Carbolite-Gero Digital Ash Fusion System for Coal & Coke, 220-240 V, 1 Phase, 50/60 Hz, Verder Scientific, CAFG5-CO-230SN

Carbolite®-Gero's Digital Ash Fusion System for Coal & Coke (CO + CO2 Reducing Gas/Air Oxidizing Gas/Nitrogen Purge Gas), 220-240V, 1 Phase, 50/60Hz, CAFG5-CO-230SN — Other Models Available upon Request

The CAF G5 is designed to test ash fusibility, and optionally, the increasingly popular determination of biomass or solid recovered fuels testing and conforms to the Standards ISO 540:2008; ASTM D1857/D1857M-04 (2010); DD CEN/TS 15370-1:2006 (biomass); DD CEN/TR 15404:2010 (solids recovered fuels (SRF)).  Its automatic and continuous recording digital images frees the technician for other tasks while tests are in progress with the ability to review the results later.  This new system greatly enhances both the quality of the images and test results which increases the efficiency of the laboratory.  With maximum temperature of 1600 °C (2910 °F), this instrument is suitable for both biomass and coal testing.  Also, it can be equipped with an optional work tube integrated lighting system for testing low "initial deformation" temperature of SRF or biomass samples.

Features:

 

• New analysis software which can be used in fully automatic or manual modes
• New software zoom function to enable accurate post-test analysis of individual samples with improved resolution
• New one configurable grid assigned to each test piece
• New temperature controller program set up within the software
• New space saving embedded computer with Windows 7 Embedded Professional software runs future proof firmware
• New default software settings and individual analysis form for coal ash, biomass, and SRF
• New optional work tube integrated lighting system for testing low "initial deformation" temperature of SRF or biomass samples
• Lightweight insulation allows quick cooling permitting multiple test runs to be completed during the day
• Automated digital image capture of samples—image recording frequency adjustable from every 1 °C to ever 20 °C increments
• 1600 °C (2910 °F) tube furnace with integral SiC elements
• External link to embedded PC & Software
• Flow meters for oxidizing, reducing gas flow (dependent on requirements of method)
• 79 mm inner diameter work tube allows more than 6 samples/run
• Gas tight seal for efficient use of gases and safety
• Automatic temperature programmer with multiple PID control
• Gas inlets for reducing, oxidizing, and purging gases
• Oxidizing or reducing gas selection switch
