How is the new PCA®3 Portable Combustion Analyzer different than the PCA®2?
While the PCA®3 is based on the same technology and platform of the PCA®2, the improvements are striking. To highlight a few of the new features:
i. Full-color graphic display with bright backlighting for superior visibility
ii. B-Smart® Sensors with the option of B-Smart® Sensor Exchange Program
iii. Dimming mode saves battery life (nearly doubles the life of AA batteries)
iv. Sturdy metal gas and draft connectors add durability in the field
v. Company upload capability & ability to tag customer data to records
vi. Internal battery back-up saves data for 5-7 years even if AA batteries die
vii. Improved IrDA transmission to wireless printer
The Bacharach PCA®3 is the perfect tool for service technicians and boiler contractors who need to ensure safe operating conditions, determine combustion efficiency and perform emissions testing. This lightweight handheld combustion and emissions analyzer directly measures and displays Flue Gas Oxygen (O2), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Stack Temperature, Draft, Differential Pressure, Combustion Air Temperature and optionally measures and displays Nitric Oxide (NO), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) and Sulfur Dioxide (SO2). The PCA®3 simultaneously calculates and displays Combustion Efficiency (EFF), Excess Air (EA), Carbon Dioxide (CO2), NOx and Oxygen reference values. Plus, the PCA®3 performs combustion calculations for ten different fuels and uses up to six field-upgradable electrochemical sensors. With its large, bright full-color graphic display reading combustion and emissions test results in any work environment has never been easier!
