Item
Function / Description
Calorie detector
Detects WI
or calorific value. Generates an alarm and takes protective
actions when the burner flame goes out or abnormal combustion occurs.
Computing station (digital)
Calculates WI or calorific value. Displays selected parameters, e.g., each
differential pressure and calorific value. Adjusts zero / span and others.
Density meter
Measures density used for calculation of calorific value. Not required for
WI measurement.
Differential pressure transmitter Detects differential pressure of gas and air before and after orifice, and
converts it to an electrical signal.
Orifice assembly
Gas and air orifices housed in the constant temperature chamber.
Solenoid valve
Serves as a safety valve to shut off the sample gas flow.
Figure 3.1 Components and Functions of Model CM6G Gas Calorimeter
3.1
Air Pressure Regulating System
Refer to Figure 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4. The instrument air pressure (300 to 700 kPa) is reduced by air
set (2-1) to about 200 kPa, further reduced to about 20 kPa by the pressure reducing valve (2-2).
Then the pressure is set by needle valve (V-16) to a differential pressure of 500 Pa.
The air is controlled at 40°C in the preheater, which helps the temperature control by the orifice.
When the temperature rises above 60°C, thermostat in the preheater operates and intercepts the
power supply of the heater. This air pressure regulating section is common to all systems.
3.2
Gas Pressure Control Section
Refer to Figure 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4.The gas pressure regulating section has two different types; town
gas use and steel mill use.
