The Model HCT 1000 resets the standard for thermal conductivity detector-based applications within the process control industry. As a flameproof enclosure transmitter, packaged within a rugged, weatherproof housing, the HydroTrans is suitable for use in harsh, hazardous outdoor environments. Using a novel, solid-state thermal conductivity sensor, this costeffective transmitter can be configured to detect H2, He, N2,Ar, CO2 or a number of other gases of interest in binary or multi-component sample gas mixtures.

Sensor operating principle The thermal conductivity sensor measures the concentration of a specific gas between a hot surface resistor and an ambient temperature reference resistor using the thermal conductivity coefficient of the gas itself. Sensor description The sensor structure consists of an integrated heater located on a thin electrical and thermal insulating membrane. Two thin film resistors are used for heating and measuring the temperature of the membrane. Two resistors are integrated on the silicon beside the membrane for the compensation of the ambient temperature changes. Gases which have a lower density than air (CH4) cause a decrease on the surface membrane temperature. On the other hand, gases with densities heavier than air (CO2) increase the temperature of the measuring resistor. Features
