  8. Combustion Analyzer What Does It Do? • Measures the composition of flue gases after combustion Monitoring Equipment • Basically all combustion analyzers measure the % Oxygen or CO2 in the flue gases • The efficiency can be calculated with an inbuilt programme Figure: A fyrite combustion analyzer © UNEP 2005

  9. Combustion Analyzer Where & How It’s Used • Determines the composition of flue gases in the duct, which flushes out the combusted gases to the chimney • The flue gases’ composition values are based on volume Monitoring Equipment Figure: A gas combustion analyzer • Usually measure the % CO2 or O2 and the temperature of the flue gas • Mostly, the flue gases are sucked out in order to react with chemical cells that enables the reading of O2 or CO2 © UNEP 2005

  10. Combustion Analyzer Precautions • Always calibrate the instrument in open fresh air before taking a set of measurements • Check for clogging of the air filters • Ensure that the rubber tubing carrying the gases to the instrument is not bended • Wrap the opening space left by cotton rags to ensure that there is no in- or exfiltration of air • Use of hand gloves, goggles and safety helmet • Safety and precautions should be consulted from the operation manual Monitoring Equipment © UNEP 2005

  12. Manometers What Does It Do? • A manometer is a pressure measuring instrument that measure the differential pressure across two points • The liquid-column manometer is the oldest type and can be a simple U-shaped tube that is half-full of liquid • The pressure to be measured is applied to one side of the tube and is then represented by the difference in liquid levels in the tube legs Monitoring Equipment © UNEP 2005

  13. c a b Manometers Principles • The manometer is a U-tube half filled with liquid. When both ends of the tube are open, the liquid is at the same height in each leg. • When positive pressure is applied to one leg, the liquid is forced down and up in the other leg. The difference in height, "h” indicates the pressure. Monitoring Equipment • When vacuum is applied to one leg, the liquid rises in that leg and falls in the other. The difference in height, "h," indicates the amount of vacuum. h h Figure: Principles of a manometer © UNEP 2005

  14. Manometers Types of Manometers • A single-limb liquid-column manometer use a large reservoir and a scale beside a narrower column and can be used to measure small differences between great pressures • Use the deflection of a flexible membrane that seals a fixed pressure reference volume to determine the pressure • Use a coiled tube that as it expands due to pressure increase causes rotation of an arm connected to the tube Monitoring Equipment © UNEP 2005

  15. Manometers Where & How It’s Used • The air velocity in ducts can be measured using a pitot tube and inclined manometer for further calculation of flows • The difference in level of the manometer gives the total velocity pressure • The two openings at the end of the pitot tube are always connected to the two openings of the manometer Monitoring Equipment Precautions • Should not be exposed to very high pressures © UNEP 2005

  17. Thermometers Contact Thermometer • Consists of two dissimilar metals that are joined together at one end • As the temp. changes at the junction of the two metals, a voltage is produced that can be correlated back to the temp. • Measures flue gas, hot air and hot water temp. through a probe in the stream • The four most common calibrations are J, K, T and E, and those for high temperature calibrations include R, S, C and GB Monitoring Equipment © UNEP 2005

  18. Thermometers Non Contact Type or Infrared Thermometer • Based on the principle that all objects emit infrared energy: • “The hotter the object, the more active its molecules, and the more infrared energy is emitted” • Useful for measuring hot spots in furnaces, surface temperatures etc • Allows measurements in applications where conventional sensors can’t be employed Monitoring Equipment © UNEP 2005

  19. Thermometers Where & How It’s Used • Temperatures are generally recorded for air conditioning units, boilers, furnaces, steam systems, waste heat recovery systems and heat exchangers Monitoring Equipment • The probe or bulb has to be insterted into the fluid or gases that are to be measured Figure: Thermocouple © UNEP 2005

  20. Thermometers Precautions • The probe must be immersed in the fluid and the measurement must be taken after 1-2 minutes • The range for which the thermocouple is made for should be noted beforehand • The probe of the thermocouple should never touch the naked flame • The emissivity should be set according to the surface where the temperature is to be measured Monitoring Equipment © UNEP 2005

Speed Measurement Tachometers and Stroboscopes • A tachometer is a contact type instrument that can be used where direct access is possible • A stroboscope is a source of flashing light that can be synchronized with any fast, repetitive motion so that a rapidly moving device seems to stand still, or to move slowly Monitoring Equipment Figures: A stroboscope to the left and a tachometer to the right © UNEP 2005

  28. Speed Measurement Tachometers and Stroboscopes • Tachometers (contact type): • Used to measure the speed of rotation of a motor or pulley etc • The wheel is brought in contact with the rotating body that due to the friction obtains the same speed • Stroboscope: • This is a versatile flashing light source used to: • a) measure the speed of fast-moving objects or • b) to produce the optical effect of stopping or slowing down high-speed motion for observation, analysis, or high-speed photography Monitoring Equipment © UNEP 2005

  29. Speed Measurement Precautions • While using a contact type tachometer, care should be taken while bringing the wheel of the tachometer in contact with the rotating body • Loose clothing should never be worn while taking measurements with a tachometers • Taking measurements alone should be avoided Monitoring Equipment © UNEP 2005
