New Industrial Emission Analyser Introduced

Wöhler introduces the  A 550 Industrial Emission Analyzer. The portable instrument is designed to be used in tough industrial heat processes, such as boiler and burner testing, heat processes and engine testing. This special industrial environment brings a number of major challenges for the exact measurement and analysis of the flue gas as well as for a simple handling. And the Wöhler A 550 Industrial meets them all.

The analyser is fully equipped with sensors for temperature, pressure, O2, CO, NOx and SOx. A special probe, the in-stack stainless steel sinter-filter probe, protects these high-tech sensors against heavy dust loads. Together with the battery driven Peltier cooler it is possible to measure even nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide emissions with precision and display the readings with a high resolution of 0.1 ppm. Another reason for the superior precision is the high-power pump for negative pressures up to 300 mbar which allows to take fast and representative samples. To measure flue gas velocity and flow rate the Wöhler A 550 Industrial is equipped with a dual port digital pressure sensor.

The handling of an instrument is an important topic within the context of working with boilers and burners. This point was especially taken into account when developing the analyser: On the large and brightly lit 7” color-monitor the readings can easily be read anywhere, even in an environment with difficult lighting conditions. The clear arrangement and the graphical presentation of the readings allow an excellent overview. Because of the touchscreen the individual functions can be launched as intuitively as using a smartphone. With a tap of the finger it is possible to perform a complete analysis and inspection of boilers and burners.

Weighting only 1.25 kg and equipped with magnets, the analyser can be attached to any magnetic object. This feature allows the user to work hands-free. He can run or stop measurement readings when simply holding the probe, because the probe is equipped with a start/stop button.

The Logger option allows to perform long term measurements. The user can configure the logger to the application needs, simply by entering the start date and time, the interval and the total amount of measurements. The analyser will then automatically calculate the ending date and time of the measurement. During long time measurement a peltier cooler ensures accurate readings by removing the condensate from the sample. It is battery-driven which provides more than 4 hours off-grid operation time.

Data management can comfortably be done. The built-in memory of the analyser can store up to 1,000 records. Furthermore there are a number of interfaces available to transfer data: USB, infrared and Bluetooth. The corresponding software allows to store and analyse the measured data on the PC. For documentary purposes another option is to print out the readings directly on-site.
