emissions. It also employs residue
tubes that are pre-chilled using the
cold ammonia itself, thus preventing
aggressive boiling that threatens
fill accuracy. The system also
has features that help to control the
dispensing of the ammonia sample
and ensure a consistent sample size.
Other features include a single handle
for easier operation and reduced
operator error and a touchscreen
interface to control all heater operations.

Intelligent connectors are
changing sensor technology
More powerful microprocessors
have made it possible to create
completely self-sufficient digital sensors
that function like a measuring
device themselves. The intelligence
of the digital sensors is located in
the connector plug. In addition to
the additional flexibility of a digital
sensor,
laboratory markets. Designed for the
company's highly popular OLCT 100
XPIR fixed gas detector, the IR sensor
ensures measurement stability
and is impervious to catalytic poisons.
Moreover, the device offers a
long lifespan, even with the presence
of background gas, to deliver 100%
lower-explosive-limit (LEL) methane
detection. The IR methane sensors
deploy two IR wavelengths: one
active wavelength for gas absorption
and one providing a reference
wavelength to compensate for the
impact of temperature and humidity.
Because IR sensors do not require
O2 to operate, these sensors
are also suitable for use in 0-100
vol.% methane-gas environments.
The ATEX-approved OLCT 100 XPIR
comes with 4-20-mA output. Hall

individual sensor parameters,
such as linearization, scaling,
attenuation, averaging, measuring
rate or longer comments can also
be stored in the intelligent Almemo
D7 and D6 connectors (photo) for
clear assignment of the sensors to
the measuring stations. The digitization
of sensors - even those from
other vendors - makes it possible
to consider the measuring device
and sensor separately during a
traceable initial calibration or recalibration.
The device itself no longer
needs to be taken into account during
calibration. Each digital sensor
with an D7 or D6 connector forms
a self-contained, calibratable measuring
chain. This means that the
sensors can be calibrated independently
of the measuring system. Hall

This heating system is designed
for unrestricted flow
This company offers on-demand
steam-injection fluid-heating, cooking
and processing systems. These
heating systems are said to be the
most reliable, durable solution for
heating water and slurries with instant
and precise temperature control.
The company's newest innovation
is the Non-Obstructing Heater
(NOH; photo). The NOH's straighttube
design allows for unrestricted
flow, prevents pressure drop and
heats slurries without plugging or
fouling. In addition, the NOH's rugged
design and construction materials
enable it to handle viscous
slurries,
particulate-matter-filled
products, abrasive and corrosive
substances and stringy products, as
well as enables inline water heating
abilities. Compared to other heating
systems, the NOH utilizes a smaller
footprint, with direct installation into
the existing system piping, and does
not require special tools for maintenance.
Sizes range from 2 to 12 in.
(DN50-DN300), with volume capabilities
reach 6,900 gal/min (up to
1,567.2 m3/h). Hall 6.1, Stand A100
