3. Structure and function

3.1 Structure

The IMR100 consists of:

 1 in-situ-probe
 1 weld-in flange

3.1.1 Probe

The IMR100 splits into probe rod and a probe head. The probe rod is a dynamic pressure probe.

3.2 Function

The flow measuring device IMR100 is a highly sensitive system for continuous, in-situ flow measurement.
The measuring gas is measured in the exhaust gas flow by means of the dynamic pressure probe rod of the
IMR100. (see 3.2.1 Measuring principle page 8). Thereby the differential pressure is continuously measured
via the dynamic pressure probe.
The signal resulting from the differential pressure is a degree for the velocity respectively the flow of the
exhaust gas.
The micro controller integrated in the control unit produces a signal in proportion to the flow which is provided
as 4 … 20 mA – signal. Moreover the present measuring value and a line diagram are shown on the display
of the control unit. By means of the keyboard different parameters (e.g. with regard to the display) can be
entered and adjusted.

3.2.1 Measuring principle

The differential pressure via a dynamic pressure probe is a degree for the velocity of the exhaust gas. The
flow of the exhaust gas can be determined in relation to the cross-section of the exhaust gas channel at the
measuring point.

4. Installation

4.1 Selection of the measuring point

The place of installation of the probe has to meet the requirements of local valid guidelines (e.g. EN 13284-1,
in Germany: VDI 2066 page 1).

Fig.4.1: Entry and exit section

Basically it has to be considered that the flue gas distribution must prevail as homogeneously as possible at
the measuring point in order to get a representative measurement of the parameters across the channel
cross – section.
4.2 Assembly of the weld-in sleeve

The weld-in sleeve of the IMR100 is installed according to 4.2: Weld-in sleeve. The installation position of the
probe is horizontal or vertical from top.

7.1 Disassembly

The probe will be de-installed according to Fig. 7.1: Disassembly. Thereby the power supply must be
interrupted. Hereinafter the screws can be unscrewed and the probe can be taken out.

7.2 Disposal

HINT
The disposal of the IMR100 has to be done according to locally valid environmental protection
regulations.

In case of disposal the IMR100 has to be treated as hazardous waste.

8. Device calibration

8.1 Generally

As highly sensitive measuring device the IMR100 is subject to slight variations of the used elements and
materials. Therefore the IMR100 has to be calibrated for the zero point before the first putting into operation
as well as after cleaning and reconstructing works at the probe.

HINT
 This calibration refers exclusively to the electronic and the pressure transmitter of the IMR100.

HINT
 At delivery the IMR100 has already been pre-calibrated.

8.2 Check differential pressure transmitter

 Switch-off IMR100

 Un-install the analyzer

 Switch-on IMR100

 Switch menu to Differential pressure (see 6.4.1.2 Setup | Output mode page 19)

 Wait until the reading stabilizes at 0 (Zero = 4 mA = 0 mbar)

 If necessary adjust by turning the Potentiometer

 Return Menu to standard display (see 6.4.1.2 Setup | Output mode page 19))

 Switch-off IMR100

 Install IMR100 (see 4.3 Assembly of the probe page 10)

9. Velocity and flow calibration

9.1 Generally

Due to different, technological conditions at the concerning measuring places the detection of the measuring
values is subject to most various influences. Variable influencing factors are e.g. channel cross-section, gas
velocity, temperature and probe length. So for each case of application of IMR100 another curve of the output
signal results referring to the exhaust gas velocity.

Therefore it is required that the measuring signal is adjusted to the real velocity or flow of the exhaust gas at
the measuring point by means of reference measurements (in Germany according to VDI 2066). The results
of the calibration, that means the parameters, can be directly entered into the IMR100.
9.2 Mathematical correlation

The calculation of the velocity or flow will be done according to the following mathematic correlation:

v Velocity of the exhaust gases in [m/s]

2  p A, D Calibration constants
v  A D
Zeta  p
Differential pressure via the dynamic pressure probe in
[mbar]
Zeta Probe factor

Zeta B v  C v  E
2
 Density of exhaust gas in [kg/m³]
B, C, E Calibration constants probe profile

v Flow of the exhaust gas in [m³/h]

v  v  A v Velocity of the exhaust gas in [m/s]

Cross-section of the exhaust gas channel at the
A
measuring point in [m²]

9.3 Execution of the calibration

In order to execute the reference measurements the following steps are recommended:

 check the zero point of the ∆p-Transmitter (see 8. Device calibration page 29).

 Execute reference measurement (in Germany it is done by an approved measuring institute in case
of a dust measurement required by authorities.)

 Record analogue signal velocity and form average values over the period of reference
measurements. The calibration parameter A and D have to be the following standard values for
calibration :

A= 1
D= 0

 Determine parameter A and D out of the correlation.

 Enter parameter A and D (see 6.4.4 Calibration parameter page 26).

10. Maintenance

10.1 Maintenance

HINT
Warranty claims can only be granted if maintenance works have been done in accordance with
 the instructions.

The maintenance works aim at:

 Preserving the measuring exactness of IMR100,

 Granting the operating safety,

 Increasing the lifetime of the measuring device.

Moreover maintenance works are a basis for guarantee items.

10.1.1 Maintenance works

Minimum period Activity

6 months Cleaning of the probe
Check zero point ∆p-transmitter (see 8.2 Check differential pressure
transmitter page 29)
Table 10.1: Maintenance works

10.2 Cleaning

The flow measuring device IMR100 has to be cleaned at least every 6 months. The frequency of cleaning
works to be done depends on the chosen measuring position respectively the measuring media (especially
the dust content) and on the environmental and climatic conditions.

For all cleaning works at IMR100 it is valid:

WARNING
Danger of burn!
The flow profile can be heated up extremely by the measuring gas. Before the IMR100 is de-
installed and cleaned, it must be switched off and the probe has to be cooled down.

WARNING
Risk of damaging the ∆p-transmitters!
Disconnect the ∆ P hoses before cleaning the metal rod (see Fig. 4.6: Electric connection 24
VDC)!

The flow profile of the probe can be cleaned, brushed or blown out depending on the degree of pollution.
11. Error messages and error elimination

HINT
If failures or errors occur, which cannot be eliminated by the measures described hereinafter,
contact the manufacturer (see cover inside).

The IMR100 supplies status signals for monitoring, signalling error states and error search. These are
provided at the display and at the status contacts as potential-free contact. All errors are written in
chronological order into the error list (see 6.4.5 Error page 26).
