Real-Time Software with Data Logging

The updated EGAS software package includes the ability to

save & graph data in real-time in the field with a laptop, or in
a laboratory with a PC. It also allows the user to automatically
log data for an exact number of tests for a specified time
period. Communications between the Si-CA 8500 & a
computer are established either by wireless Bluetooth®
communications or USB cable. Data from the EGAS software
can be exported to other spreadsheet programs for more user
flexibility to create detailed emmissions reports. EGAS Real-Time

Built-In Thermoelectric Chiller

with Auto Condensate Drain
1 m (40'') & 1.5 m (60'')
High Temperature Probes The internal thermoelectric chiller efficiently &
quickly removes the water vapor from the flue
gas sample to prevent combustion gases from
bubbling from the gas phase into the condensate.
Sintered Filter The built-in condensate drain pump automatically
pumps the accumulated water out through the
bottom of the unit for greater convenience.
