Which Analysers It Works With

testo easyEmission is the PC software for Testo’s industrial emissions analysers: the testo 340, testo 350, testo 350 S/M/XL and testo 335.

It adds useful functions to those analysers: configuring the instrument from the PC, managing measurement data by folder and location, importing data from and exporting it to the analyser, and running online measurements directly from the computer.

Online Measurement

The online measurement module runs up to nine flue gas measurements at the same time, with the analysers controlled from the PC and readings sent straight to it.

On the testo 350, analysers can be set up in instrument groups, which the software then controls like a single instrument. That suits multi point measurement on a large plant.

The measurement cycle is set by you. The fastest cycle depends on the analyser and connection: 1 second on the testo 335, 340 and 350, and on the testo 350 S/M/XL over USB. Over a serial connection, the testo 350 S/M/XL is 5 seconds per analyser. A fast cycle shows a combustion adjustment taking effect, rather than only the before and after values. A slower cycle lets a measurement run across a shift without creating an oversized file.

Fuels You Can Define Yourself

Combustion efficiency and flue gas loss are calculated from the fuel, not measured directly, so the fuel selected decides whether those figures are right.

The standard list covers the common fuels. Where a fuel isn’t on it, it can be added manually, which matters for blended fuels, landfill gas and biogas, and waste derived fuels. Without the right fuel, the analyser still reads the gases correctly, but the calculated values are wrong.

Managing and Sharing the Data

Measurement data is organised by folder and measuring location, so a site with several plant items stays easy to work with.

Results can be shown as a table or a graph, depending on what you’re looking for. A trend across a tuning exercise reads better as a graph, and a set of compliance figures reads better as a table.

Data exports to Microsoft Excel, which suits anyone who’d rather analyse results in a spreadsheet they already know. Measurement protocols can be set up, saved and printed from the imported data, so the report reflects your format and the client’s requirements.

System Requirements

easyEmission runs on Windows Vista, 7, 8 and 10, with other systems on request. It needs a USB 2.0 port or better, 150 MB of free hard drive space and the Microsoft .NET 4 Framework. Administrator rights are needed to install it.

A licence key unlocks the software. Without one, it runs as a demo version with limited functions for 30 days, so it can be tried before committing.

Where It’s Used

Combustion tuning and commissioning. Emissions testing and reporting. Boilers, burners and industrial heating plant. Gas engines and turbines. Power generation. Process heaters and furnaces. Multi point measurement on large plant.
