Performance of a process, near infrared, photo-diode array based instrument for hydrocarbon fuels analysis
- Perkin-Elmer Corp., Norwalk, CT (United States)
The use of a 1024 element silicon photodiode-array (PDA) detector for the design of analytical spectrophotometers has been proposed since the early 1970s. The practical implementation of this technology did not occur for another decade. Traditional problems associated with interferometer-and moving dispersive grating based systems arise from mechanical misalignment and wear of critical moving parts with time. PDA technology represents the potential of increased measurement longevity due to a fixed grating and detector assembly. The purpose of this paper is to delineate the particulars of design and performance characteristics associated with using PDA-based spectrophotometer for hydrocarbon fuels analysis.
