Which gas does a Fyrite analyzer measure the amounts of in flue gases?

The Fyrite analyzer is designed specifically to measure the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in flue gases. These measurements are crucial for assessing combustion efficiency and ensuring that fuel is being burned appropriately in various systems. By evaluating the concentrations of oxygen and carbon dioxide, engineers and operators can determine whether the combustion process is optimized or if adjustments need to be made to improve efficiency and reduce emissions.

Measuring only carbon monoxide would not provide a complete picture of combustion performance as it does not account for oxygen levels or carbon dioxide production, which are essential for understanding the overall efficiency and emissions of the combustion process. Other gases listed in the options, such as nitrogen, argon, methane, and sulfur dioxide, play different roles in combustion and atmospheric analysis, but they are not the focus of the Fyrite analyzer. The analyzer's primary function is to help ensure that combustion systems are running safely and efficiently by providing precise readings of oxygen and carbon dioxide levels.
