The benefits of using an oxygen analyzer
It’s been said that oxygen is the most important thing in combustion, and the most important thing in life. To be more precise, oxygen is a component of air (a gaseous medium), and it is a basic component of life. Oxygen is essential for all living beings, including humans. It’s used to power reactions such as photosynthesis, or to maintain human health and well-being. Oxygen analyzers measure the amount of oxygen present in a given environment.
Oxygen analyzers are used in two main ways:
1) They are used to measure either stack gas or inert gas (i.e., from a combustion engine). Stack gas analyzers measure the amount of oxygen found within the exhaust stream after combustion. Inert gas analyzers measure the amount of carbon monoxide in the exhaust gas after combustion.
2) They are used to monitor air quality and environmental pollution levels by monitoring concentrations of various gases in air samples from different points within a given area.
The following table helps explain these two uses:
Oxygen analyzers have numerous functions but they are more popular as air quality sensors than as industrial equipment because they are not very expensive and can be easily integrated into almost every industrial process with few changes to its design. However, there are some drawbacks associated with them that must be considered when choosing an oxygen analyzer for your application:
Air quality sensors usually use both stack gas and inert gas which can cause problems if you want them to work well on one type of material only while they won’t work on another type (for example, you may have to install an inert-gas detector on one side but not another). Another drawback is that some oxygen sensors can only measure ambient levels of dissolved gases such as CO2 or NOx which may not be suitable for your particular application (for example, if you are running a chemical plant). Another problem with using only stack-gas monitors is that it is impossible to use one over another because there would be no way to differentiate between them as they both produce similar results.
