Series B12 Gas Detection Transmitters from ATI
Series B12 gas detection transmitters are loop powered instruments that transmit a 4-20 mA signal linearly proportional to gas concentration. Operated from a 24 VDC power supply, the transmitter will drive loads up to 675 ohms. Alternatively, the unit can operate at 12 VDC – with reduced output load – for applications requiring battery operation. Transmitters are normally supplied with the sensor close coupled to the enclosure. However, for special applications, the unit can be supplied with separate sensors that can be located up to 25 feet from the transmitter. Sensor duct mounting adapters and sensor flowcells can also be provided for specific applications.

B12 Series 2-Wire Transmitter for Wet Gas Streams
Increasingly stringent air quality requirements have led to expanded use of wet scrubber systems to control air emissions. Chlorine storage facilities and chemical process plants are frequently required to scrub exhaust gas streams to remove halogen and acid gases. Unfortunately, monitoring reactive gas concentration in moisture saturated air streams presents problems for standard diffusion sensors. Condensing water in these air lines can quickly blind diffusion sensors, rendering them inoperable.
ATI’s Series B12 Wet Gas System was developed to meet the need for reliable measurements in wet scrubber outlets for other gas streams that might be saturated with water vapor. Systems have been developed for monitoring strong oxidants (chlorine, bromine, chlorine dioxide, or ozone), acid gases (HCl or HF) and hydrogen.
The basic B12 Wet Gas System consists of a loop-powered 2-wire transmitter and a corrosion resistant sensor specifically engineered to operate at 100% RH. Sensors are designed for direct insertion into vent stacks or may be used in a flowcell if sample can be pumped to the sensor.
When remote display and alarm relay functions are required, the B12 Wet Gas Transmitters can be connected to ATI’s B14 Alarm Receiver System. This system will provide direct digital display of gas concentration, plus 3 alarm setpoints, remote alarm reset input and retransmit 4-20 mA output. Or, the B12 transmitter may be used separately and tied directly to the users DCS, PLC or other equipment. Either way, the B12 is an excellent solution to a difficult monitoring problem.
