<1. Overview> 1-83 It is not recommended to use the auto-operation starting function for FPD detector because it is necessary to operate pneumatic pressure for fuel two times as the value written in “operation condition setting” in the Operation Material. If FPD is lit up with the pneumatic pressure for fuel at the operation condition setting value as is, a peak may not appear in the chromatogram and only the base line may be output.
<1. Overview> 1-84 Auto-operation setting 1st auto-start time Yes/No No initial value Until the heater is turned on. Range: 0 to 50000 s Initial value: 0 The purpose is to prevent deterioration of the column by turning the oven heater on while the column is not sufficiently substituted by the carrier gas. Set a time (s) when the carrier gas stream within the column system is sufficiently substituted by carrier gas.

3-18 <3. Basic Operation and Startup> (2)Preparation and check of accessory equipment Check accessory equipment required for operation, such as gas cylinders (carrier gas, combustion hydrogen or makeup gas, and standard gas), air, and steam. When the fill pressure of carrier gas, combustion hydrogen or makeup gas is 1 MPa or less, or that of standard gas is 5% or less of the maximum value, prepare a new cylinder.
3-19 <3. Basic Operation and Startup> CAUTION If the sealing at the inlet of a cable is not proper, the internal pressure of the pressurized enclosure does not rise and the power is not supplied to the electronics section. 3 (5)Mounting columns The equipment is shipped with a megabore column and capillary column removed to avoid damage during transportation. Mount a column delivered as an accessory. When mounting a column, do correct wiring in reference to the Operation data.
3-20 <3. Basic Operation and Startup> IMPORTANT Since a pressure of higher than 1 MPa may damage GC8000, follow the procedure below when supplying gas from a cylinder: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) Shut the regulator of the cylinder. Confirm that the secondary pressure of the regulator is zero. Open the main valve of the cylinder gradually. Set the secondary pressure of the regulator to 700 kPa. For hydrogen gas, set the secondary pressure of the regulator to 500 kPa.
3-21 <3. Basic Operation and Startup> IMPORTANT Confirm as daily inspection that the pressure gauge of the electronics section in the pressure control section indicates the specified pressure. 3.2.3 3 Operation after supplying power This section describes preparatory work before measuring process or standard samples. (1)Setting day and hour Since GC8000* (in TIIS explosionproof specification) does not keep the day/hour settings, always set the day and hour after supplying power.
3-22 <3. Basic Operation and Startup> NOTE • Even if the set item of the calibration/validation method has been set to Auto, it changes to Manual since turning Off/On the power of the main body requires the setting of automatic start time again. When confirming the set value of the item, set the set item of the calibration/validation method to Auto, and reenter start time. • When a set value has been changed, load the initial database again to make the set information of GC-HMI agree with that of GC8000.
3-23 <3. Basic Operation and Startup> (5)Additional tightening of LSV Tighten LSV additionally by 1/8 turn with an LSV hook spanner wrench after the temperature of the isothermal oven has become stable. (6)Supplying combustion hydrogen or makeup gas and combustion air This applies to FID, FID with a methanizer, or FPD. Start the supply of combustion hydrogen or makeup gas and combustion air. Set the pressure according to 1.5 Methods of Measuring and Setting the Pressure and Flow Rate of Gases.
3-24 <3. Basic Operation and Startup> (1)TCD When TCD is turned on with air filled in the carrier gas line, the filament of TCD may burn out. Continue to let carrier gas flow for at least 10 minutes before turning on TCD. The output of TCD does not become stable until the temperature becomes stable (the baseline drifts). Do normal operation and calibration after at least 12 hours have elapsed after TCD was turned on. Procedure (1) Confirm that the temperature of the isothermal oven has become stable.
<3. Basic Operation and Startup> 3-25 (9) The indication remains OFF until FID becomes Combustion. When ignition failed, the alarms of DET1-1 FRAME OUT, DET1-2 FRAME OUT, DET2-1 FRAME OUT, DET2-2 FRAME OUT, DET3-1 FRAME OUT, and DET3-2 FRAME OUT are raised. In this case, restart the procedure from the beginning. (10) When FID becomes Combustion, the indication changes from OFF → ON. (3)FPD Turn on (ignite) FPD after the temperature of the isothermal oven has become substantially stable.
3-26 <3. Basic Operation and Startup> (4)Checking the baseline To confirm that the detector operates normally, press the (CHROM) in the navigation bar on the analyzer operation screen and display the baseline on the Chromatogram screen and compare it with the chromatogram in the Operation data. If the signal level and noise of the baseline significantly differ from those of the chromatogram in the Operation data, there may be something wrong with the detector, detector card, or wiring. 3.2.

