UV Hot-Wet Method |
NDIR |
Spectral Range |
Complete and continuous absorption spectra obtained through holographic grating and diode array detection |
Non Dispersive, characteristic absorption spectra obtained through band-pass filter |
Linear Response |
High wavelength resolution secures linear response |
band-pass filtration compromises linear response |
SO2 Loss |
Hot-wet prohibits SO2 dissolution |
Condensation inevitably causes SO2 loss |
Sampling System |
Heat tracing. Requests only dust filtration, simple and no corrosive |
Cold-dry. Requests dust filtration, condensation, water removal and corrosion proof |
Zero Calibration Period |
Long (DOAS algorithm) |
Short |
Anti-Interference |
The combination of complete & continuous absorption spectra, high wavelength resolution, DAOS algorithm erases interference from dust, moisture and background gases |
Vulnerable to moisture interference |
Gas Cell |
Connected by optical fiber, easy to replace and low maintenance cost |
Complex to replace and maintenance |
Maintenance |
Reliability |
No moving parts |
Moving parts existed |
