Define Combustion analyser.

A combustion analyzer is a portable device used to measure and analyze the combustion process in combustion equipment, such as boilers, furnaces, heaters, and engines. It provides real-time data on various combustion parameters, including oxygen (O2) concentration, carbon monoxide (CO) levels, flue gas temperature, and efficiency, allowing for precise monitoring and optimization of combustion performance.

The combustion analyzer works by sampling flue gases from the combustion chamber or exhaust stack and analyzing their composition using sensors and detectors. It typically consists of a probe, sampling hose, analyzer unit, and display screen. The probe is inserted into the flue gas stream, and the sampling hose transports the gas to the analyzer unit, where it undergoes analysis.

The combustion analyzer measures the concentrations of O2 and CO in the flue gas, which are key indicators of combustion efficiency and safety. By analyzing these parameters, users can adjust combustion settings, optimize fuel-air ratios, and ensure complete combustion, leading to improved energy efficiency, reduced emissions, and enhanced safety compliance.

Combustion analyzers are essential tools for HVAC technicians, boiler operators, maintenance personnel, and environmental engineers involved in combustion equipment maintenance, troubleshooting, and performance optimization. They help identify combustion problems, such as incomplete combustion, excessive emissions, and inefficient operation, and provide actionable insights to improve overall combustion efficiency and reliability.
