The testo 370 high-precision infrared flue gas analyzer is an extraction based continuous measurement system used for continuous emission monitoring of gas pollutants (such as CO, NO, N2O, NO2, NH3, CH4, HCl, SO2), as well as measurement of CO2, H2O, and O2. It can also be used for continuous process control.
The testo 370 can be applied to various scenarios such as emission monitoring, source flue gas, and process monitoring. When used in management and operational emission monitoring systems, it can provide corresponding exhaust concentration monitoring for different types of fuel combustion, thermal waste treatment, combustion optimization, and process management control.
The product is widely used in power plants, waste incineration plants, refineries, cement industry, industrial waste gas, paper industry, glass manufacturing, chemical plants, and so on.The testo 370 infrared smoke analyzer consists of two enclosures
The testo 370 consists of two lightweight and compact boxes with handles, one photometer box and one air pump box. When in use, two boxes can be stacked. All interfaces are located behind the handle cover on the box.
The photometer box has a sturdy base design and is structurally separated from the photometer, electronic control part, and computer electronic part.
There are two continuously running pumps inside the pump casing, which transport measuring gas and zero gas respectively. According to the selected operating mode (measurement/blowing), the measurement gas and zero gas transfer are respectively executed by one pump. Gas connection is achieved through corresponding valves.
Measurement principle of testo 370 infrared smoke analyzer
The measurement principle of gas components is based on the specific infrared light absorption characteristics of different substances. Infrared light directly passes through the measuring gas, and as the substance absorbs a specific wavelength, the light intensity decreases, reflecting changes in concentration.
The testo 370 uses three different measurement methods for calculating gas concentration:
-
Dual wavelength measurement method
-
Gas related filtration
-
Oxygen measurement

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
Q1. What is the working principle of testo 370?
A1. There are three working principles involved in the equipment:
-Gas related filtration principle, accurately measuring interfering gases;
-Dual wavelength principle;
-Oxygen is based on the principle of zirconia
Q2. What are the advantages of high-temperature infrared?
A2. The advantages of high-temperature infrared mainly focus on two points:
-No changes were made to the atmosphere, consistent with the flue, more precise;
-Low temperature infrared pretreatment will result in a loss of 5-10 mg/m3 of SO2; High temperature infrared does not have such problems, so its accuracy is better.
Q3. What benefits can testo 370 bring to users?
A3. Able to measure more components; The atmosphere remains unchanged, with no pre-processing losses, making it more precise.
Q4. What are the advantages of testo 370 compared to Fourier transform infrared?
A4. In summary:
-Cheaper in terms of price;
-Structurally simpler than GASMET; It is also more sturdy and has lower maintenance costs in the later stage;
-Lower weight, more portable
Q5. What are the advantages of testo 370 compared to low-temperature infrared?
A5. The price of low-temperature infrared is cheap, but it cannot be compared to the testo 370, as the two are not in the same level. Germany has conducted a comparative test before, and testo 370 won completely.
-Low temperature infrared pretreatment will result in a loss of 5-10 mg/m3 of SO2; The testo 370 does not have such a problem, so the accuracy is better!
-The testo 370 has been tested for both NO and NO2, and each instrument is customized for production with a longer calibration cycle.
-The testo 370 can measure more parameters, such as NH3 and HCL, while low-temperature infrared can measure fewer parameters.
-The optical path length of testo 370 is up to 7m, while the optical path length of low-temperature infrared devices on the market is usually only 1m, so the accuracy is not at the same level.
Q6. How long can the measurement duration reach? Can continuous measurements be conducted?
A6. The original design of the device was based on online continuous measurement. Maintaining once every 3-5 months is sufficient, and it can last up to a year without any problems. It is helpful for process control and can support long-term operation.
Q7. What is the working principle of the device for measuring NH3?
A7. High temperature infrared gas related filtration principle.
Q10. Does the device have measurement functions for flow rate and smoke temperature?
A10. The measurement itself does not require pressure and temperature compensation; In addition, the measurement results have already been converted to the concentration under standard conditions; The device itself cannot measure flow rate and smoke temperature, so it cannot convert the total emissions.
Q1. Which components of the high-temperature flue gas analyzer have cross interference/absorption interference?
A11. Please refer to the compensation table (horizontal interference to vertical interference) for details; The specific interference levels can be found in the table. It should be noted that due to the optical components, the interference of each device varies.
Will the accuracy of the equipment decrease after 3.3 months?
A12. To ensure accuracy, it is necessary to ensure annual calibration and maintenance.
Is the software included with the device free of charge?
A13. Yes, it's free!
Q14. Can each device only be connected to one computer?
A14. Yes, it can only be connected to one computer for measurement at a time, and both directions are only one-to-one. But this combination is not fixed.
Q15. Is the device equipped with WiFi/Bluetooth functionality?
A15. No.
Q16. How to calibrate?
A16. Please contact our after-sales personnel for calibration!
What is the calibration frequency for Q17.H2O?
A17.一年一次。
Q18. What is the cost of using and maintaining testo 370?
A18. Possible vulnerable parts involved are:
-If the bellows pump is calculated based on a working time of 100 hours per month, its service life is about 3.5 years;
-The internal filter also needs to be replaced every two years under normal working conditions;
-The sealing ring needs to be replaced after one to two years. To ensure sealing, the sealing ring must be replaced every time it is opened.
Annual range calibration/linearity check:
-Range calibration can be performed directly if available at the customer's location.
-If it is linear, it needs to be taken back to the manufacturer for processing, which is not included in the after-sales service and requires additional payment
