Definition
Electronic COMBUSTION Gas Analyser
Term
Basic ECGA
Definition
Can measure O2 and CO
Can calculate CO2
Can measure ambient temp
And Flue Gas Temp
Term
Calibration of analyser
Definition
Check O2 level-s/b 20.9%+- 0/1%
(20.8-21% OK)
CO level s/b ZERO
Term
Difference between GROSS and NET
Definition
GROSS:Is based on Max c.v the gas will produce.
NET: Is based on GROSS-The latent heat of condensation for natural gas
