22. Probe Tubing 5 COMBUSTION ANALYSIS 5 1 Overview Testing for carbon monoxide oxygen and stack temperature is very important to the overall safety and efficiency of heating equipment The following guidelines and descriptions are generic and meant to provide you with a basic understand ing of combustion testing TPI always recommends you contact the manufacturer of the device under test obtain information specific to the device and follow the procedures and safety guidelines for performing tests and affecting repairs In general for most applications flue gas samples should be taken prior to the draft diverter or any other opening that allows room air to enter the system This prevents room air from mixing with gases in the flue and diluting the test sample To ensure accurate and consistent combustion tests it is important gas and tem perature samples be taken at the same location This is easy with the TPI flue probe because the temperature sensor is an integral part of the probe Prior to taking a sample the device under test should be on and operating Putting the flue probe in the sample area prior to starting the device may cause saturation of the sensors due to the higher initial concentration of carbon monox ide that may be encountered upon start up If this happens allow your analyzer to purge in fresh air until the carbon monoxide level returns to 0 ppm and the oxy gen level returns to 20 9 This may take more than an hour
