Air check _ Advantage Nitrogen Trifluoride (NF3) Gas Monitor

Air check Advantage Ex Nitrogen Trifluoride Gas Monitor
  • Detects Nitrogen Trifluoride at TLV levels
  • Enhanced self-diagnostic capability decreases downtime and maintenance costs.
  • “Smart” sensor electronics continuously checks sensor and system status.
  • Built-in user selectable local dual level alarms with relay output.
  • Local digital display
  • 4-20 mA analog output.
  • Low-cost renewable sensor

The PureAire Air check _Advantage is a compact, extractive gas monitoring system that’s ideal for continuously and remotely monitoring gas cabinets, process tools, scrubber systems, and other areas where maintenance access may be limited or undesirable. Featuring a long life pyrolizer and sample pump, this reliable hazardous gas detection system significantly reduces the labor and downtime commonly associated with gas detector maintenance and service.

The instrument’s “smart” circuitry continuously monitors sensor cell status and sampling system performance. Continuous sensor cell operation is transmitted via 4-20mA signal to PureAire controllers, PLC’s or remote alarm systems. Should a system error occur, the Air check _Advantage outputs a 2mA signal to remote alarm/control systems to immediately alert control room personnel.

The heart of the system is a smart renewable sensor cell linked to a compact pyrolizer. Sample is drawn through the pyrolizer where Nitrogen Trifluoride is thermally decomposed and converted into another gas that is more easily detected electrochemically. Unlike competitive Nitrogen Trifluoride detectors, which measure at the percent LEL levels, the Air check _Advantage measures at the PPM OSHA TLV levels.

Low Annual Operation Cost

The PureAire Air check _Advantage has the lowest annual maintenance costs of any gas monitoring system on the market. PureAire’s Renewable Sensor cells are easily recharged with electrolyte right in the field at approximately 20% of the cost of disposable sensor cell type systems. Recharge costs typically run about $35.00 per sensor every 6 months. Combined with our built-in, low power pyrolizer, and long life sample pump, the Air check _Advantage will lower your annual operation costs. When compared to competitive gas monitors, it will pay for itself in just a few years.

Connects to DCS and PLC Controls

The Air check _Advantage transmits continuous gas concentration levels to any distributive control system, programmable logic controller or PureAire’s proprietary single and multi-channel controllers. The monitoring system Monitor can be operated remote up to 1,000 meters, 0.6 miles from centralized distributive control systems.

Gas Monitor Detects Fluorine Odors in Scrubbers, Exhaust Stacks, and Work Areas

An extremely sensitive monitoring system for the detection and measurement of fluorine (F2) is available from PureAire Monitoring Systems. Ideal for monitoring scrubbers, exhaust stacks, process areas, and other locations where fluorine may be present, the PureAire Fluorine Monitoring System measures concentrations as low as 50 PPB, yet will not react to hydrogen or alcohol-based cleaning solvents such as IPA...

Measure Fluorine at the Source… 
and All Points Downstream

The latest generation of plasma etching and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) tools use significantly greater amounts of nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) than their predecessors. And even though they convert NF3 with 99% efficiency, large volumes of unreacted fluorine gas are still dumped into the point-of-use and in-house scrubber systems, which unfortunately, were never designed to handle the high volumes of gas they’re now being hit with. The result? Scrubber breakthrough….and an obnoxious odor wafting around the building that is difficult to identify and even harder to eliminate...
