Bill Jirik,

Choosing the right cumbustion anaylizer

Was at the AHR expo last week looking at cumbustion anaylizers as it is time to purchase a new anaylizer, we service a lot of gas fired boilers with power burners ranging from 500K btu to 10 million input, most fixed firing rate but a few modulating and I am tired of farming out burner tune ups, was looking for advice on anaylizers and perhaps a school or course I could send someone to for training on burner tuneup, THANKS

I do like my Bacharach. Easy to use and accurate.

Consider this...

Let’s face it, service is an issue that comes up (from time to time…), irregardless of manufacturer. Pretty simple really – give me a call if you want to discuss those issues!!

My suggestion is do it yourself.

I’ve torn a bunch of instruments open - pretty much there’s a circuit board, pump, two sensors and a couple of batteries…..

Really haven’t seen a lot of circuit board failures, pretty much narrows it down.

Put together a calibration rig and (with most instruments) you can pretty much do it all yourself - whenever.

In fact, I put the pump from my home blood pressure monitor into one of our instruments, increased the flow rate ten fold, that bad boy will go from 20.9% O2 to a 6.5% O2 in 4.7 seconds - the CO spikes on light off would blow you away!!!

Put the pump from the instrument into my home blood pressure monitor – the readings are a lot better now!!!

Problem with testing your own equipment

is liability you want an independent test documented in case you have a liability issue.

I feel it is ok to do some simple test to see the equipment is operating normally, but buy sending it out for service you have a document showing the equipment was calibrated and gives a bench mark on accuracy.

$250.00 plus or minus once a year is good peace of mind.

Depends....

I won't argue with that, depends on how much documentation you need.

I gotta ask though, has anybody heard of a problem with HVAC companies doing their own repairs and calibrations?

Always, the problem is companies not testing.....

Besides you can log and document calibrations, and if there is any question, you have the calibration gas, flow meters, etc, you can prove the instrument is operating within spec.

If/when they start state requirements that mandate you take an instrument to an 'authorized calibration center', then do it.
