PRINCIPLE

The THC8000 module is composed of a flame ionization

detector placed in a temperature regulated chamber and
coupled with a continuous analysing technology.

Burning of the components containing hydrocarbons by the

hydrogen flame generates an ion current proportional to the
impurities introduced into the gas to be analysed.

This analyser is a standard 19 inch rack module, 4U in

height and 450 mm in depth.

One analog 4-20 mA output provides the total FID DETECTOR EXPLANATION
concentration of hydrocarbons impurities.

construction of a FID.
