Anton Sprint Pro Flue Gas Analysers

Brand new for winter 2018, the Anton Sprint Pro flue gas analyser range contains several different instruments aimed at gas engineers in various sectors. Despite the wide choice and varied functionality, all six models share uniform advantages such as their reliable design, innovative moisture protection system, and advanced connectivity. We have summarised the key points of the range and provided a useful comparison so that technicians can choose the most appropriate analyser for their needs as winter sets in.

Double Protection from Moisture

One of the leading causes of downtime for flue gas analysers is moisture ingress into the analyser itself via the flue probe as the temperature differential between the boiler and the flue causes excessive condensation. Once moisture gets into the body of the analyser, it can cause damage which requires the unit to be sent away and repaired. In the meantime, users face a choice of hiring a unit or missing out on jobs. Anton have introduced several features to the new Sprint Pro range in order to combat this problem.

Firstly, all of the analysers now benefit from a double condensate trap in the flue probe. A PTFE filter is located at the top of the trap and the analyser will automatically detect the blockage and halt the sampling process when water reaches the filter. A second PTFE filter is positioned above the first, just at the entry point of the analyser for an additional layer of protection. The condensate trap is very easy to disassemble and empty on site after blowing through the probe line. Furthermore, there is a foam filter that is very easy to squeeze out and then re-use so the user can keep working without having to worry about carrying spare filters.

Smart Operation with Anton Sprint Mobile App

Models from the Anton Sprint Pro3 upwards boast wireless connectivity that allows communication with the user’s smartphone via the Anton Sprint Mobile App. The app offers the user a wide range of different pre- and post-inspection options including calculation of pipe size and radiator numbers, a boiler manual catalogue, customer database, customised report generation, scheduling options and realtime value calculations. Furthermore, notes and pictures can be stored alongside standard appliance information in a carefully structured database.

Robust, Practical Construction

Alongside the innovative condensate filter, the Anton Sprint Pro has several practical features that will help prevent downtime. Notably, the condensate filter itself has a built in bumper and is made of the same material as crash helmets so it is capable of withstanding the day-to-day challenges of use in the field. Furthermore, the click-in probe connector is useful for quickly changing and emptying flue probes on site. The entire design of the analysers is geared towards quick, easy maintenance coupled with a sturdy build.

Which Analyser is Right for You?

The sheer variety of the Anton Sprint Pro range is one of its most impressive features. Options start with the entry-level Anton Sprint Pro1 which boasts basic measurement functions such as temperature, CO and O2 as well as calculation of CO2, CO/CO2 ratio and efficiency. The Pro2 adds tightness and let by testing whilst the more advanced models feature a range of different functions from direct CO2 measurement to NO measurement and gas leak detection. A full breakdown is shown below and further options are provided by a selection of kits for each analyser that feature accessories such as printers, pipe clamp probes and flueless appliance CPA1 probes. Additionally, should the user's needs change over time, it is possible to upgrade all models apart from the Sprint Pro1 by adding new features available in the rest of the range. This makes the range truly future proof!
