DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATIONS 
1-1 OVERVIEW 
This manual describes the Heated Flame 
Ionization Detector (HFID) Analyzer Module of 
Rosemount Analytical's NGA2000 Series of 
gas analysis components. See Figure 1-1 
below and Figure 1-2 on page 3. 
The HFID Analyzer Module is designed to 
continuously determine the concentration of 
hydrocarbons in a flowing gaseous mixture at 
a user-selectable temperature setpoint be-
tween 93
°C and 204°C (200°F and 400°F). 
The concentration is expressed in ppm or 
percent of volume. 
The entire HFID Analyzer Module is designed 
as a stand-alone module, with gas connec-
tions made from the rear. All electronics rela-
tive to sample detection and conditioning are 
included in this module. 
1-2 TYPICAL 
APPLICATIONS 
The monitoring of atmospheric air for low-level 
hydrocarbon contaminants and determining 
the hydrocarbon content of exhaust emissions 
from internal combustion engines are exam-
ples of typical applications for the HFID Ana-
lyzer Module. 
1-3  THEORY OF TECHNOLOGY 
This Analyzer Module uses the flame ioniza-
tion method of detection. The sensor is a 
burner in which a regulated flow of sample 
gas passes through a flame sustained by 
regulated flows of a fuel gas (a hydro-
gen/diluent mixture) and air. 
Within the flame, the hydrocarbon compo-
nents of the sample stream undergo a com-
plex ionization that produces electrons and 
positive ions. Polarized electrodes collect 
these ions, causing current to flow through an 
electronic measuring circuit. 
The ionization current is proportional to the 
rate at which carbon atoms enter the burner, 
and is therefore a measure of the concentra-
tion of hydrocarbons in the sample. This 
measure of concentration is placed on the 
network, where it can be shown on a data ac-
quisition device.
