Yokogawa TDLS8000 In-Situ Gas Analyzer

The Yokogawa TDLS8000 revolutionizes industrial process and safety control by providing crucial real-time feedback. This advanced analyzer empowers users to gain immediate insights, adding significant value through active use in critical applications. It directly contributes to energy-efficient operations in furnaces and other processes, fostering safety and stable performance while simultaneously improving operational expenditures (OPEX) and reducing environmental impact. By delivering rapid feedback of process output directly to control programs, the TDLS8000 is an indispensable tool for achieving and maintaining optimal operational efficiency, ensuring that processes run smoothly and safely at all times.

Unprecedented Value in Severe Process Conditions

The TDLS8000 offers unprecedented benefits by addressing long-standing challenges in industrial measurement. It eliminates the need for cumbersome sampling devices and their associated drive components, dramatically reducing maintenance burdens and simplifying installation. The analyzer excels in “direct measurement under severe process conditions,” including extreme high temperatures and highly corrosive environments, where traditional sensors often fail or require extensive protective measures. This capability ensures that critical data is captured accurately and consistently, even in the most demanding industrial settings, fostering reliability and operational continuity.

Precise Measurement, Comprehensive Application Flexibility

The TDLS8000 employs a “measurement with a line using a laser,” which meticulously identifies and prevents dangerous thermal unevenness within processes, ensuring safety and efficiency. Its design allows for the highly accurate measurement of even “low concentration gases by using a reference cell,” a feature critical for environmental compliance and process optimization. The analyzer boasts an impressive “optical path length up to 30 m” and is capable of measuring “hot gas up to 1500℃,” making it suitable for a vast array of high-temperature applications like combustion exhaust gas analysis in power plants, cement kilns, and refinery heaters. It accurately measures key components such as O2, CO, CH4, CO2, H2O, NH3, H2S, and HCl across a wide range, facilitating critical control over combustion efficiency, emissions monitoring, and ensuring safe operating conditions by detecting hazardous gas leaks or imbalances.

Robust Design for Hazardous Environment Deployment

Safety is paramount in industrial environments, and the TDLS8000 is engineered to meet the highest standards. It has acquired extensive “Japanese explosion proof authentication,” alongside global certifications including “IECEx, ATEX certification, FM (US, Canada), KOSHA certification, NEPSI certification, and EAC explosion proof certification.” These comprehensive approvals ensure that the TDLS8000 can be “installed in dangerous places” classified as Zone1/Div1 or Zone2/Div2, providing safe and reliable operation where hazardous gases or combustible dusts may be present. Its robust construction and certified safety features make it an ideal choice for deployment in refineries, chemical plants, and other high-risk industrial facilities.

Maintenance-Free: Maximizing Uptime, Minimizing Costs

One of the most compelling advantages of the TDLS8000 is its virtually “maintenance-free operation.” By design, the analyzer eliminates the need for a sampling device, which traditionally accounts for a significant portion of analyzer maintenance. As a “non-contact type sensor without consumables,” it completely bypasses issues such as leakage or deterioration that plague conventional extractive systems. Furthermore, the innovative design allows for “on-the-spot parts replacement while still installed during repair,” significantly reducing plant downtime and overall maintenance costs. This focus on reliability and ease of service translates directly into improved operational efficiency and a lower total cost of ownership.

Intuitive Operation and Seamless Communication Integration

The TDLS8000 prioritizes user convenience with its “intuitive 7.5-inch color touch screen HMI.” This powerful interface enables “direct simple operation and maintenance” without the need for an external PC, making it accessible to a wider range of personnel. The HMI supports “10 languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Hungarian, Korean, Chinese, and Japanese,” ensuring global usability. It provides comprehensive information, including “trend graphs,” and supports remote installation and management. Standard communication functions such as “HART and Modbus TCP communications” allow for easy checking and adjustment both on-site and from remote locations, reducing installation and maintenance costs and enhancing overall operational flexibility.

Advanced Safety Certifications for Enhanced Protection

The TDLS8000 is built for “safe operation,” adhering to stringent international standards. It conforms to the “safety level SIL2” certification in accordance with IEC61508, which is crucial for safety instrumented systems. For applications demanding even higher integrity, the analyzer can achieve “SIL3 capability by duplexing,” offering an extra layer of protection. This commitment to functional safety, combined with its robust body conforming to various area-segmented “explosion proof standards” for Zone1/Div1 and Zone2/Div2, makes the TDLS8000 a trusted solution for enhancing process safety and protecting personnel and assets in hazardous industrial environments. It also holds DNV Type Approval for marine applications and QAL1 certification for emission monitoring.
