????The CONTHOS 3F Ex state-of-the-art thermal conductivity gas-analyzer is an analytical instrument developed for online industrial use.????

??Some of the outstanding technical features of LFE's 3rd-generation, microprocessor based gas-analyzer are:??

● high-temperature TC-detector (TCD), temperature controlled from 50°C to max. 180°C continuous operating temperature.????

● high corrosion-resistance of components in contact with medium??

● unusually quick response time: typically ≤ 2s??

● response highly independent of the gas flow????

● unusually high long-term response stability????

● intuitive user-interface based on NAMUR1 –recommendations??

● automatic self-diagnosis??

● ??optional dynamic interference correction of up to 3 gases????

??The technical features of the unique CONTHOS 3 gas analyzer open up new areas of application for the thermal-conductivity principle, as well as help to eliminate weak points in present analysis ??????problems.Choosing the TCD-operating-temperature above that of the dew-point of the sample-gas can, in conjunction with external and internal heated gas lines (field housing only), alleviate the ????need for a sample-gas cooler.

??Model variations??
