Tecora -Â Model IGCA -Industrial Gas Combustible Analyzer
The IGCA (Industrial Gas Combustible Analyzer) measures the quality of all combustion gases (natural gas, biogas, coke oven gas, recovery gas, etc.) by determining the following characteristics:
- Wobbe Index
- CARI Index
- High and Low heating values (HV version)
- Density (HV version)
Techical description:
The measuring principle consists in mixing a known concentration of oxygen with the combustible gas. Everything is then burned (catalytic combustion) and then sent to a zirconium oxide cell. The residual oxygen, after calculation, brings to the Wobbe index and the CARI index.
The device is divided into several parts:
- An air / gas mixer
- A catalytic combustion chamber
- A cell for measuring oxygen
A control electronics manages all the measurement and safety information and provides a continuous measurement of the CARI and Wobbe indexes. The controller also allows for automatic calibrations with calibration-related malfunction detection.
