RHADOX 7300 / 7300 Ex Gas Analyzer

RHADOX 7300 / 7300 Ex
Besides the measuring values Wobbe-Index and Air demand, the RHADOX 7300 / 7300 Ex Analyser measures Gas density and Heat value.

The determination of the Gas density is performed according to the method of Bernoulli (1730) who was using the dependency of a laminar gas stream through an orifice. Since temperature and pressure of the sample gas and the air are already levelled in the RHADOX™ mixing chamber, the ratio of the flow of both components in a second mixing chamber is used to measure the Specific Gravity. A reference measurement of ambient pressure and temperature at the location of the RHADOX™ analyser compensates the ambient influence. The result is a precise measurement of the Gas density.

The readings of Wobbe-Index and Gas density allow the calculation of the Heat value.
The RHADOX™ determines the measuring components Wobbe-Index and Air demand by measuring the residual oxygen after the oxidation. To achieve highly accurate measuring values, the parameters pressure and temperature have to be constant within low limits. By way of construction this is achieved with:

A control unit to level the pressure of the Off-gas and Air
A heat exchanger to level the temperature of the Off-gas and Air
The patented mixing chamber and the also patented method of the catalytic oxidation.
