SQ251 FLK Gas Sampling Probe
3 Operation
3.1 General information
Danger !
The probe and coolant lines have an operating temperature of up to 220° Cel.
The baked-on deposits on the probe can reach temperatures of over 1000° Cel.
3.2 Start-up
Warning!
The probe must only be operated by qualified personnel who are familiar with all maintenance
measures. Damage may occur if operated by unauthorized personnel and maintenance is
improperly carried out.
See the operating manual for the complete gas analysis equipment with FLK Probe for the start-up procedures.
4 Maintenance
The following maintenance work must be carried out by the user to maintain the probe ready for operation:
When using the probe on the furnace inlet, checks must be made in the initial period during each insertion and
retraction. A check should be made of whether the baked-on deposits on the probe are released by compressed
air during insertion. This opportunity should be used to check the probe for mechanical damage (e.g. due to falling
material deposits in the furnace inlet chamber).
The probe and coolant line connections should also be checked for leaking coolant.
Any leaks must be immediately repaired.
If the baked-on deposits are not released on insertion, then the probe must be cleaned manually.
Danger !
The probe and coolant lines have an operating temperature of up to 220° Cel.
The baked-on deposits on the probe can reach temperatures of over 1000° Cel.
With other installation locations (precalcination chamber) a regular check of the probe for damage, baked-on
deposits and leakage on the coolant line connections must be carried out. The period between these checks
should not exceed 14 days.
If the sampling chamber and/or the sampling pipe becomes blocked, the probe must be cleaned manually. Once
the screwed gland on the sampling side has been removed, the sampling pipe can be cleaned with a suitable rod
or strong wire.
If cleaning is no longer possible, the complete sampling pipe must be changed.
If the ball valve becomes leaky, the tap spindle and/or seals must be replaced.
