Calorimeter
On Line (Continuous) Calorimeter OHC-800
OHC -800 is only calorimeter in the world using dual sensors (Optical + Sonic) technology to give highly accurate continuous reading of Calorific value, Density and Wobbe index directly on display. Flameproof housing allows it to be installed in all types of location.
This instrument is Ideal for controlling combustion process where variations in fuel gas quality has to be compensated in quick response so that optimum efficiency can be achieved. This immensely helps in achieving monetary gains by saving on fuel cost.
OHC-800 is ideal for use when you want to measure quality of Natural gas. Check Calorific value in Petrochemical Industries where gas composition are not yet derived or for other gases like Blast Furnace gases, Coke Oven Gas in Steel industry or any other application where Fuel Gas is mixture of various Gases like, Methane, Ethane, Butane, Propane etc.
- Features
- Applications
- Specification
- Unique measuring principle ”Opt-Sonic calculation” is applied. This can minimize the interference effects caused by interference gases, and a high-accuracy measuring result can be obtained.
- Fast response time T90 reaction within 5 seconds.
- High repeatability +/- 0.02MJ/m3
- Wide operation temperature -20 ~ +57 degree C
- Explosion-Proof structure even for Hydrogen Exd IIB+H2 T4
- High ingress protection level IP66 / IP67
- Remarkable temperature characteristic Below 0.10MJ/m3 fluctuation for the temperature change in a day (> 20 degree C)
- Easy to switch the display among "Calorific value", "Density" and "WOBBE index" just by the button operation.
- Electric power energy
- Gas engine for ship
- Iron steel
