Signal’s sample handling modules and components condition gas samples in preparation for analysis.
Within the field of gas analysis much time is spent looking at the accuracy and uncertainty in the detection technique. However, without appropriate sample handling, what you are measuring could potentially bear little or no relation to your original sample.
Signal manufacture our own range of sample handling components including chillers with minimal condensate contact to limit and loss of soluble species, heated transfer lines to prevent condensation, probes to ensure representative samples are obtained, plus various filters to protect expensive and delicate analysis modules.
A light duty, portable heated pump and pre-filter unit for use with single heated instruments. Provides variable inlet pressures and sample flow rates for very low sample pressures, or very long heated lines, or for pumpless measurement instruments.
A built-in heated pump draws sample from the pre-filtered exhaust probe. This is then distributed to two heated analysers, and a third line is fed to a cooler dryer for sample conditioning for dry gas analysers such as the Signal multi-gas PULSAR range NDIR analysers. The two filters can be switched via an external switching unit (picture shows dual channel Model 362).
The Front End Filter (FEF) module is a prefilter which is installed close to the sampling point, providing sample filtration and system integrity checking with Span gas being passed down the heated line to check for hydrocarbon ‘hang-up’.
The 250 Portable cooler dryer removes water vapour from stack and exhaust emission gases, before analysis by ambient analysers. Errors due to water interference are removed and condensation is prevented from occurring inside the analyser.
The 200SM Series of 19″ rack mounting cooler dryers remove water vapour from Stack and Exhaust Emission gases, before analysis by ambient analysers. Errors due to water interference are removed and condensation is prevented from occurring inside the analysers. The unit is based on a solid state Peltier cooler element with a continuous peristaltic pump which removes the unwanted water.

The Flame Ionisation Detection (FID) method was first developed in the 1950s for the laboratory analysis of organic chemicals. Later, when environmental regulations began to limit the emissions of volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) in the 1970’s and 1980’s, the FID method was adapted for emissions monitoring. Signal Group was one
In a significant advancement for emissions monitoring technology, Signal Group is proud to announce that our 3010 MiniFID has achieved certification from the National Institute of Environmental Research (NIER) under Notification No. 2023-70. This certification marks a pivotal development in our commitment to providing cutting-edge technology that meets rigorous global
As the world urgently seeks ways to decarbonise, James Clements from Signal Group explains how gas analysis will perform a vital role – not just for CO2 but for all of the important greenhouse gases. The climate crisis is forcing nations to urgently find ways to lower their greenhouse gas
