Combustion Analysis: Readings, Ratings, & Results
Systems such as boilers, heaters, kilns, furnaces, gas and diesel engines, burners, and stoves require combustion to take place. When installing, repairing, adjusting, or maintaining these systems, it’s important to conduct a combustion analysis in order to ensure the efficiency of the system and the safety of its users.
Today’s combustion analysis equipment makes it easier than ever to monitor gas emissions from these systems and verify that they are working at maximum capacity.
What Is Combustion Analysis?
Combustion analysis is the testing and analysis of the combustion process of your heater, boiler, furnace, stove, engine, or other system. This process is important to determine safety and measure fuel use.
When working with one of these systems, conducting a combustion analysis allows you to calculate its combustion efficiency, monitor the gases it is producing, and diagnose the state of the system.
Combustion Analyzer Readings & Acceptable Combustion Test Results
Combustion analyzers are designed to rate the concentrations of different gases in the air, including oxygen (O2), carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), as well as stack temperature and draft—and these combustion analyzer readings provide you with the real-time data and information you need to find gas leaks, identify hazardous conditions, and make adjustments until concentrations reach safe levels.
Acceptable combustion test results differ for each type of equipment. The best way to analyze the results of a combustion analysis is to check the equipment manufacturer’s specifications. The manufacturer’s handbook will identify acceptable ranges for O2, CO2, CO, smoke, stack temperature, and draft. Based on your analysis, you can then determine your next steps.
This type of equipment is generally easy to use. Most combustion analyzers fit in your hand. When you turn on the analyzer, it starts by clearing out the air in its sensors. Then, after it’s ready, you can bring it into the space and check for gas emissions.
Combustion Analysis Equipment & Gas Emissions Monitors
Combustion analysis equipment and gas emissions monitors are essential to the combustion analysis process. Using these tools will allow you to minimize fuel use, optimize the combustion process, increase efficiency, and ensure safety for others in the commercial or residential building.
Sensit HXG 3P Portable Combustible Gas Leak Detector
The Sensit Technologies HXG 3P is a portable combustible gas leak detector. You can use this device to find gas leaks fast, whether you are monitoring for methane, propane, natural gas, or volatile organic compounds (VOCs). It shows multiple readings on the screen simultaneously, making it easier than ever to quickly analyze the results and detect unsafe levels of gases in the air.
Testo 340 Multigas Combustion Engine Tuning Analyzer
The Testo 340 combustion tuning analyzer calculates CO, O2, NO, NO2, draft and flow, temperature, mass emissions, excess air, and more. The analyzer provides you with the measurements you need to make real-time safety adjustments and identify emissions problems.
Testo 350 Engine Kit for Combustion System Compliance Testing & Troubleshooting
The Testo 350 advanced combustion efficiency analyzer comes with sensors to measure CO, O2, NO, NO2, SO2, temperature and more. You can also add sensors for additional gas monitors to test for additional types of gases such as hydrocarbons, and low range CO & SO. CO2 is measured indirectly with an IR sensor in the presence of other gases. It’s simple to use: Just select a fuel, select a test type, start measuring, and analyze the results based on the manufacturer’s established acceptable ranges.
