9、 clause 15 of the standard forGas and Vapor Detectors and Sensors, UL 2075, (reference the sensitivity limits of Clause 38 of thestandard for Single and Multiple Station Carbon Monoxide Alarms, UL 2034, where appropriate).5.3 Normal Operation To be conducted as outlined in the operating instructions

10、 for the CO Gas Test Kiton 12 end product sample detectors.5.4 Abnormal Usage Expose 12 end product CO detectors to the abnormal exposure levels. The entirecontents of one can is to be dispensed as close to the sensor as possible (while the detector/sensor is inits normal operating configuration) to

11、 determine if subsequent operation of the detectors/sensor has beenadversely affected.5.5 Sensitivity Test Following 5.4, verify that the Sensitivity of the alarm has not been affected bysubjecting the samples to the Sensitivity Test outlined in Section 15 of Gas and Vapor Detectors andSensors, UL 2

12、075, (reference the CO sensitivity limits outlined in Section 38 of Single and Multiple StationCarbon Monoxide Detectors, UL 2034 where appropriate).5.6 As described/defined in the operating instructions, dispense the gas (CO) from the can into a gassample bag. Using a CO monitor/analyzer with an ac

Verify that the measured COconcentration recorded by the CO analyzer is within 5 percent of the manufacturers specifications.Equivalent methods to quantify the gas concentration may be engine

15、d the CO concentration andpressure in each can. Using Boyles Law (Equation 1 below), calculate the volume of gas (CO andbalance gas) in each can at STP. This volume will indicate the maximum volume of the dispensed gas (atSTP conditions) at which the concentration as measured in 5.5 can exist (i.e.

16、worst-case COconcentration produced by a fully-dispensed can). The Ideal Gas Law shall then be applied to verify thatthe total amount of CO in the can does not exceed 3.22 x 10-4moles (approximately 9.0 mg) of CO at25C, 1 atm.NOTE: Equivalent concentrations that exceed the maximum allowable number o

17、f moles are to beindividually assessed. Additionally, an equivalent number of moles that exceeds the maximum of 1850ppm in concentration are to be individually assessed.

18、WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM ULCO Test Kit (example)Measured CO concentration (inside can, at 298.15K): 1850 ppmCalculated internal can volume: 0.36 LCalculated internal can pressure: 11.5 barAt STP (298.15K, 1.01325 bar):Equation 1: P1V1=P2V2(Boyles Law):in which:P1= pressure within the can at 298.15KV1

19、= fixed internal volume of the canP1= the standard ambient pressure at 298.15K andSolve for V2(11.5 bar)(0.36L) = (1.01325 bar)(V2)WhereV2= (11.5 x 0.36)/(1.01325) = 4.086 LThis result indicates that the measured CO concentration of 1850 ppm can only fill a maximum of 4.086L of space at standard amb

20、ient conditions, after which the CO will diffuse into a larger volume and becomeless concentrated. Next, we will determine whether this CO gas test kit exceeds the defined maximumnumber of moles.Because 1 mole of gas at STP will occupy a specific volume, regardless of the molecular weight of thegas,

21、 we can use the following formula (Equation 2) to determine the volume fraction of the CO withrespect to the overall CO/balance gas mixture volume at STP:Equation 2: ppm (CO) = (Volume of CO at STP) / (Total Gas Volume at STP) x 1061850 ppm = (Volume of CO) / (4.086 L) x 106Therefore, the Volume of

22、the CO at STP is 0.007559 LNext, calculate the number of moles of CO, using the Ideal Gas Law (Equation 3).Equation 3: PV = nRT (Ideal Gas Law)in which:P = Pressure of the CO (Standard Ambient Pressure: 101.325 kPa)V = Volume of the CO in Ln = number of molesSEPTEMBER 4, 2008SUBJECT 2075A6UL COPYRIG

24、59)/(2425.1521) = 3.16 x 10-4moles of COThis result indicates that the measured number of moles of CO does not exceed the maximum allowableamount of 3.2 x 10-4moles.5.8 Quantitative Gas Chromatographic Analysis shall be conducted on samples of the gas mixture thatare at the manufacturers highest and
