Calorimeter

CWD EXP

CWD product series

The combustion calorimeters in the CWD series (Calorimetry, Wobbe Index, Specific Gravity) are among the most proven systems for determining gas quality and all relevant measured variables. These include

  • Calorific value and heating value

  • Wobbe index

  • Specific density

  • CARI and air requirement

The CWD EXP is a variant specially developed for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. The device combines robust safety technology with maximum measuring precision and is ideal for industrial applications in which gases with potentially explosive properties are processed, burned or monitored.

Typical areas of application for the CWD EXP include

  • Flare gas combustion

  • Control and monitoring of gas turbines

  • Fuel control in refineries

  • Process control in petrochemical plants

Wherever the gas composition varies and maximum safety is required, the CWD EXP provides reliable, continuous and precise measurement data. Thanks to the proven combustion calorimetry, the system offers excellent detection of the gas quality – regardless of whether it is standard gases, process gases or difficult residual gas flows.

The CWD EXP thus combines explosion-proof design, many years of technological experience and stable real-time measurement to create an ideal measuring system for energy-intensive, critical and highly safety-relevant industrial processes.
