1.2. Main features
•Screen
Back-lighted TFT 3.5'' colour screen. It allows to display measured parameters in a more comfortable format for the operator. Thanks to the zoom
function with directional arrows), you can view on the screen the measured values in increased characters.
•Printer
The paper of the instrument is a thermal paper with a 10-year guarantee. Printer has an easy replacement system of the paper Easyload). In
addition, printing is fast.
•Battery charger
The instrument is supplied with a 6 V, 1.5 A power adapter to load the internal batteries. The current loading is indicated by a battery symbol on the
top left of the screen. The red LED on the right side of the gas analyser stays on until the battery loading is completed. The battery charging time is
10 hours. The voltage of the power supply is 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. The number of cycles of the battery is about 500 charging cycles.
•Flue gas suction um
The pump, inside the gas analyser, is a diaphragm pump with a motor. It is energized in direct current directly by the instrument in a way to get an
optimal suction of flues gases. The pump is regulated by a continuous measurement of the output flow by the pressure sensor n°3.
•Flue gas robe
Probe in stainless steel with an over-moulded handle in plastic, with a standard length of 30 cm and with a fixing cone to maintain the contact tip in
the duct. Interchangeable, it has a LED allowing to light the dark areas. The probe is connected to the instrument by a neoprene tube of 2.50 m.
The handle is also equipped with a filter that keeps the solid particles of flue gases during the combustion analysis.
•Interchangeable measurement sensors
The analyser uses electrochemical sensors to measure the oxygen and the carbon monoxide compensated in H2 hydrogen). Measurement sensors
are interchangeable. Recharge regularly the battery to guarantee an optimal operating of the electrochemical sensors.
•Tem erature sensors
Flue gas temperature is measured with a thermocouple integrated in the contact tip. The connection to the analyser is made thanks to a single male
connector compensated in temperature. K thermocouple nickel-nickel chromium) allows continuous measurements up to 1250 °C.
The instrument has a NTC thermoresistance for the measurement of internal temperature; this sensor is also used for the measurement of ambient
temperature.
If a temperature control of the combustive air must be performed directly by the supply duct room sealed boiler), a Pt100 temperature probe ref :
SPA 150 SP) will be used. It is recommended to perform this measurement to make the efficiency calculation of the installation more accurately.
•Pressure sensors
The analyser has 3 piezoelectric internal sensors for the measurement:
1 – of the differential pressure Delta P) with manual auto-zero
2 – of the high accuracy draft with auto-zero by solenoid valve
3 – of the pump output flow with a regulation which allows to compensate a clogging of the filter or a high draft. This sensor allows to perform the
tightness test of the analyser.
•Su ly in ut of flue gases and +/- ressure
The analyser has a single connector allowing the connection of flue gas probe.
•Combustibles ty es
The analyser is supplied with a memorisation of technical data which characterises the 15 most known combustibles. It is also possible to add 5
combustibles and their corresponding features.
•Calibration certificate
The analyser is calibrated by comparison with standard of metrology laboratories, which are periodically certified closed to laboratories known at the
international level. Each analyser is supplied with its calibration certificate in which, for every parameters, are indicated the nominal value, the one
measured, the admitted error limits and the found error.
•Conformity and standards
The analyser complies with n°2004/108/EC directive on electromagnetic compatibility. Document available on request. It also complies with
2006/95/EC Low Voltage, 2011/65/EU RoHS II and 2012/19/WEE directives.
Moreover, the analyser complies with EN 50379-1 and 50379-2 standards. except NO2 and SO2 sensors).
•Water tra
The water trap is integrated to the KIGAZ 310. Measured gases go through the probe filter then through the water trap which recovers the liquid
element and, as a result, protects the sensors.
Condensates are evacuated by the opening of the plug located on the bottom on the instrument.
When the maximum level is reached, a red LED lights and the pump stops. It allows to warn the user when the water trap must be emptied.
Introduction 9

The resence of a water tra with a filter can, in some cases, cause the solubility of some gases in water during a flue gas
analysis.
•Customers management
The analyser allows to record customers, theirs respective boilers and inspections. Once the features of customers and boilers are completed in the
analyser, the operator can easily assign the different measured values to a customer and his boiler. These data can then printed and/or transferred
to a computer thanks to LIGAZ-2 software.
•Auto-zero
The analyser has the “auto-zero in the duct” function, it means that the operator can perform measurements draft, temperature...) while the analyser
inhales fresh air in the room. This function allows to save time on the inspection locations.
•CO dilution
The instrument has the CO dilution function that allows to avoid high CO concentrations. These high concentrations can damage the analyser and
its sensors. This function allows to increase the CO concentration without damage the sensor. In dilution function, the range becomes 0-5% 50 000
ppm). The dilution can also be activated during a flue gas analysis by pressing the OK key of the instrument.
•O acity index measurement (o tional)
It is possible to fill in the analyser with opacity index values measured according to the Bacharach scale. The analyser will calculate the average and
results will be printed on the ticket. This measurement must be performed with an opacity pump which is available as an accessory ref: PMO).
•Gas network leak testing (o tional)
It is possible to check the tightness of an installation. For this control, use the pressure sensor used for the differential pressure measurement ref:
KEG).
•Gas flow
It is possible to measure the gas flow of an installation, to compare it with a theoretical gas flow and as a result to estimate the installation
consumption.
•Measured values
- O2: percentage of oxygen in flue gases
- CO: concentration of CO in flue gases
- NO: concentration of NO in flue gases
- NO2: concentration of NO2 in flue gases
- SO2: concentration of SO2 in flue gases
- Tf: flue gases temperature
- Ta: combustive air temperature
•Calculated values
- λ: Air Excess : connection between the volume of combustive air and the requested volume necessary for a combustion in
stoichiometric conditions.
- CO2: percentage of carbon dioxide in flue gases.
- ΔT: difference between the flue gases temperature and the combustive air temperature.
- NOx: concentration of NOx in flue gases calculated with the NO sensor, or measured with the NO and NO2 sensors)
- Qs: percentage of waste heat throughout the chimney.
- ηs: Lower efficiency (or sensible): calculated burner efficiency. This is a ratio between the conventional heating power and the burner
heating power. Among the combustion losses, only the sensible heat lost with the flue gases is taken into account, neglecting the radiation
losses and incomplete combustion losses. This value is referred to LHV Lower Heating Value) and can not be higher than 100%.
The sensible efficiency value is to be compared with the minimum efficiency stated for the heating systems performances.
- ηt: Higher efficiency (or total): is the sum of sensible efficiency and the additional efficiency deriving from the recovery of water vapour
condensation contained in the flue gases. When it s greater than sensible efficiency, then condensation is taking place. It is referred to
LHV Lower Heating Value) and can exceed 100%. The LHV is calculated by an algorithm developed by Kimo and its value must be
considered as indicative.
- CO (O2): Concentration of CO in flue gases in mg/m3. It is calculated according to O2 reference value indicated in the analyser
see page 20).
- NO (O2): Concentration of NO in flue gases in mg/m3. It is calculated according to O2 reference value indicated in the analyser
see page 20).
- NOx (O2): Concentration of NOx in flue gases in mg/m3. It is calculated according to O2 reference value indicated in the analyser
see page 20)
