Oxygen and Combustibles Analyzer

Professional oxygen and combustibles analyzer helps HVAC/R technicians, boiler and furnace specialists, building maintenance engineers, and plumbers test gas combustion of natural gas, propane, or other fuel burning appliances. These analyzers use a pump, probe and gas sample tubing to draw a flue gas sample and then analyze it for CO, O2, water, NOx, and unburned fuel.

Oxygen combustibles analyzer are critical to ensure the equipment is properly firing at a proper air/fuel ratio. If there is too much fuel and not enough oxygen, the process will be inefficient and costly to operate. Incorrect operation can also cause carbon monoxide (CO) breakthrough, which is dangerous for occupants and may indicate poor combustion or a cracked heat exchanger. Combustibles measurements are important to monitor the flammability of gases and vapors in a given environment, as well as to detect any flame out or gas leaks during start-up and normal operation.

Understanding Hydrogen Levels: The Functionality of Hydrogen Analyzers

Most combustion analyzers use electrochemical cell technology sensors to measure O2, CO, and combustibles. The sensors work by emitting infrared light that is absorbed by the gas molecules. The sensor then transmits a current proportional to the detected gas concentration to an onboard microprocessor for display and processing. The microprocessor can calculate the relevant data and output a reading on the display screen as well as an electronic signal that can be used for recorders or other equipment. Some units also feature advanced functions such as bluetooth and data logging.
