Description

The Rapidox 6100 QU4D Multi-Gas Pumpback is an advanced multi-gas analyzer from Cambridge Sensotec (United Kingdom) featuring the QU4D (Quad Upstream Dual) configuration, allowing simultaneous analysis of up to 4 gases. The instrument is equipped with a Pump Back gas return function to minimize emissions.

Purpose and Applications

What is the QU4D configuration?

QU4D (Quad Upstream Dual) is a unique sensor configuration:

Characteristic Description
Quad 4 sensors simultaneously
Upstream Direct gas flow
Dual Dual analysis

Advantages of QU4D

  • Up to 4 gases — simultaneous analysis
  • Modular configuration — tailored to the task
  • Flexibility — sensor replacement
  • Future upgrades — new gases

Application in the power industry

The Rapidox 6100 QU4D is used for:

  • Comprehensive analysis — complete SF6 investigation
  • Condition diagnostics — insulation assessment
  • Decomposition detection — arcing by-products
  • Special gases — analysis of unique impurities

Key Features

Analysis of up to 4 gases simultaneously

The QU4D configuration allows analysis of:

Base gases (SF6)

  • SF6 — primary concentration 0-100%
  • H2O — moisture (dew point -60°C to +20°C)
  • SO2 — sulfur dioxide (decomposition product)
  • H2S — hydrogen sulfide (decomposition product)

Additional gases (configuration-dependent)

  • CO — carbon monoxide
  • CF4 — carbon tetrafluoride
  • O2 — oxygen
  • N2 — nitrogen
  • Other gases — upon customer request

Modular sensor configuration

  • QU4D — 4 sensors (standard)
  • QU2D — 2 sensors (basic)
  • QU6D — 6 sensors (extended)
  • Sensor replacement — by the user

Pump Back Function (Gas Return)

  • Sampling — gas is drawn from the equipment
  • Analysis — all quality parameters are measured
  • Return — clean SF6 is pumped back
  • Result — minimal gas loss

Advantages of Pump Back

Economic

  • SF6 is an expensive gas — priced up to $100+ per kg
  • Loss minimization — up to 99% gas return
  • Refill savings — fewer new gas purchases
  • Fast payback — within a few analyses

Environmental

  • SF6 is a greenhouse gas — 23,500 times more potent than CO2
  • Zero Emission — zero emissions into the atmosphere
  • Kyoto Protocol compliance — emission reduction
  • Environmental responsibility — green technologies
