1.5 Intended use
HORIBA's CC-100E is used to check the efficiency of the conversion of NOx to NO, as is common in NOx
analysers in flue gas analysis or process gas measurement. By means of ozone production through high-
voltage discharge and mixing with externally supplied nitrogen monoxide (NO), exact NO2 concentrations
are generated in a short reaction time.

Electrical safety
DANGER
Electrical voltage
Danger of electric shock
There are parts in the unit that are under dangerous voltage
a) The unit may only be opened by instructed, skilled personnel.
b) Disconnect the unit from the mains at all poles when carrying out maintenance
work on electrical components. To do this, pull out the mains plug. Simply
switching off the unit at the mains switch is not sufficient!
c) Secure the unit against unintentional restart.
d)
Work on the opened device when it is live may only be carried out by a specialist
who is familiar with the associated dangers.
Switch off in an emergency
WARNING
Emergency
Uncontrollable operation of the appliance, occurrence of fire and smoke.
a) Switch off the unit and disconnect the mains plug.
b)
Close the valves on the gas cylinders or the external feeds.
Hazardous substances
WARNING
Toxic gases
The unit handles toxic gases. Uncontrolled leakage of these gases can cause a
serious accident such as poisoning.
a) Connect the system according to this manual.
b) Use the specified connections as well as hoses and pipes and connect them
gas-tight.
c) Check that the applied gas pressure corresponds to the nominal value.
d)

3.3 Description
The HORIBA Converter Checker CC-100E is a compact device for checking the reliability of gas analysers
for determining the NOx content in exhaust gases. For this purpose, the device generates ozone from an
oxygen-saturated atmosphere in a high-voltage unit, mixes the ozone with externally supplied NO and
produces a gas mixture with a precise NO2 concentration. The CC-100E is optimised for high stability and
short reaction times.
The operating principle of the NOx Converter-Checker CC-100E is based on gas phase titration (GPT). Gas
phase titration generally refers to any titration carried out in the gas phase. More specifically, it is a method
for determining reactive fractions in the gas phase by reacting with the excess of another gas that serves
as the titrant. In our case, the gaseous analyte is ozone, which can be "titrated" with nitric oxide according
to the following reaction
O3 + NO → O2 + NO2.
The unknown NO concentration can then be determined from measuring the concentration of the reaction
products.
Compared to simple spectrophotometry, gas phase titration has two advantages:
The measurement is not dependent on the path length of the gas path, as the same gas path is used for
both the measurement of the excess titrant and the measurement of the product.
The measurement also does not depend on the linear change in absorbance as a function of the
concentration of the gas to be analysed (Beer-Lambert law). Therefore, the method is particularly suitable
for such samples whose components interfere at similar wavelengths as the analysis gas.
