“FIDOR” stands for “FIDOR / FIDOR I” in these Operating Instructions.

3.2 Product characteristics

GMS800 FIDOR are hydrocarbon analyzers for continuous monitoring of flue gases in
industrial combustion plants (emission measuring system).
The device operates in extractive mode, i.e. the measured gas is withdrawn from the gas
duct using a gas sampling probe and fed to the analysis system via a (heated) line.

3.2.1 Measuring principle

Fig. 4: Measuring principle - flame ionization detector

Combustion air
(Instrument air)

Sample gas Fuel gas

● The FIDOR uses a flame ionization detector (FID) for measuring the hydrocarbons.
● A hydrogen flame fed with fuel gas and combustion air burns in the FID in an electrical
field. The sample gas is routed into this flame.
● The hydrocarbons contained in the sample gas are split; the produced hydrocarbon frag-
ments are ionized. A stream of ions forms in the electric field and this electrical stream is
measured.
● The measuring signal is proportional to the number of the listed, non-oxidized hydrocar-
bon atoms. Hydrocarbon atoms which are already oxidized are only partially detected.
CO and CO2 are ineffective.
● The quantitative correlation between the measurement signal and the hydrocarbon con-
centration in the sample gas is determined by performing reference measurements with
test gases which do not contain any hydrocarbons (zero gas) and/or of which the hydro-
carbon concentration is known exactly (reference gas – e.g. 80 ppm propane in air).
● Only a small portion of the sample gas is burnt for analysis.
The major portion is diluted with the instrument air and combustion air, and routed out-
side via the exhaust gas line.

3.2.3 Feeding purge gas to the enclosure

▸ Feed the desired purge gas through the enclosure via the purge gas connections, see
“Dimensions (GMS840)”, page 78.

3.2.4 Hydrogen shutoff: Pneumatic supply fitting GMS840 FIDOR (accessory)

If the instrument air pressure drops to < 2 bar, the hydrogen shutoff interrupts the hydrogen
feed to the enclosure GMS840 FIDOR.

3.3 Method of operation

The FIDOR operates independently.
● Automatic ignition of the flame and regulation of the operating pressures.
● Automatic start-up.
● The operational states are signaled by status signals.
● The FIDOR signals an uncertain operational state with status indicators.
The FIDOR remains in Measuring mode.
● Should a malfunction occur, the FIDOR switches automatically to “Failure”. The heated
line and the sample gas path in the FIDOR are automatically purged with zero gas in this
state.
FIDOR measures the total of all hydrocarbons. Measurement is not component-specific.
The measurement signal is proportional to the number of organically bound C atoms of the
hydrocarbons in the sample gas. A different sensitivity to the hydrocarbon atoms is
reflected by the response factor.
Electronic pressure regulators keep the sample gas inlet and outlet pressure constant. The
combustion air and the fuel gas are also regulated to constant flows with electronic control-
lers.
The sample gas is suctioned in with an ejector pump.
When FIDOR is switched on: The pressures are regulated after the nominal temperatures
have been reached. Combustion air and hydrogen are then regulated and the flame ignited.

3.3.1 Functional units

FIDOR contains the following independent functional units:
● GMS810/811 and GMS840 FIDOR: The “Basic Control Unit” (BCU) which manages the
FID and includes the control panel.
● The FID for analyzing the measured component

Functions of the Basic Control Unit (BCU)

● As higher level control unit, the BCU itself provides the operator panel to operate the
FIDOR.

Functions of the FID analyzer

● The FID records measured values.

7.1 Safety information for commissioning

WARNING: Risk of fire when measuring combustible gases

Feeding ignitable gases or gas mixtures is not allowed.
No special conditions for measuring combustible gases are necessary when
the sample gas concentrations do not exceed 25% of the lower explosion limit
(LEL).
● Enclosure GMS810/11:
▸ The enclosure cover must be perforated.
▸ Ensure an unhindered air exchange with the environment.
▸ Observe the specifications for the maximum operating pressure in the
Technical Data.

CAUTION: Risk of explosion when combustible or ignitable sample gas is used

▸ Do not use the FIDOR for measuring combustible or ignitable gases.

