Flue gas suction pump
The pump
, inside the gas analyser, is a diaphragm pump with a motor. It is energized in direct current directly by the in-
strument in a way to get an optimal suction of ue gases.
•Flue gas probe
Probe in stainless steel with a handle in plastic, with a standard length of 30 cm (12") and with an adjustable positioning
cone to maintain the contact tip inside the duct. The probe is connected to the instrument by 3 m (10') of dual hose. Other
probe lengths (75 cm, 1 m and 1.5 m) are avalaible as options.
•Interchangeable measurement sensors
The analyzer uses electrochemical sensors to measure the oxygen, the carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide . Measurement sensors (including NO, Low NO, NOx and low NOx) are interchangeable. 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 used. It is recommended to perform this measurement to make the efciency calculation of
the installation more precise.
•Pressure sensors
1.Min-DIN connection for optional CO
and CO
ambient air probes

2.Thermocouple connection for air temperature
The standard semiconductor type pressure sensor can measure draft and differential pressure (deltaP) for a range of ±200
mbar (±80 in WC). An optional high accuracy pressure measurement can be added for a range of ±500 Pa.
•Supply input of ue gases and +/- pressure
There are two hose connections coming from the probe that connect to the bottom of the analyzer. One comes from the
water trap assembly and connects to the gas inlet (labelled “G” and colored black) while the other connects to the high
pressure inlet (labelled “P+” and colored orange).

12.5 Perform a Stack Gas Velocity measurement with a Pitot tube
To perform this test, it is necessary to have a Pitot tube Type L or Type S.
Place and connect the L Pitot tube:
The Pitot tube must be introduced perpendicularly, in the middle into the duct and parallel to the ow.
The head (ending with an ellipsoidal nose) must be maintained parallel and facing the ow.
The total pressure (+) caught by the nose, is connected to the P+ at the bottom of the analyzer.
The static pressure (-) caught by the holes of the head, is connected to the P- at the bottom of the analyzer.
Place and connect the S Pitot tube:
The S-type Pitot tube is inserted into the stack and rotated until the differential pressure measurement is greatest for a
given location in the stack. The proper orientation is for the high pressure side of the S-type Pitot tube tip to face into the
direction of the stack gas ow as shown in the diagram.
The holes must be perfectly aligned with the air or gas ow direction.
The Pitot tube S is more sensitive to alignment errors thas the Pitot tube L.
The connecting to the measurement device must be carried out like following:
• The leg in front of the air ow is connected to the P+ sign of the analyzer.
• The leg at the opposite of the air ow is connected to the P– sign of the analyzer
When the connections are made and “Other measurements” screen is displayed :
• Tap “Stack Gas Velocity”.
The analyzer displays the following measurements: Velocity, Volume ow and Mass Flow.
• Tap the K value to modify it if necessary (K value must be between 0.0000 and 99.0000).
Recommended values are: 0.84 for S-Type Pilot tube and 1.0015 for L-Type Pilot tube.
• For proper calculations of volumetric ow rate and mass ow rate, enter correct stack cross-sectional (see chapter
"7.13 Set the stack cross-sectional area" on page 23)
30 Perform other measurementsPerform other measurements31
12.6 Perform a measurement ofsmoke/opacity
It is possible to enter in the analyzer from 1 to 3 smoke/opacity indexes performed thanks to smoke/opacity pump available as option.
The smoke/opacity index consists of the measurement of solid waste of combustion in the ue with a pump and a lter
of measurement. The lter coloration is compared with a table reference composed by 10 greyed areas numbered from
0 to 9.
12.6.1 Perform the measurement
Preliminary operation: to avoid the condensation in the pump, it is necessary to breathe in WITHOUT FILTER fresh air before performing a measurement
13. Maintenance of the analyzer
13.1 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 qualied by
Sauermann.

•
Put the paper lter in the pump.
•
Insert tip of pump into the ue/stack.
The necessary gas volume for a measurement of opacity corresponds to about 10 pump strok
