What was used before FGA's ???

Anybody remember this old way to do a flue emmisions test ?

This is what was used before electronic FGA's, I saw it been used in GRANT'S 20 odd years ago, they said it was their main way of testing and they only used the new type of electronic FGA'S as a way of double checking !!!

Testing the efficiency of a boiler by spitting on the back plate:)

It was a painfull way of testing,( and still avalable ) after each ajustment you had to do the slow liquid test again rather than the continious readings from a FGA.

I knew then what to buy !

There's a man over in rathmines area that still uses it , I did the oftec course with him a few years back when I was considering dabbling in that area (before I realised oil was smelly and hard work )

Jeez lads I had one of those in the back of the car for 40 years - up until the day I retired. Never knew what it was for :eek:

Interesting development,

The Co2 Analysers used in Patient anesthetic monitoring are now so cheap as to be disposable.

Graphic displays, alarms, separate inhalation, expiration readings, etc. Then throw it in the bin when finished with!

Oil distributors will be giving them away free soon:)
