Condensation / Moisture

When a hot gas is cooled rapidly, moisture in the gas can condense and form water.  This water can collect in the sample tubing assembly, and eventually enter the bowl filter.  Care must be taken to ensure that no water enters the unit, as this will cause permanent damage to the sensors.  The unit should be closely monitored during operation to determine if moisture is collecting in the bowl filter.  If this is the case, the bowl filter basin can be removed and emptied by unscrewing it.  Although water in the bowl filter will not cause damage to the unit, this filter is not intended to be used as a condensation receptacle.  If moisture has collected in the bowl filter, sampling should be stopped, and steps should be taken to prevent this from continuing before operation is resumed.
