CO/CO2 ratio analysis

[bster]

Just received my Viper: gude to taking CO measurements and CO/CO2 ratios.

It states that different probes should be used depending on appliance type, when using FGA's. So does everyone here actually have 4 differing probes for their FGA's. Are they even available as accessories for all the FGA's on the market?

First I've heard of that. Why should different probes be required?

also what you have to remember is using a performance tester on a cast iron heat exchanger isnt allowed,see an old acops training manual.

Over egged there!! - not 4 types but 2

angled probe for O/F fires and fluless water heaters, standard for all others.

 

[chrishutt]

Why would you need an angled probe for a flueless water heater?

Or for a gas fire, for that matter? Since when was flue gas analysis carried out on gas fires?

[chrishutt]

Oh yeh, I forgot...
