Test drive air analyzer

Ametek Process Instruments is offering a three-month free trial of its Thermox® WDG-IVC Combined Oxygen & Combustibles analyzers. The company hopes to show off the analyzers' reliability and speed of response to power and process boiler operators with oxygen-only, in-situ probes. Its catalytic detector displays reduced drift and increased sensitivity to low-level CO changes, while resisting SO₂.

Portable 5-gas engine exhaust analyzer

The Nova Model 7465 analyzer is designed for checking O₂, CO, CO₂, hydrocarbons and NO_X in engine exhaust emissions for gasoline, propane or natural gas powered two and four-cycle engines. A sample of exhaust gases are drawn through a flexible sample probe, hose, moisture removal system and filtered by a built-in pump. Gases are then detected on a microprocessor-based, two-channel, single-cell infrared detector.
