Gas analysis involves measurements carried out in thermal equipment with combustion systems in order to quantify the gases generated as a result of the combustion of air and a fuel within the equipment.
Some of the data obtained are the following:
• CO
• CO2
• O2
• NO
• NO2
• Pressure in the flue

Benefits of gas analysis for your thermal equipment
Some of the advantages of conducting such an analysis are:
• Good combustion in the equipment’s burners.
• Compliance with local regulations on environmental issues.
• Keeping burner emissions low.
• Better burner energy efficiency, and therefore reduced fuel consumption.
At Nutec Bickley we perform an emissions analysis to provide a diagnosis of the energy performance and efficiency of the combustion system of your furnace or equipment.
Steps to follow in a gas analysis
First of all, you must have some idea of the temperature of the gases to avoid possible damage to the probe.
1.The first step in undertaking the analysis is to define the point or points where the measurement will be carried out.
2.If possible, measurements should be made at different representative points in the same area.
3.Carry out the measurement and wait until the instrument shows a steady reading.
How do you interpret the data?
Take into account the following criteria:
• High or low CO and CO2 emissions provide an indication of how well or badly the fuel is burning in the burners.
• Low or high NOx levels can suggest high flame temperatures or excess oxygen, which can be detrimental.
• The O2 percentages indicate excess air related to combustion.
Who needs a gas analysis service?
Those experiencing one or more of the following:
• Problems with product quality that may be due to the combustion process.
• Increase in natural gas consumption compared to the usual levels.
• Appearance of smoke with a color different from that normally seen/observed.
• Need to calibrate burners based on emissions data.