WARNING: Risk of explosion due to leaky lines

The FIDOR is supplied with hydrogen. Risk of explosions due to leaky lines.
▸ Ensure sufficient ventilation.
▸ Do not cover the enclosure cover.
▸ If a further device is installed above the FIDOR:
Leave 1 RU (rack unit) space between the devices.
▸ Do not operate the FIDOR in closed rooms
OR
install a hydrogen sensor (H2 sensor) (< 25% LEL).
▸ GMS840 enclosure: Use enclosure purging.
WARNING: Hazards through leaky gas path
● Health risk when noxious sample gas leaks out.
● Risk of damage to the FIDOR and adjacent equipment if the sample gas is corrosive
or could create corrosive liquids in combination with water (e.g. humidity).
● The measured values could possibly be wrong if the gas path is leaky.
▸ The gas lines to the FIDOR may only be laid by skilled persons who, based on their
training and knowledge as well as knowledge of the relevant regulations, can assess
the tasks given and recognize the dangers involved.

7 START-UP

7.2 Preparation

7.2.1 Check
▸ Check with a leak detector:
Are the external hydrogen supply and the hydrogen connection gas-tight?

After a longer period of standstill (several weeks), also check:

▸ Instrument air supply and fuel gas supply available and clean?
▸ Gas pressures correct?
▸ Sample gas outlet free from any blockages?
▸ Sampling probe ready for operation?

7.2.2 Procedure
1 Start the peripheral devices (e.g. heated line, sampling probe, catalyst).
If necessary, wait until they are ready for operation (e.g. warming up time).
2 Check the availability of the operating gases (quality, pressure, reserve: Values, see
“Technical Data”).

7.2.3 Gas connections (GMS810/GMS811)

NOTE: Ground metallic gas lines separately

Otherwise the EMC is not ensured.

7.2.4.3 Connecting the fuel gas (hydrogen)

● Recommendation:
– Fit a pressure monitor on the fuel gas cylinder which monitors the cylinder pressure
and emits a signal at a minimum pressure (e.g. 10 bar).
– If the FIDOR is integrated in an enclosed system cabinet:
Install a H2 flow limiter for the fuel gas supply in the system cabinet and GMS840,
and, if required, install a hydrogen sensor (H2 sensor) (< 25% LEL).
CAUTION: Maintain the purge air limit
▸ Limit the hydrogen (H2) to 200 ml/min.
▸ When purging with air: Feed at least 1200 l/h purge air into the enclosure.
▸ Lay the lines.
– Only use analytically pure tubes made of copper or stainless steel.
– Do not contaminate the insides of tubes during assembly
▸ Connect the fuel gas to the “Fuel gas” connection.
Observe the warning for the screw fitting, see “Preparing the measuring location”,
page 27.

7.2.4.4 Connecting the test gas

Zero gas
▸ Connect the zero gas.

Reference gas
Recommendation:
Monitor the feed pressure of the reference gas with a pressure monitor which emits an
electric signal at a certain minimum pressure (e.g. 10 bar).
Connect the signal of the pressure monitor with the “External signal failure” control input.
▸ Connect the reference gas.

7.2.4.5 Connecting the sample gas

The FIDOR has an internal sample gas filter.
● Material: Sintered metal (CrNi steel).
● Pore size: 20 μm.
▸ If the sample gas pressure is more than 150 hPa (mbar) higher than the ambient pres-
sure: Install a bypass line (e.g. T-form screw connection) from which the FIDOR can draw
the sample gas.
▸ If the sample gas contains large quantities of dust: Install an external dust filter in the
sample gas supply line (preliminary filter, coarse filter).
1 Lay the sample gas line from the sampling probe to the FIDOR.
2 Screw on the sample gas line.
– Use a kink protection (the sample gas connection on the FIDOR may not be loaded
with the weight of the heated line).
The direction of the kink protection can be adapted to the operating position: see
“Install the sample gas filter”, page 68.
– Always take the lowest permissible curvature radius of the pipe into account (see the
technical specifications of the heated sample gas line).
– Prevent thermal bridges to the heated sample gas line (e.g. at the securing points).
Use an insulating cover (assembly, see “Install the sample gas filter”, page 68) and
sheath the connection points with the insulation hose.
