Model 29972

Model 29972 measures gas concentrations in beer or carbonated liquids. There are two models:

• Model 29972 is used with an electrochemical (EC) sensor.

• Model 29972.M is used with a luminescent dissolved oxygen (LDO) sensor.

The two models include the piercing head model 29974 pre-assembled. Refer to photo Q in Figure 2

on page 6.

The piercing needle assembly (Q3 in Figure 2 on page 6) pierces cans, metal or plastic caps or

crowns used in the beer industry. The piercing assembly has a piercer tube surrounded by a rubber

seal (Q4 in Figure 2 on page 6) for a perfect sealing between the bottle cap and the external

medium, within which the stainless steel cylindrical sampling tube can move. There are two types of

piercing knifes (Q35 in Figure 2 on page 6):

• Model 28072 for piercing metal caps

• Model 29979 for piercing PET bottles or plastic caps

Theory of operation

The beverage package sampler is used with an ORBISPHERE indicating instrument for analysis of

the oxygen, carbon dioxide and/or nitrogen gas content of a beverage. The ORBISPHERE indicating

instrument is supplied separately.

The indicating instrument reads and shows the measurement data from the package sampler sensor.

The indicating instrument is available in a portable, panel or wall mount version. Different indicating

instruments can be used. Refer to the indicating instrument documentation for additional information

(e.g., installation procedures, electrical connections).

The beverage package sampler holds the package sample being analyzed. A separate supply of

forcing gas moves the package liquid to the flow chamber, where the senor is installed. The sensor

and flow chamber are installed on the side of the sampler in a special sensor holder. The flow

chamber pulls liquid samples from the beverage sampler (e.g., bottle, can) to the sensor for analysis.

Different types of flow chambers are available for the different beverage package sampler

applications. The indicating instrument senses and shows on the display the package gas

concentration. The complete system supplies electrical and liquid connections to the instrument, to

the sensors and to the gas supplies.

Note: This manual is applicable to the ORBISPHERE Beverage Package Sampler models 29971 and 29972. Refer

to the user manual supplied with the gas analyzer indicating instrument that is used with the beverage package

sampler.

orifice opposite the purge gas inlet and push firmly. To remove the tube, push on the ring around

the tube and pull.

3. Make sure that there is no loss of purge gas supply while the sensor is in a liquid sample and

always when the sensor is in line. If necessary, use a backup purge gas cylinder and an

automatic change-over valve, which operates when the first cylinders gas supply has expired.

Change-over valves are frequently known as flip-flop valves and are available from local gas

regulator suppliers.

4. Examine the purge gas flow rate as follows:

a. Connect the sensor to the instrument. Set the instrument to on. The inner solenoid valve in

the sensor opens and lets the gas to flow.

b. Put the open end of the exit tube in water.

c. Adjust the gas flow rate so that there is a minimum of three bubbles each second.

d. Remove the exit tube from the water.

Note: Do not keep the exit tube in the water, because water can go back in the tube and cause damage to

the CO

2

sensor.

Install a regulator and filter (optional)

When the beverage package sampler is used for analysis of the CO

2

or N

2

content of a liquid, a TC

sensor is used. TC sensors must have a constant supply of purge gas for operation. The regulator

keeps a constant pressure of the purge gas to the TC sensor.

Use the optional ORBISPHERE model 29089 regulator and filter to make sure that the purge gas is

dry and kept at a correct pressure. The regulator is connected in-line with the purge gas supply,

directly to the purge gas entry port of the TC sensor. Install the regulator with the supplied stainless-

steel tubing connected to the CO

2

or N

2

sensor. Make sure to install the regulator vertical (±5%).

Obey the flow direction: from left to right (with the gauge in the front). Refer to Figure 6.

A gauge on the regulator shows the pressure of the gas. Turn the pressure adjuster knob on the top

of the unit to adjust the pressure of the purge gas. Refer to Specifications on page 3 for the correct

gas pressure.

Make sure to drain the condensate at periodic intervals for a correct compressed air filter

maintenance. Open the condensate bleed screw to blow the moisture with pressure. Refer to

Figure 6.The filter is made of sintered metal. An O-ring keeps the filter in the correct position when

the filter bowl is removed. Clean or replace the filter if the filter becomes heavily contaminated. Use

rinsing water and compressed air to clean the filter.

Personal injury hazard. Glass components can break. Handle with care to prevent cuts.

Before measurements are started, do the steps that follow:

1. Make sure that the indicating instrument is correctly installed and configured. Refer to the

indicating instrument documentation.

2. Make sure that the connections between the indicating instrument and the sensor(s) on the

beverage package sampler are correct.

3. Always keep the indicating instrument energized to make sure that TC sensors are continuously

purged when the sensors are used in a liquid sample.

Note: The instrument is configured to continuously purge automatically while set to on.

4. Examine and prepare the sensors as follows:

a. Examine the oxygen sensor (EC). Shipping conditions can adversely have an effect on

oxygen sensors. Prepare the sensor for use. Refer to the maintenance section of the EC

Sensor documentation.

b. Examine the oxygen sensor (LDO). Prepare the sensor for use. Refer to the sensor

documentation.

c. Examine the TC sensor purge gas supply. Make sure that the gas supply operates before the

CO

5. Make sure that the gas pressure is 0.5 to 1 bar more than the dissolved CO

2

pressure of the

sample. Do not exceed the maximum permitted pressure for the package (bottle or can) or the

package could explode. For measurements with TC sensors, it is important to use the same

forcing gas pressure for both: calibration and gas measurement operations.

6. Shake the package, if applicable. In some beverage sampling applications, it is necessary to

shake the beverage packages to equilibrate the contents of the package. Use a reciprocating

shaker for a minimum of 3 minutes.

Indicating instrument setup

Make sure that the indicating instrument setup is completed before the measurements are started.

Configure parameters such as the gas to measure, the display units and the sensor membrane used.

Refer to the indicating instrument documentation for additional information.

Adjust the package position

Before the measurements are started, adjust the beverage package sampler for the type of beverage

sample container (bottle or can). Refer to Figure 7 and to the steps that follow:

1. Push the top (moveable) black block to the highest position (A) to lift the piercing and sampling

assembly.

2. Make sure that the piercing lever (B) is in a vertical position.

3. Hold the piercing unit sliding assembly with one hand and loosen the orange handle (C).

4. Lift the piercing unit sliding assembly upwards on the two metal columns.

5. Put the beverage sample to be analyzed on the mat of the base plate (D).

Make sure to vertically install the beverage sample. If possible, pierce cans through the top. If

there is not sufficient area for piercing in the top of the can because of the tab, then pierce

through the bottom. Piercing through the bottom has the advantage that the metal is thicker and

less easily deformed, but sometimes has the disadvantage that the piercing needle becomes

immersed in the beverage.

6. Lower the piercing unit carefully until the piercing head support plate with the circular hole

touches the top of the beverage sample (E). The piercing head support prevents unwanted

movement of the beverage sample.

7. Lift the orange handle to the upper position of the groove and tighten it again.

The unit is prepared for measurement.

Note: If the type of package sample is changed, such as a different dimension bottle or can, do the adjust package

procedure again.
