UEI C157 C157KIT C157OILKIT Eagle 3X Combustion System Analyzer

The Eagle X series is a new approach in the technology used to verify performance of combustion processes which is available on the Eagle 3X (C157).

The traditional approach was to measure O2 and CO and flue temperatures, then calculate CO2, losses, efficiency etc.  This is a far superior method to wet chemical analysis or course estimation of how well the combustion process is working, but it included some drawbacks.  The electrochemical sensors have a limited life span that requires replacement.  Also they are subject to long term drift resulting in the need to recalibrate on a periodic basis.

The O2 sensor is of critical importance on a combustion analyzer.  This sensor is used to determine the CO2 level, and a key component of the calculations used to determine desired measurements.  If this sensor fails at a time when the instrument is needed, it renders the tool nearly useless.

The new Eagle X series utilizes an innovative approach to create several advantages.  We now directly measure CO2 using the EOS (Electro-Optical Sensor) technology and then calculate O2, losses, efficiency, etc.  The key benefits to this approach is that the EOS technology has a life span far in excess of five years (10 years estimated), and is not subject to long term drift. 

• No more unexpected O2 sensor failures that render the unit useless for testing
• Long Life CO sensor (five year expected life)
• Lower cost of ownership (less sensors to replace, and longer interval between replacement times)
• Direct measure of CO2, one of the main gases listed in set-up guides to verify system performance.

Long life analyzers that include both O2 and CO sensors will still need two sensors replaced, compared to the Eagle X with only one sensor.