App.A-1 Appendix A Principle of Gas Chromatograph A gas chromatograph is an analyzer which first sends a fixed volume of the sampled multicomponent gas mixture to a column, separates it in the column, then measures the concentrations of the components with a detector. The process gas chromatograph analyzes intermittently, allowing periodic analysis by a specified method, thus automatic sampling is possible.
App.A-2 Component Separation Using Column Four types of column are available for the GC8000 Process Gas Chromatograph: a packed column, micro packed column, mega-bore column and capillary column. Packed columns consist of a stainless steel pipe with a diameter of 2 mm filled with a bulking agent called a stationary phase. Micro packed columns consist of a stainless steel pipe with a diameter of 1 mm.
App.A-3 Thermal Conductivity Detector (TCD) The TCD utilizes the difference in the thermal conductivity between the measured gas and the carrier gas and detects the unbalanced voltage produced in a bridge circuit as a measure of concentration. Figure 3 shows the fundamental principle of the TCD. As shown, there are two streams, each having two filaments.
App.A-4 FPD Figure 5 shows the structure of the FPD. As the measured gas containing a sulfur component is led into the excess hydrogen flame, the component containing the sulfur atoms is excited. The FPD detects the luminous intensity of the light emitted when this excited component returns to its base state using a multiplier phototube and converts it to a voltage. This voltage represents the concentration of the sulfur component in the measured gas.

Term AtmosphericPressure Balancing Valve Description A balancing valve for sampling gases This valve can be used for sampling gas. As the flow rate changes, the compression rate of sample gas changes, resulting in changes in the sampling volume. This valve is used to prevent such changes. Specifically, install this valve before the sample valve measurement tube and turn it on to stop the flow of sample gas and then turn on the sample valve.

App.E-1 Appendix E Computation Scheme This chapter describes how concentrations and computations are derived based on signals from the detectors so that you can understand the computation functions of the GC8000. General The computation function of the GC8000 is composed of the processes shown in the figure below.
App.E-2 Detector Signal Processing Detector signal processing receives signals from each detector, eliminates noise from the signals, and transmits the filtered signals to the following peak detection processing. The figure below shows the flow of the processing. Signals from each detector Signal filtering Data sampling Processed data Signal evalution Standard deviation values F0202.
App.E-3 Waveform of detector signals Waveform after filtering f=0.5 Waveform after sampling (tsmp=40ms) Waveform after sampling (tsmp=80ms) F020202.ai (3) Signal Evaluation The signal evaluation step calculates the standard deviation of sampled 20 signals according to the following formulas: yavrg = 1 20 sd = t ∑ yi i=t–19 1 20 t ∑ (yi – yavrg)2 i=t–19 Where: : sampled signals (20 signals) yi sd : standard deviation of the sampled data App.
App.E-4 (1) Signal Level Processing There are three kinds of processing: base level setting, level detection, and noise detection. Detector signal data Select any one of these. Base level setting Level detection Noise detection Base level value Signal level value Noise value F020501.ai Base Level Setting The signal level in the voltage at the specified time in the analysis cycle (operation time) is stored as the base level value.
App.E-5 (2) Peak Processing Peaks are detected from the detector signal data, and the concentration is calculated from the area or height of the peak.
App.E-6 Peak area/peak height Select one of the following External standard (approximation from cubic equation) External standard (approximation from linear equation) External standard (calibration computation) Concentration computation processing Indirect method Corrected area normalization Select wheter to execute Total compensation operation Variation coefficient Concentration value Variation coefficient F020502_2.
App.E-7 Actions: According to the change in the retention time of each peak that is specified as standard, the gate time of the specified peak and processing time of the specified signal level are changed. When only one standard peak is specified, the gate time and processing time are obtained in proportion with the retention time.
App.E-8 • • • • The analysis elapse time is greater than the gate-on time. The previous peak is ended. The detector signal exceeds the detection level. The gradient of the detector signal (change with time) exceeds the peak-on detection slope value. When all the following conditions are satisfied, it is assumed that the peak is ended (off): • The analysis elapse time passes the gate-off time. • The detector signal passes the peak point.
App.E-9 For instance, assuming the assigned number of peaks is 5 in the zone peak detection starting at peak 3, the peak detection is started from the gate on, and if the detection is performed normally, the data will be stored in the peak buffers of peak 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 in the order of detection.
App.E-10 Coexistence of slope/time method with regular peak detection actions Like the slope gating, time gating and zone gating method, the slope/time method is performed by setting at the peak unit. Therefore, the slope/time method is considered as one of the regular detection actions, allowing it to coexist with other detection methods in one stream.
App.
App.E-12 When the calibration streams continues less than three times, the calibration coefficient is calculated from the results obtained. If the range of the calibration coefficient is set to zero, the standard area is obtained setting the calibration coefficient to 1. If the range of the calibration coefficient is set to other than zero, the calibration coefficient should be obtained.
App.E-13 The computation formula is: fisi ci = k ∑ (fjsj) j=l Where: ci : concentration of peak i : area of peak i si fi : sensitivity correction coefficient of peak i (f) Total Compensation Total compensation computes the concentration measured in a stream so that the total value of the measurement components is the total value specified in each stream.
App.E-14 The computation formula is: k cj = ctotal – ∑ ci i=1 Where: ci : concentration of peak i cj : concentration of deviation component j ctotal : total of the concentration values (4) Additional Computation Processes There are linear computation, ratio computation, resolution computation, Divisor computation, and calorific value computation functions. The computation flow is as shown below.
App.E-15 The computation formula is: xj = xk xm Where: xj : result of ratio computation xk : concentration of peak k xm : concentration of peak m Resolution Computation Resolution computation calculates the peak resolution from the retention time and peak halfwidth of two peaks. The expression formula is: xj = 2(tr(l) – tr(m)) 1.
