KANE 458s IAQ HVACR Flue Gas Analyser
The KANE 458s IAQ HVACR Flue Gas Analyser combines flue gas analysis, indoor air quality testing and HVACR measurement capabilities in one versatile instrument for heating and cooling professionals.
Alongside direct O₂ and CO measurement, the analyser measures indoor air quality CO₂ up to 9,999 ppm, allowing both appliance and room testing for CO and CO₂. It also supports commercial direct and flueless appliance testing, timed room migration tests and appliance sweep tests.
For HVACR work, the KANE 458s IAQ HVACR can perform air conditioning and refrigeration tests using wireless smart probes, including superheat and subcool calculations. KANE LINK connectivity, KANE LIVE integration and structured testing functions bring combustion, IAQ and HVACR testing together in one professional platform.
