September, January GfG Inc. Company Overview Slide 66 33

34 Flame proof sensors depend on physical barriers such as stainless steel housings and flame arrestors to limit the amount of energy that can ever be released by the sensor The flame arrestor can slow, reduce, or even prevent larger molecules from entering the sensor Traditional LEL sensors are Flame proof devices Uncorrected readings for the pellistor LEL sensor much lower than the true concentration The larger the molecule, the slower it diffuses through the flame arrestor into the sensor Stainless steel housing Flame arrestor (sinter) September, January GfG Inc.

39 Effects of hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDS) on pellistor sensor September, January GfG Inc. Company Overview Slide 77 Effects of H2S on combustible gas sensors H2S affects sensor as inhibitor AND as poison Some byproducts of oxidation of H2S left as deposit on active bead that depresses gas readings while inhibitor is present Sensor generally recovers most of original response once it is returned to fresh air H2S functions as inhibitor BUT byproducts of catalytic oxidation become very corrosive if they build up on active bead in sensor Corrosive effect can rapidly (and permanently) damage bead if not cooked off fast enough How efficiently bead cooks off contaminants is function of: Temperature at which bead is operated Size of the bead Whether bead under continuous power versus pulsing the power rapidly on and off to save operating energy September, January GfG Inc. Company Overview Slide 78 39
