About Flue Gas Analysers & Kits

The majority of homes in Britain have the potential to generate and emit harmful gasses into the environment from their heating systems. A flue gas analyser allows a trained engineer to inspect the waste gasses being produced by a property of any size and correctly diagnose possible issues. Flue gasses are generated when fuel such as gas, wood, or coal is burnt; this is typically done in heating systems or industrial settings such as a power plant.

As well as providing detailed analysis of the components of flue gas, most flue gas analysers can provide additional functions of both pressure and flow meters. These versatile tools are all an engineer will require to perform most tests required of a domestic system.

We stock the leading flue gas analyser brands, including; Anton, TPI, Testo, Sauermann and Kane.

Gas Safe Register

The Gas Safe Register recommends all domestic properties have an inspection every year to insure that any gas system is operating safely and to maximum capacity.

Flue Gas Analyser - Gas Types

Flue gas analysers are capable of detecting a wide range of different gasses as well as calculating the concentrations of each element present. There are several different constituents of flue gas these can range from harmless gasses such as Nitrogen, oxygen, and water vapour. To far more hazardous chemicals such as carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, and Nitrogen oxides. All of these elements, if exposed for a prolonged period, can cause severe sickness and even death.

Flue Gas Analyser Kits

Flue gas analysers can be improved by adding more sensors for testing different gasses, along with accessory kits that include printers, additional probes, clamps and much more.

Some flue gas analyser kits include carbon monoxide detectors; these precision instruments will respond to high levels of carbon monoxide (CO). Carbon monoxide can be lethal as it restricts oxygen flow in the blood and is virtually undetectable to humans. Unfortunately, carbon monoxide can be produced by a large number of different household items including boilers, cookers, and storage heaters.

Flue Gas Analyser FAQs

What is a flue gas analyser?

A flue gas analyser is a device used by HVAC Plumbing and Heating Engineers to measure and analyse the composition of exhaust gases emitted from combustion processes, typically from boilers, furnaces, engines, or other combustion systems. Flue gas analysers provide crucial information about the efficiency of combustion, the presence of harmful pollutants, and overall environmental impact. They enable engineers to pinpoint any issues and subsequently perform necessary repairs or adjustments to the combustion device, ensuring its efficient operation in accordance with manufacturer specifications and UK regulations.

In the United Kingdom, regulations related to boiler servicing and the use of flue gas analysers primarily fall under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, which apply to gas-fired appliances, including boilers.

What are the UK regulations regarding flue gas emissions?

The UK regulations for Flue Gas emissions focus on controlling pollutants mainly from industrial and commercial sources.

Industrial facilities that have the potential to emit pollutants including flue gases into the air are required to apply for a permit under the Environmental Permitting Regulations from the Environment Agency. The Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) is a European Union directive (now incorporated into UK law) that sets emission limit values for various pollutants, including sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter, and other pollutants emitted from industrial activities. Facilities covered by the IED are required to comply with emission limit values specified in the directive.

Other regulations include the Clean Air Act which gives specific powers to local authorities to control emissons of smoke, grit, dust and fumes from industrial premises. AS well as the number of regulations the specific standards for the use of Flue Gas Analysers in the UK include 'British Standard BS 7967:2015 Guide for the use of electronic portable combustion gas analysers for the measurement of carbon monoxide in dwellings and the combustion performance of domestic gas-fired appliances'.

What gases can a flue gas analyser detect?

Flue gas analysers typically measure parameters such as oxygen (O2), carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), Nitric Oxide (NO), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and sometimes other gases or particulate matter. By analysing these components, users can optimise combustion processes for efficiency, minimise emissions of pollutants, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards.

What industries commonly use flue gas analysers?

Flue Gas Analysers play a vital role in industries such as heating, power generation, automotive, and environmental monitoring, helping to improve energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact.

What is the difference between a flue gas analyser and a combustion analyser?

In general, there isn't a big difference between a 'flue gas analyser' and a 'combustion analyser' as they are often used interchangeably to refer to devices that measure and analyse the composition of gases produced by combustion processes. However, there can be slight differences in how these terms are used depending on context and specific applications and devices.

Flue Gas Analyser: This term typically refers to a device designed specifically to analyse the composition of flue gases emitted from combustion processes, such as those from boilers, furnaces, or engines. Flue gas analysers focus on measuring parameters like oxygen (O2), carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), nitric oxide (NO) nitrogen oxides (NOx), and other combustion-related gases. They are commonly used in heating, power generation, and environmental monitoring industries.

Combustion Analyser: While similar to a flue gas analyser, a combustion analyser may have a broader scope and can refer to a device that assesses various aspects of combustion, including not only the composition of flue gases but also combustion efficiency, temperature profiles, excess air levels, and more. Combustion analysers may offer additional features such as calculating combustion efficiency, stack draft, and performing other diagnostic functions beyond basic gas analysis.

What are the benfits of using a flue gas analyser?

Flue gas analysers offer significant benefits in terms of improving combustion efficiency, ensuring regulatory compliance, enhancing safety, minimising environmental impact, and optimising equipment performance across a wide range of industries and applications.

They provide measurements of the key parameters such as oxygen (O2), carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). They ensure compliance with regulations by providing accurate measurements of emission levels to prove compliance as well as detecting faults that can then be rectified before becoming a safety or environmental hazard. This also lends to prolonging and enhancing the equipments performance allowing for proactive maintenance.

What parameters does a flue gas analyser measure?

Parameters such as oxygen (O2), carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), Nitric Oxide (NO), sulphur dioxide (SO2), and sometimes other gases or particulate matter can be measured by combustion Flue Gas analysers.
