1.0 T201 AMMONIA ANALYZER This manual is to be used in conjunction with the T200 NOx Analyzer manual, p/n 06858 supplied with this instrument. It is important that you familiarize yourself with the workings of the NOx analyzer before proceeding with NH3 measurements. The T201 ammonia analyzer consists of a modified T200 nitrogen oxide analyzer and an M501 NH3 ammonia converter. The analyzer measures the following individual gas concentrations: TNx (NH3 and NOx), NOx (NO and NO2) and NO in the sample gas.

T201 Ammonia Analyzer Teledyne API Model T201 NH3 Analyzer Operator Manual 1.1 THEORY OF OPERATION The Teledyne-API Model T201 analyzer measures ammonia by oxidizing it to nitric oxide by the following reaction: 4NH3 + 5O2 4NO + 6H2O The resulting nitric oxide is then measured by the chemiluminescent reaction with ozone. Consult Section 10.1 in the T200 manual (provided with this instrument) for more details on the nitric oxide measurement.
Teledyne API Model T201 NH3 Analyzer Operator Manual T201 Ammonia Analyzer The ammonia converter efficiency factor (NH3_CE_FACTOR1) is discussed in more detail in Section 2.3 of this manual. The conversion efficiency of the M501 NH3 should be checked prior to starting long term tests. Both efficiency factors can be accessed through the analyzer VARS MENU.
T201 Ammonia Analyzer Teledyne API Model T201 NH3 Analyzer Operator Manual As can be seen from the above reactions, the calculation of the ammonia concentration and overall calibration of the instrument must be done carefully, if accurate ammonia concentrations are to be measured. 1.2 SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR AMMONIA MEASUREMENT Ammonia is a difficult gas to measure due to its chemical characteristics. The gas tends to adsorb onto surfaces and diffuse into many materials.

2.0 CALIBRATION PROCEDURE This section begins with a high-level overview of the calibration procedure for the T201 analyzer. Details are provided starting in Section 2.1. First, take the time to read the T200 manual to familiarize yourself with the Chemiluminescence process. It is important to remember that the analyzer is merely measuring different levels of nitric oxide sample gas on three separate channels (TNx, NOx, NO).
Calibration Procedure Teledyne API Model T201 NH3 Analyzer Operator Manual 2.1 ZEROING THE ANALYZER The analyzer can be zeroed by either applying zero air straight to the sample port or through the optional Zero/Span valves, if installed. It is important to remember that if the analyzer was previously sampling ammonia gas, prior to conducting a Zero calibration, it will take some period of time before the zero baseline is reached.
Teledyne API Model T201 NH3 Analyzer Operator Manual Calibration Procedure Table 2-2. Zero Calibration Procedure - Zero Gas through ZERO Port Step No. Action 1. Press CALZ 2 Table 2.1 Notes Comment The T201 enters the calibrate mode from sample mode. The zero gas is supplied through the ZERO inlet port on the rear panel of the M501 NH3. Follow Steps 2 to 8 in Table 2-1. Since the zero gas concentration is defined as 0 ppb, it is not necessary to enter the expected concentration values.
Calibration Procedure Teledyne API Model T201 NH3 Analyzer Operator Manual Table 2-3. NO Calibration Procedure – NO Gas through the SAMPLE Port Important: Each channel (TNx and NOx) must be Spanned individually Step No. Action 1. Press CAL 2. Channel Selection 3.

Teledyne API Model T201 NH3 Analyzer Operator Manual Calibration Procedure Table 2-4. NO Calibration Procedure - NO Gas through the SPAN Port Step No. Action 1. Press CALS 2 Table 2.3 Notes Comment The T201 enters the calibrate mode from sample mode. The NO gas is supplied through the SPAN inlet port on the rear panel of the M501 NH3. Follow Steps 2 to 5 in Table 2-3. Both the TNx and NOx channels must be spanned individually with nitric oxide gas.
Calibration Procedure Teledyne API Model T201 NH3 Analyzer Operator Manual The most important criterion an individual can avail themselves of when spanning an analyzer with ammonia gas is “patience”. Ammonia is a very sticky gas and the response of the analyzer/calibration system depends on a number of factors.

6.0 CALCULATING MOLY CONVERTER EFFICIENCIES 6.1 PURPOSE To provide instructions on how to calculate the efficiency of a Moly converter when using a GPT method of testing converters, by using the US EPA method, where the actual concentration of ozone is not a factor in the accuracy of the calculation of the converter efficiency. This procedure is based on the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40, Chapter I, subchapter C, Part 50, Appendix F. 6.
Calculating Moly Converter Efficiencies Teledyne API Model T201 NH3 Analyzer Operator Manual 3. The first gas check is to test to see how much the converter is eating NO gas or out gassing NO gas. Bypass the converter in the machine, by placing a short piece of tubing in place of the converter. Perform a straight dilution with NO gas and air as a diluent gas. Input this 450 PPB NO gas into the analyzer, allow the machine to stabilize, and write down the NOx value on your data sheet on line 3. 4.
