Total Chlorine Sensor

Total Chlorine is the combined amount of free chlorine, chloramine, organic and bound chlorine in the sample. The TCA Sensor is a three electrode Amperometric sensor with a gold cathode, silver halide anode and 304 SS counter electrode. The counter electrode provides a stable base potential that minimizes drift. The TCA sensor has a microporous membrane that allows ions to diffuse in and out of the sensor. The various chlorine species in the measured solution diffuse into the sensor and react with the acidic potassium iodide electrolyte to form iodine. 

The iodine is reduced at the cathode back to iodide and the current flow between the cathode and silver iodide anode is proportional to the total chlorine. The use of the pH sensor provides accurate compensation for samples between pH 4 and pH 12 and eliminates the need for an expensive sample conditioning system to control the pH of the solution. The LXT330 allows either parameter to be graphically displayed with user defined ranges allowing easy trend analysis.​

Amperometric Chlorine Sensor

Amperometric Chlorine Sensors are flow sensitive, the minimum required flow by the sensor is 0.5 ft/sec, above this value the output is virtually flow independent. A “Constant head” Flow control Device (CFD) maintains the optimum flow by the sensor over a wide range of incoming sample flow rates. The minimum flow required for the CFD is 10 gas/hr and the maximum flow is 80 gal/hr with the sample going to drain at atmospheric pressure.
