PDAs located nearby using Bluetooth wireless technology. It has a library of 15 fuels. It
is designed to operate on its internal rechargeable battery pack as well as AC power.
The basic operation is as follows:
You insert the extraction probe in the stack of an operating combustion source such as
a boiler, furnace, or combustion engine. A pump located inside the instrument draws a
small sample of the stack gas. The sample is conditioned in a separate drawer
compartment located inside the unit. The gas sensors analyze the contents of the stack
gas and its temperature and calculate & display the results. In addition, an optional Pitot
tube measures the velocity of the stack gases, which allows for mass emissions
calculations. The results can also be stored in memory, printed out, or sent remotely to
a computer using the Bluetooth wireless communications. The source operator can
make the required adjustments on the combustion source based on the analysis of the
stack conditions to optimize performance of the combustion source.
