flue gas analyser

The Energy-related Product Directive (ErP) is a wide ranging piece of EU legislation that aims to reduce emissions in Europe through improving the labelling and efficiency of a wide range of appliances from lighting to refrigerators. It has now been in force for a number of years having first been passed in 2009 but various provisions have come into force at later dates. These include Regulation 813/2013 that sets out requirements for the eco design of space heaters and combination heaters.

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.

Test-Meter.co.uk currently stocks a wide range of Kane Flue Gas Analysers suitable for use on a variety of different combustion systems including boilers, flueless appliances and professional catering appliances. With several different measurement functions available and compatibility with various fuel types, this post aims to explain the different options and help gas engineers select the right instrument for them.

Introduced in April 2013, Technical Bulletin 143 from the Heating and Hotwater Industry Council (HHIC) outlines a safer procedure for commissioning condensing boilers without air/gas ratio valves. Following a small number of carbon monoxide poisoning incidents involving newly commissioned units, the HHIC, boiler manufacturers and other industry bodies have worked together to produce a new testing procedure that is clear, safe and comprehensive.

Carbon monoxide CO is a killer gas that can strike without warning to both humans and pets it’s also odourless, tasteless and colourless so it can be hard to detect by human senses alone. Every year in the UK people of all ages die or suffer from carbon monoxide poisoning. Some have even suffered brain damage and paralysis although this is most likely if the individual has breathed in CO over a long period.
