Thoughtful features save space, ease operation, and boost confidence, including:

;; Compact, flexible footprint: Two analyzers fit neatly into ONE 19” RACK!
;; Ease of Use: User-friendly keypad interface, bright vacuum fluorescent display (VFD) and helpful
menu-driven prompts make it simple to specify, to configure, and to start up for your specific application
;; Flash upgradable software: Easily upgrade unit software via RS232 port
;; Adjustable outputs: Flexibility to change output scales in the field. No need to replace electronic components
or access the internal components. Simply access menu via Mode/Enter key and select output scale.
;; Mass Flow Control: Select your sample gas from the main menu and the microprocessor automatically
adjusts the mass flow controller to the proper set point.
;; On-line verification: Conveniently check proper cell operation using simple Delta Flow procedure to verify
sensor linearity and performance on-line.
;; Consistency and precision: The reliability and accuracy of MEECO’s time-proven electrolytic sensor are
unique among its peers. When you have been doing something since the early 1950’s, you
approach perfection…

SAMPLE FLOW

Principle of Operation P2O5

2 ELECTRODES

Based on Faraday’s Law of Electrolysis, the AquaVolt’s sensor absorbs and FORM A
DOUBLE HELIX

electrolyzes moisture at fractional parts-per-million or parts per billion (ppm or


HOLLOW

ppb). 100% of the sample moisture is absorbed by a phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5)


GLASS
TUBE

film that covers two spirally-wound electrodes embedded in a hollow glass tube.
When the sample gas enters the cell at a known flow rate, the film absorbs all the
moisture molecules present. By applying an electrical potential (voltage) to the
electrodes, each absorbed water molecule is electrolyzed, generating a finite
current. This current is precise and proportional to the amount of absorbed water.
It is a direct measurement of the water vapor present in the sample gas.

The Trusted Name In Moisture Analysis. Founded in 1948, MEECO specializes in moisture
analyzers used in facilities around the world. We tackle the tough problems, such as natural gas
pipelines, where instruments are often subject to physical abuse, corrosives and serious
contaminants. We’re proud to report, the MEECO name is synonymous with moisture analysis.
