INTRODUCTION

 

Thank you for selecting SSi P/N 13036 for your generator probe maintenance application.

 

You lubricate critical machine parts on a regular basis if you want them to last. Your zirconia carbon sensor also requires regular maintenance.  Buildup of carbon in the space between the zirconia sensing element and the sheath, as well as at the sensing point, will eventually adversely affect the proper operation of the probe. If carbon (soot) is allowed to accumulate to the extent that the atmosphere cannot penetrate to the sensing surface, control is impossible. The 13036 is designed to prevent that from happening. By periodically initiating a procedure from the SSI SlikGen or AC20 controls to remove the accumulated carbon, the carbon sensor is maintained in a clean operating condition. The 13036 is intended for use with generator-dew point sampling (reheat) systems only. This system can perform very well with low burnoff flow rates since the sample flow is stopped and displaced by burnoff air.
