2. Introduction

2.1 Analyzer description

The Si-CA 030 is a ue gas analyzer for emissions monitoring of boiler, engine, & other combustion applications with two
or three gas sensors. Its main features are the following :

• Gas sensor options include O2, CO, NO

• Draft/pressure measurements

• Large color screen

• Calculated values include combustion efciency ,excess air and CO

• Mobile phone App for remote display and control

2

2.2 Main features

• Screen

Color screen, 7.1 cm (2.8''), 320 x 240 pixels with backlight. It allows to display measured parameters in a more comfort­able format for the operator.

• Battery charger

The instrument is supplied with a 5 V, 2 A power adapter to charge the internal batteries. The current loading is indicated
by a battery symbol on the top right of the screen. To ensure a complete charge, the battery charging time is 6.5 hours.
The voltage of the power supply is 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. The USB cable included with the analyzer connects the power
supply to the device.

This gas analyzer is designed to measure parameters of ue gas in exhaust stream of combustion

• Flue gas suction pump

The pump, inside the gas analyzer, is a diaphragm pump with a motor. It is energized in direct current directly by the in­strument in a way to get an optimal suction of ues gases.

• Flue gas probe

Probe in stainless steel with a handle in plastic, with a standard length of 18 or 30 cm (7" or 12") and with an adjustable
positioning cone to maintain the contact tip inside the duct. The probe is connected to the instrument by 2 or 3 m (6.6' or
10') of dual hose. Other probe lengths (including 75 cm) are avalaible as options.

• Interchangeable measurement sensors

The analyzer uses electrochemical sensors to measure the oxygen (O2) and the carbon monoxide (CO) and nitric oxyde
(NO). Regularly recharge the battery to guarantee an optimal operating of the electrochemical sensors.
It is absolutely necessary to avoid falling to 0% battery as this would irreversibly damage the cells.

• Temperature sensors

Flue gas temperature is measured with a thermocouple integrated in the contact tip. The connection to the analyzer is
made thanks to a single male type K thermocouple (nickel-nickel chromium) connector for measurements up to 1250 °C
(2282 °F).
The instrument has a NTC thermoresistance sensor for the measurement of internal temperature; this sensor is also used
for the measurement of ambient temperature.
If a temperature control of the combustive air must be performed directly by the supply duct (e.g.room sealed boiler), a
TcK temperature probe can be used. It is recommended to perform this measurement to make the efciency calculation
of the installation more precise.

• Pressure sensors

The standard semiconductor type pressure sensor can measure draft and differential pressure (deltaP) for a range of ±200
mbar (±80 in WC).

colored orange).

• Fuel types

The analyzer is supplied with technical data which characterizes the most common fuels. It is also possible to add user
dened fuels and their corresponding coefcients if needed.

• Calibration certicate

The analyzer is calibrated by comparison with standard of metrology laboratories, which are periodically certied closed
to laboratories known at the international level. Each analyzer is supplied with its calibration certicate in which, for each
measured parameter, are indicated the nominal value, the one measured, the admitted error limits and the found error.

Preliminary operation: to avoid the condensation in the pump, it is necessary to breathe in WITH­OUT FILTER fresh air before performing a measurement

• Put the paper lter in the pump.

• Pump out ue gas in the middle of the ue.

The necessary gas volume for a measurement of opacity corresponds to about 10 pump aspirations.

• Compare the lter clogging to the reference table to determine the smoke/opacity index.

• Make the same operation several times if necessary, replace the lter each time.

12. Maintenance of the analyzer

12.1 Life-time of the sensors

Gas sensors are electrochemical type: inside them, in the presence of gas to detect, a chemical reaction occurs that causes
an emission of electrical current. The electric current strength detected by the instrument is converted into a correspond­ing gas concentration. The life-time of the sensor is strongly linked to the reagent consumption present in the sensor. As
their consumption increases, features of the sensor are getting worse until their exhaustion, after which it is necessary
to replace it. To ensure the measurement accuracy, sensors have to be calibrated only in Assistance center qualied by
Sauermann.

Sensor Average life-time Required calibration

4 to 5 years Annual
CO 2 to 5 years Annual
NO 2 to 5 years Annual

Regularly recharge the battery to guarantee optimal operations of the electrochemical sensors.
Do not leave the instrument an empty battery charge. Make sure the battery is always charged
even during a long period of non use.

12.2 Replace used sensor

Follow this procedure to replace a used sensor:
The analyzer must be turned OFF.
