Technology and Design

The INCA analyzer consists of a fully integrated measurement unit where all critical components — sensors, pumps, valves, and control electronics — are mounted on a single carrier plate. Communication between modules occurs through an internal device bus, ensuring stable operation and straightforward maintenance.

Key modular elements include:

  • Sample gas supply and conditioning modules
  • Sensor modules (NDIR, electrochemical, paramagnetic, thermal conductivity)
  • Gas cooler options for condensate removal
  • Control and data processing unit with digital outputs

The modular approach allows future upgrades and replacements without redesigning the entire system — a cost-efficient solution for long-term operations.
