What is the CO/CO2 ratio?
The CO / CO2 ratio, is the ratio of measured CO divided by CO2.
It gives an indication of the following:
- How good a gas sample the instrument is reading
- How clean the boiler is running
For example:
A new or clean domestic boiler will display a ratio of less than 0.004, a unit in need of cleaning 0.004 - 0.008 and a unit in need of major overhaul will show greater than 0.008.
This only shows a reading when a combustion test is being carried out.
0.0000 is displayed while in fresh air.
