      Q&A Gas Calorimeter OHC-800

      1. What is the OHC-800?
      • The OHC-800 is an explosion-proof gas calorimeter for continuous, real-time measurement of fuel gas calorific value

      • It uses proprietary Opt-Sonic technology (optical + sonic sensors) for highly accurate results through evaluating the calorific value of fuel gas by measuring the sound speed and the light speed passing through the fuel gas

      • It enables combustion optimisation, fuel cost reduction and energy efficiency improvement

      2. Why choose the OHC-800

      For high accuracy:

      • Similar to gas chromatography (GC) without complex maintenance

      • Complies with OIML R140 Class A for natural gas and hydrogen-mixed gas measurement

      For continuous measurement and rapid response:

      • It measures calorific value (CV), Wobbe index and gas density simultaneously, updates every 0.25 seconds, T90 in less than 5 seconds. It responds to sudden changes in calorific value

      For low running cost:

      • Almost maintenance-free and neglectable operating cost, no consumables, minimal reference gas

      For various measurement of gas types:

      • This gas calorimeter can measure Natural gas, Hydrogen, Steel gases (COG, BFG, LDG), LPG, Natural gas with Hydrogen, Flare gas, Methane, Natural gas with LPG, Boil-off gas, E-methane, Renewable natural gas, Off-gas from refinery, Butane, Biogas, Methanation gas, Biogas with LPG, Low calorie gases

      3. Where to apply the calorimeter OHC-800?
      • With its robust design with IP66/67 protection, it’s suited even for harsh industrial environments

      • Ideal for energy companies and various industries such as steel, glass, food and marine
