Smoke Density Meter SDM V9

Model SDM V9

Smoke density meter SDM V9 that continuously measures stack smoke opacity from 0–100% across paths up to 20 m, with automatic daily and hourly exceedance calculation, self-alignment, zero and reference checks, 4–20 mA and RS485 Modbus outputs.

Overview

About the Smoke Density Meter SDM V9.

The SDM V9 smoke density meter continuously monitors smoke emission from all kinds of combustion and the soot contamination of inert gas. A sender mounted on one side of the chimney projects a light beam to a receiver on the other side, and the controller calculates opacity from the transmitted and forward-scattered light. Automatic self-alignment keeps the beam in the optimum position and prevents incorrect readings, while automatic zero and reference point checks and contamination monitoring keep the measurement reliable. Readings are recorded continuously in percent, and the controller calculates smoke limit exceedances on a daily and hourly basis.

Features

  • Continuous monitoring and recording of opacity in percent (%)
  • Automatic calculation of smoke limit exceedance, daily and hourly
  • Scanning distance up to 20 m across the stack
  • Automatic self-alignment, zero and reference point check and contamination monitoring
  • Two 4–20 mA outputs, RS485 Modbus and an SPDT alarm relay
  • CE mark by TÜV
  • Helps improve combustion efficiency

Benefits

  • Better accuracy over shorter path lengths
  • Reliable operation through redundant measurement
  • Low maintenance thanks to the self-monitoring function
  • Ready for decreasing emission limit values

Options

  • Blower kit for air purge (auto cleaner)
  • Compressed air kit with pressure regulator, in-line filters and purge body adapters
  • Multipurpose mounting bracket

Applications

  • Palm oil mills
  • Paper mills
  • Gas-fuelled boilers
  • Aluminium plants
