The new PCA 3 is the definitive combustion and emissions analyzer that enables fast and accurate measurement for on demand or semi continuous sampling of light industrial, institutional, commercial and residential furnaces, boilers and appliances.

The PCA 3 is the perfect tool for service technicians and boiler contractors who need to ensure safe operating conditions, determine efficiency and perform emissions testing. This lightweight, handheld combustion and emissions analyzer directly measures and display Flue Gas Oxygen (O2), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Stack Temperature, Draft, Differential Pressure, Combustion Air Temperature and optionally measures and display Nitric Oxide (NO), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), and Sulfur Dioxide (SO2). The PCA 3 simultaneously calculates and display Combustion Efficiency (EFF), Excess Air (EA), Carbon Dioxide (CO2), NOx and Oxygen reference values. Plus, the PCA 3 performs combustion calculations for ten different fuels and uses up to six field upgradeable electrochemical sensors. With its large, bright full-color graphic display, reading combustion and emissions test results in any work environment has never been easier!

Features

• Large, full color graphic display with bright backlighting, zoom display and dimming mode
• Sturdy metal gas and draft connectors
• Uses up to 6 electrochemical sensors - field upgradeable
• Unique B-Smart sensor technology saves downtime and calibration costs
• Ten different fuels - ability to load custom fuels
• Automatic CO over-range protection
• Measures and display flue gas oxygen, carbon monoxide, stack temperature, combustion air temperature, draft and differential pressure
• Loss and efficiency are calculated from standard heat loss calculations or using the Siegert formula for Europe
• Multilingual display
