration.

    The operating principle of the paramagnetic sensor is the paramagnetic susceptibility of the oxygen
    molecule, a physical property which distinguishes oxygen from most other gases. The sensor incorporates
    two nitrogen-filled glass spheres mounted on a rotating suspension. This assembly is suspended in a
    strong magnetic field. The oxygen in the surrounding gas is attracted to the magnetic field, resulting in a
    force on the glass spheres. The strength of the torque acting on the suspension is proportional to the
    oxygen content of the surrounding gases.

    Principle of Operation

    Refer to Figure 1 above. The measuring system is “null-balanced”. First, a photo-sensor that
    receives light reflected from a mirror attached to the suspension assembly senses the "zero" position of
    the suspension assembly as measured in nitrogen. The photo-sensor output is fed back to a coil around
    the assembly of the suspension. This feedback has two objectives.

    First, as oxygen is added into the cell, due to the input current in the coil, the torque acting on
    the suspension assembly is offset by a re-storage torque. The input current is directly proportional to
    the specimen fuel's volume magnetic susceptibility and, thus, to the partial oxygen concentration in the
    sample after calibration. The present thus gives a precise measurement of the oxygen concentration in
    the gas mixture.

    Secondly, the electromagnetic feedback "stretches" the suspension, dampens it heavily and
    increases its natural frequency, making the suspension shock-resistant.

    Calibration

    Since the instrument uses an absolute measuring concept, when designed and tested by the
    manufacturer, no further modification of the device is needed. Factory calibration consists of digital
    adjustment to accept the input signal from the detector cell and to verify that the instrument reads
    correctly on the atmosphere, 20.9%. The device will then be tested for 100% oxygen content to be read
    correctly.

    Applications of Paramagnetic system Oxygen Analyzer

     Low-oxygen concentration control of CDQ plants for steelmaking


     Oxygen concentration control of gas containing a flammable gas
     Safety control (explosion prevention) at various plants
     Measurement of trace oxygen concentration in various manufacturing processes
     City gas quality control
     For combustion control / optimization in Incinerators Hot oil heaters & Regenerators, vital to
    fulfill the EPA & ISO 14001 requirements
