Using Carbon Monoxide Analysis for Improving Industrial Lift Truck Emissions and Fuel Economy

Blanke CO Series  2500

The ideal tool for saving fuel.

The CO Series 2500 analyzer is the most user friendly and feature rich of our three analyzers. It is designed to be fast and portable with its own battery pack. Measuring carbon monoxide from 0 to 10% requires it to be turned on and a probe inserted into the truck’s exhaust pipe. A reading can be completed within 15 seconds after probe insertion. To read the next truck’s CO level, simply remove the probe from the first truck’s exhaust and repeat the test on your next truck.

The CO Series 2500 helps save fuel by providing a hard copy of CO results. This assists the technician to properly adjust the fuel handling system. Lift trucks set without a CO analyzer routinely waste 10% to 25% of their propane because of improper carburetor settings. With the CO Series 2500, a lift truck is tested at idle, cruise (governed throttle) and fully loaded. Carbon monoxide results are stored, average CO is determined and wasted propane in gallons per year is calculated based on a single shift operation. The printed page from the analyzer and the printer is shown on the right.
