Maintenance

 

Maintenance of the Bazooka™ probe follows the same general rules as for the Gold Probe™/ Periodic burnoff is required to prevent buildup of carbon in the sensing region of the probe.  Simple systems to provide the appropriate probe conditioning programs are available from SSi.  For generators, the normal burnoff cycle is 24 hours when operating at 40º dew point.  Lower set points will usually require more frequent burnoffs.  Burnoff frequency can be determined by the time required to burn off to a sensor reading near zero mV.

 

Typical burnoff times are 60-90 seconds at 6-10 SCFH of burnoff air with 90 seconds allowed for probe recovery.  However, burnoff may require up to 20 SCFH.  Sample flow rates (from the Rx gas manifold) are typically 2 SCFH.
