pH Sensor – Brine Leakage Detection HBPH-MK2-LT

HBPH-MK2-LT is a pH sensor designed for the extreme requirements of industrial refrigeration. It is used to measure the pH value of brine in case of an ammonia leak in a heat exchanger. Brine has a pH value of 7, and even for small leaks, the pH will rise to 9-10. The sensor is designed with differential measurement technology that ensures a minimum lifetime of 2 years for the sensor element.

The latest version HBPH-MK2-LT has an improved and protected universal flat-faced glass process electrode specially designed for tough applications.

The HBPH-MK2-LT -sensor can be used together with our “NH3/Brine leakage Display” type HBPH-C1 which is a controller used to calibrate and set up the alarm limit for the HBPH-MK2-LT sensor.

The HBPH-MK2-LT sensor comes with 3-pack salt bridge replacement kit.

TECHNICAL SPECS

Factory Calibration:

A standard factory calibration would guaranty the accuracy of 88% or better (usually in mid 90’s) and the offset of 0.85pH of fewer for a brand new sensor.

This means that the sensor have to calibrated if you need a precise and accurate output. If you like to use the sensor for detecting ammonia leakage into fresh water of mixtures between water and ethanol/methanol/glycol a calibration is normally not needed. If you like to use the sensor in other brines with a higher pH value or in NaCl brines, we strongly recommend a calibration. The reason is that an ammonia leakage will not impact the pH value as much in these fluids, because they act as a buffer.

Using 4mA = 0pH and 20mA = 14pH, the worst case scenario (88% accuracy and max allowed offset) may equate to roughly speaking ±1.0 pH assuming no calibration is done at the installation site.
