Bacharach 0024-8443 - PCA 3 255 Portable Combustion Analyzer
A powerful, easy-to-use commercial/light industrial combustion analyzer
The PCA 3 is the perfect tool for busy technicians and boiler contractors who need to ensure safe operating conditions, determine combustion efficiency and perform emissions testing. Up to 4 sensors can be installed, measuring all gases simultaneously, including NOx (calculated from NO or measured from NO + NO2). Sensors can be added in the field without down time or replaced using B-Smart pre-calibrated sensors. The PCA 3 calculates values like efficiency, CO2 and CO air-free to help monitor combustion processes effectively and accurately.

The PCA 3 is designed for on-demand or semi-continuous sampling of light industrial, institutional, commercial and residential furnaces, boilers and appliances. It complies with regulations such as U.S. EPA test methods, EN 50379, CTM-030 and state/local protocols including SCAQMD. With sturdy metal gas and draft connectors, rugged construction, simple operation and quick, cost-effective maintenance, the PCA 3 is the workhorse of the industry.
The PCA 3 analyzer can directly measure and display NO, NO2 and SO2 with the installation of the appropriate sensors, and combustion efficiency calculations can be conducted for a variety of fuels. In addition, B-Smart sensor technology allows a new sensor to be installed in the field without having to calibrate the analyzer with gas before use. Other features include advanced data storage and communication, enabling the operator to store up to 500 individual combustion test records, which can later be recalled for viewing, printing, or downloading to a personal computer. In its data logging mode, the analyzer can store an additional 500 data logged records. The optional AC power adapter allows the analyzer to run for extended periods of time while data logging.
The optional sample conditioning probe is recommended when measuring NO2 and SO2 to ensure the highest degree of measurement accuracy. A probe and hose assembly with an integral thermocouple and filter/water trap connects to the bottom of the analyzer, providing the means of drawing in gas samples and for measuring stack temperature and draft.
