The Bacharach PCA®3 is the perfect tool for service technicians and boiler contractors who need to ensure safe operating conditions, determine combustion efficiency and perform emissions testing
Features & benefits:
- Full color, multilingual graphic display with backlighting, zoom display and dimming mode
- Sturdy metal gas and draft connectors
- Measures up to 4 gases simultaneously
- Exclusive B-Smart® field-replaceable sensors reduces downtime and calibration costs
- Ten different fuels – ability to load custom fuels
- Automatic CO over-range protection
- Measures and displays 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
NOx reading from NO+NO2 or calculated from NO only
Bacharach’s all 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. Exclusive B-Smart® plug-and-play sensor technology makes calibration as simple as pushing a button.
Powerful and easy to use!
The Bacharach PCA®3 is the perfect tool for service technicians and boiler contractors who need to ensure safe operating conditions, determine combustion efficiency and perform emissions testing. This lightweight handheld combustion and emissions analyzer directly measures and displays Flue Gas Oxygen (O2),Carbon Monoxide (CO),Stack Temperature, Draft, Differential Pressure, Combustion Air Temperature and optionally measures and displays Nitric Oxide (NO),Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) and Sulfur Dioxide (SO2). The PCA®3 simultaneously calculates and displays 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 can measure 4 gases simultaneously from a choice of up to 6 field-upgradable electrochemical sensors. With its large, vibrant color display, reading combustion and emissions test results in any work environment has never been easier!
