Heating and combustion

Heating systems typically include a boiler, furnace, or heat pump to heat water, steam, or air in a central location, such as a furnace room in a home or a mechanical room in a large building. These systems also encompass the heat distribution network, whether it’s a water circuit or a forced air system with fans and blowers.

To ensure that these heating systems operate safely and efficiently, various checks, adjustments, and measurements should be performed on heat pumps, gas-fired systems, oil systems, and solid fuel systems, both during commissioning and at regular intervals.

Key tasks include flue gas analysis, differential pressure measurement, leak detection and tightness testing, flow temperature measurement, and ambient CO measurement. Additionally, combustion analysis is critical for engines and other combustion processes that aren't designed to generate heat. It is required to monitor their gas emissions for regulatory compliance and efficiency evaluations.

As a trusted reseller, we offer a wide range of measurement instruments that support these essential tasks, ensuring that heating systems remain in top working condition.

Flue gas

Combustion-based equipment, such as boilers, furnaces, or internal combustion engines, must be carefully managed to meet environmental and energy regulations. Ensuring a well-optimized and efficient combustion process is also crucial for reducing fuel consumption over time.

Flue gas analysis with professional combustion analyzers plays a key role in improving combustion efficiency and reducing emissions by optimizing the combustion reaction and processes. Flue gases released during combustion typically contain O2, CO2, CO, NOx (oxides of nitrogen), along with other pollutant gases and soot particles. These emissions can harm the environment, negatively impact the climate, and pose serious health risks to humans.

We offer high-quality combustion analysis instruments that help you monitor and optimize combustion processes for improved efficiency, compliance, and environmental protection.

Servicing Heat Pumps

Heat pumps generate heat without combustion processes and offer higher energy efficiency than even the best condensing boilers. They operate by using a refrigerant gas that transports heat through a phase change cycle. However, most refrigerant gases can have a significant environmental impact and cost, making proper commissioning and maintenance essential for these systems.

To ensure reliable, sustainable heat and optimize the heating curve, heat pumps must be regularly checked using appropriate measurement technology during service and maintenance intervals.

An annual service is recommended for all heat pumps to maintain efficient operation, detect any refrigerant gas leaks, and optimize efficiency, ultimately reducing energy costs. We provide the necessary measurement instruments to help ensure these systems perform at their best throughout their lifespan.

Differential Pressure

When servicing residential heating systems, differential pressure measurement is a key task. This includes:

Measuring gas pressure and static pressure of the boiler
Draft pressure: Measuring pressure in the combustion chamber or exhaust stack/flue to ensure combustion gases exit the equipment safely and properly

Measuring gas flow and static gas pressure within the system is particularly important, as the burner operates best within a specified pressure range. If the pressure is outside this range, it can lead to explosive flame formation, causing malfunctions or even complete breakdowns of the heating system. Therefore, investing in a reliable, easy-to-use differential pressure measuring instrument is essential for ensuring safe and efficient operation.

We offer high-quality measurement instruments to help professionals carry out these crucial tasks with precision and ease.

Tightness Testing and Gas Leak Detection

Both heat pumps and combustion-based heating systems can experience significant issues from refrigerant and combustible gas leaks. Most refrigerants are potent greenhouse gases that can cause serious environmental damage, and some, like R32, can be explosive. Leaks of combustible gases can create safety risks, explosion hazards, and lead to wasted fuel. Therefore, it is crucial to quickly detect any leaks to allow for prompt repairs or replacements in the gas circuit.

Locating gas leaks can be challenging, making the use of fast, professional leak detectors essential. These instruments enable precise and quick detection of even the smallest leaks in the gas circuit, ensuring efficient and safe operation. We offer a wide range of high-quality leakage sniffers to meet these needs.
