1. Introduction
1.1. Description of the gas analyser
The KIGAZ 210 is a flue gas analyser with two interchangeable sensors long-life O2 and CO-H2), with additional possibility of a 3rd
sensor NO or CH4) or is a flue gas analyser with three interchangeable sensors long-life O2, CO-H2 and NO) with additional
possibility of a th sensor CH4).
Its main features are the following:
•Auto-zero in the duct
•Protection of CO sensor by solenoid valve
•Led on handle for lightning of dark areas
•External water trap
•LCD screen: 120 x 160 pixels, 50 x 67 mm
•Integrated printer
•2 thermocouple connections
•2 Go of memory
The gas analyser is supplied in a transport case in ABS or metallic (optional) with a magnetic protective cover, a differential pressure
kit, an interchangeable flue gas probe of 300 mm length with integrated draft and LED, a Li-ion battery and its charger, LIGAZ-2
software, an USB cable and a calibration certificate. A paper roll for the printer and a filter are also provided.
This analyser is designed to control parameters of flue gas in exhaust duct or heating units. It can not be used in a
permanently way and/or used as an alarm system.

1.2. Main feat res
•Screen
LCD screen, 120 x 160 pixels, 50 x 67 mm. It allows to display the measured parameters in a comfortable format for the user. With the
zoom function, the measured values can be visualised in increased characters.
.
•Printer
The printer has 10-year guarantee thermal paper. The printer has an easy replacement system of the paper (Easyload). In addition,
printing is fast.
•Batteries 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 power supply is 100-2 0 VAC, 50/60 Hz. The number of cycles of the battery is
about 500 charging cycles.
•Flue gas suction pump
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 flue gases.
•Flue gas probe
Probe in stainless steel with a handle in ABS and a standard length of 30 cm (other probes are available as option, see the technical
datasheet of accessories for KIGAZ), with a fixing cone to maintain the contact tip in the duct. Interchangeable, its LED allows to light
dark areas. It is connected to the instrument with a neoprene tube of 2.50 m.
•Interchangeable measurements sensors
The analyser uses electrochemical sensors to measure the oxygen and the carbon monoxide (compensated in H2 hydrogen). The
measurement sensors are interchangeable.
•Temperature 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 sensor
The analyser has one internal piezoelectric sensor for the measurement of the differential pressure (Delta P) with manual autozero.
•Supply input of flue gases and +/- pressure
The analyser has a single connector allowing the connection of a flue gas probe.
•Types of combustibles
The analyser is supplied with a memorization of technical data which characterize 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.
•EMC compatibility
The analyser complies with n°200 /108/EC directive on electromagnetic compatibility. Document available on request.
•Conformity
The analyser complies with the EN 50739-1 and 2 standard.
Introduction 9

•Water trap
The water trap is placed on the tube that links the flue gas probe to the KIGAZ 210. The measured gases go through the filtering
element allowing the recovery of condensates (liquid one or solid one).
The filtering element is placed 15 cm from the analyser and is divided into 2 parts:
one recovers the liquid particles.
the other contains a filter that stops the smallest particles in suspension and avoid them to reach the electro-chemical sensors
•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 location.
•Protection by solenoid valve
The analyser is equipped with the CO protection function that allows to avoid high concentrations of CO that could damage the
analyser and the sensors. The CO measurement is stopped when it exceeds 2000 ppm (default configuration of the threshold and
adjustable by the operator). All the measurements stay possible unless the CO measurement.
•Customers, boilers and inspections 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.
•Opacity index measurement optional)
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 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.
•Gas network leak testing optional)
It is possible to check the tightness of an installation. For this control, use the pressure sensor used for the differential pressure
measurement of the shaft (ref.: KEG).
•Measured values
- O2: percentage of oxygen in flue gases
- CO: concentration of CO in flue gases
- NO: concentration of NO 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 shaft.
- ηs: Lower efficiency or sensible): calculated burner efficiency. This is a ratio between the conventional heating power end
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%.
10 Introduction
For a better measurement, the water trap must be in
vertical position.
Empty and clean the mater trap after use.
Check that both ends are well
clipped to ensure a good
waterproofness
In case of water presence, do not
forget to empty it after each use
