Cetane analyzer AFIDA

hydrocarbure numberautomated

AFIDA is a revolutionary development providing you with a fully automated way of determining Indicated Cetane Number (ICN) of diesel and diesel related fuels. The AFIDA can analyse multiple samples in sequence and selects the samples using the 36-place autosampler. Only a small sample volume of 40 ml is required per test with a short analysis time of approximately 25 minutes. The analyser uses a Constant Volume Combustion Chamber (CVCC) and incorporates a unique and patented high pressure injection system that generates fine fuel droplets similar to modern common rail injectors in most diesel engines. An ultra robust temperature controlled piezo electric injector provides rapid switching and highly repeatable fuel metering, offering you improved performance and consistency when compared with solenoid controlled injectors and pintle type nozzles. Features • Excellent correlation to ASTM D613, IP 41 and BS EN ISO 5165, BS 2000-41, ISO 5165 • Wide sample types - middle distillates, blend components, biodiesel, FAME, XTL, HVO, heating oil and Jet A1 • Suitable for use with Cetane improvers • Calibrated with industry approved PRFs over the range 35 to 85 ICN • Precise and reproducible software controlled determination of ICN • Results saved to PC or for download • Stable calibration - fixed test conditions eliminates routine temperature tuning • Low running costs, single gas supply for combustion air Direct correlation to ASTM D613 (ISO 5165) engine tests: The traditional Cetane Engine methods establish an ignition delay period for the test fuel which is referenced to a primary reference fuel scale.
