The APHA–370 continuously monitors atmospheric THC, NMHC, and CH4 concentrations using a cross–flow modulated selective combustion type method combined with a hydrogen ion detection method. The APHA–370 employs an independent, internal dry–method sampling device to achieve the highest levels of sensitivity and accuracy.
The APHA–370 uses a combination of the flame ionization detection method and selective–combustion. This gives it the advantage of the single–detector method plus the ability to perform continuous measurements, free of zero–drift, for THC, NMHC, and CH4. The design gives great stability and high sensitivity (0–5 ppm F.S.)
The APHA–370 has a relative–sensitivity correction function for CH4 and NMHC.
All the necessary features are built right into a single rack–sized instrument, including a catalytic unit for selective combustion (i.e., an NMHC cutter); a cataytic unit for generating reference gas and auxiliary combustion air (standard); and a sampling pump. The only supplemental gas required is H2.
