Description

The Bacharach PCA®2 is a commercial grade, handheld combustion and emissions analyzer for sampling of light industrial, institutional, commercial and residential furnaces, boilers and appliances. The Bacharach PCA®2 is the perfect tool for service technicians and boiler contractors who need to ensure safe operating conditions, determine combustion efficiency, or perform emissions testing in combustion applications.

The Bacharach PCA®2 directly measures and displays:

  • Flue gas oxygen (O2)
  • Carbon monoxide (CO)
  • Stack temperature
  • Draft
  • Differential pressure
  • Combustion air temperature

Additional Bacharach PCA®2 Combustion Analyzer models are available which also measure and display:

  • Nitric oxide (NO)
  • Nitrogen dioxide (NO2)
  • Sulfur dioxide (SO2)

Simultaneously, the Bacharach PCA®2 calculates and displays combustion efficiency (EFF), excess air (EA), carbon dioxide (CO2), NOx and oxygen reference values. The Bacharach PCA®2 performs combustion calculations for ten fuels including natural gas, oil (#2, #4, #6)propane, coal, wood, kerosene, bagasse and digester gas. The Bacharach PCA®2 has a large backlit graphic display which shows eight different measurements and calculated values simultaneously. An internal memory logs up to 500 test records.

The Bacharach PCA®2 combustion analyzer ships complete with meter, IRDA printer, hard carry case, probe and hose assembly, factory calibrated sensors, protective boot, USB cable, software and manual.
