FLUE GAS ANALYSER GA-20These may not all be the newest versions, but they give an idea of what to expect from equipment of this type.
This type of flue gas analyser is used for standard efficiency testing and ensuring that combustion equipment is working correctly. Combustion efficiency is probably one of the most interesting factors for large-scale users of fuel. This is one of the major cost-factors in many industries and changes in combustion effiiciency are a good guide to changes in the state of the equipment.
Many pieces of equipment are nowadays capable of being remotely controlled or, at least, remotely read. The RS232C protocol is probably the most commonly used system for this purpose. A slightly changed code is the RS485 protocol. This allows a number of instruments or devices to be connected together and be equipped with an address in the net which can be used for identification and communication.
The gas monitor serves a slightly different function to a flue gas analyser. Gas monitors are generally used for production control or permanent observation of a system.
