CWD BASIC
CWD product series
The CWD Basic is the ideal entry-level model in the proven CWD product series and offers reliable and precise determination of key gas quality parameters. Developed for standard industrial applications, the device combines the core technologies of the CWD series in an economical and robust system – perfect for processes that require reliable reliable measurement of calorific and heating value and Wobbe index but do not require advanced special functions.
With its compact design, robust measuring principle and fast, low-drift analysis, the CWD Basic is ideal for everyday process monitoring, gas quality control and energy optimization. Thanks to the proven CWD sensor technology, the device delivers stable long-term results and enables easy integration into existing plants and control systems.
The CWD Basic is therefore the right choice for plant operators who require a cost-efficient, industrial and permanently reliable gas analysis.
