Exhaust Analysis Using 4 and 5 Gas Analyzers So far we've discussed how harmful exhaust emissions are produced during combustion. However, in addition to these harmful emissions, both carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen (O2) readings can provide additional information on what's going on inside the combustion chamber. Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Carbon dioxide, or CO2, is a desirable byproduct that is produced when the carbon from the fuel is fully oxidized during the combustion process. As a general rule, the higher the carbon dioxide reading, the more efficient the engine is operating. Therefore, air/fuel imbalances, misfires, or engine mechanical problems will cause CO2 to decrease. Remember, "ideal" combustion produces large amounts Of CO2 and H2O (water vapor).
