COSA XENTAUR - Model 9610 CXc -Continuous BTU Calorimeter for Gas Analysis
The 9610 CXc Continuous BTU Calorimeter by COSA XENTAUR is specifically designed for measuring the Wobbe Index, BTU/Heating Value, and Combustion Air Requirement Index (CARI) of various gas mixtures. It offers high accuracy results even under changing ambient temperatures, making it essential for industries requiring precise calorific value measurements, such as the natural gas sector. This instrument utilizes a continuous gas sample oxidation process at 800°C in the presence of a catalyst, measuring residual oxygen with a zirconia oxide cell after combustion. The 9610 CXc is able to analyze a range of gases including natural gas, refinery gases, and biogas. It provides a rapid response with full integration of hydrogen measurement capability and supports multiple output options via Modbus communication. This calorimeter is equipped with optional pumps for sample control and offers high-temperature sample systems up to 100°C. Its notable certifications ensure safety and reliability in various operational environments.Our COSA XENTAUR™ 9610 CXc™ continuous BTU Calorimeter measures Wobbe Index, BTU/Heating Value and CARI (Combustion Air Requirement Index). Key advantages of this calorimeter are its insensitivity to changes in ambient temperature, a very fast response with the ability to measure gases with BTU values down to zero and the measurement of the Combustion Air Requirement Index besides Wobbe Index and Heating Value. Using our 9610 CXc calorimeter continuous gas analyzers with expert design make BTU analysis a definitive money saving tool!

Our 9610 CXc calorimeter Wobbe Index measurement is based on the analysis of the oxygen content in the flue gas after combustion of the sample. A continuous gas sample is mixed with dry air at a precisely maintained constant ration, which depends on the BTU range of the gas to be measured. The fuel air mixture is oxidized in a combustion furnace in the presence of a catalyst at 800°C, and the oxygen concentration of the combusted sample is measured by a zirconia oxide cell.
