6888 Analyzer
Overview
The 6888 is a combustion analyzer which measures the oxygen remaining in ue gases from any
combustion process (boiler, furnace, etc.) by controlling the air to fuel ratios, the optimum
ue gas O2 variations in air density, or fuel BTU that are compensated. Other benets are reaching
maximum efciency with the lowest NOx and minimum CO2 emissions.
This latest version of the 6888 has an optional online Calibration Recommended diagnostic to
indicate when the analyzer needs to be calibrated.
Also, internal gas-switching solenoids direct calibration gases to the sensing cell, which provides
on-line calibration, all while the boiler or furnace is in operation.
Calibrations can also be initiated based on time since last calibration or manually.
Pneumatic Installation
Manual bottle-switching is not possible with this
system, so do a good job on the installation. Do a leak
check on all the ttings to prevent bleeding of the cal gas
bottles over time.
Reference air is optional. (You can just leave this port
open to atmosphere.)
If used, make sure that the instrument air is clean and
dry, and mount the reference air owmeter similarly to
the cal gas owmeters.
