An in-situ averaging combustion analyzer includes a housing and a probe coupled to the housing at a proximal end. The probe has a distal end configured to extend into a flue and contains a zirconia-based oxygen sensing cell proximate the distal end. Electronics are disposed in the housing and are coupled to the zirconia-based oxygen sensing cell. The electronics are configured to measure an electrical characteristic of the zirconia-based oxygen sensing cell and calculate an oxygen concentration value. An averaging conduit is disposed about the probe and has a plurality of inlets spaced at different distances from the distal end of the probe. The averaging conduit has at least one outlet positioned between the distal end and the proximal end of the probe. The electronics are configured to provide an average oxygen concentration output based on the calculated oxygen concentration value.
An in-situ averaging combustion analyzer comprising:
An averaging conduit for a zirconia-based combustion analyzer, the averaging conduit comprising:
A method of providing an average oxygen value relative to stratified flue gas in a duct, the method comprising:
