1  Introduction 

 

The  Koehler  Panel  Coking  Test  Apparatus 

determines  the  tendency  of  finished  oils  to  form 
coke  (solid  decomposition  products)  when  in 
contact with surfaces at elevated temperatures for 
short periods of time. The unit consists of a digital 
control  cabinet,  mechanical  splasher,  splash 
chamber,  and  a  sample  oil  reservoir.  The  test 
panel  temperature  and  oil  sump  temperature  are 
individually  controlled  by  separate  heaters  with 
digital  temperature  controllers.  The  mechanical 
splasher  has  a  variable  speed  0-1800  RPM  drive 
motor  with  digital  tachometer.  A  high  accuracy 
variable area flow meter permits the introduction of 
air  to  increase  the  severity  of  the  test.  All  models 
are  also  equipped  with  a  digital  countdown  timer. 
Models  K50110  and  K50119  are  also  equipped 
with  an  additional  programmable  cyclic  timer  for 
customizing start and stop times of the mechanical 
splasher.  The  Panel  Coking  Test  Apparatus 
conforms to the Federal Test Method specification 
FTM 791-3462 and is suitable as a screening test 
prior to performing engine tests.  
 

This  manual  provides  important  information 

regarding  safety,  technical  reference,  installation 
requirements,  operating  condition  specifications, 
user  facility  resource  requirements,  and  operating 
instructions for the 8-Unit Oxidation Bath and Data 
Acquisition  Software.  This  manual  should  also  be 
used  in  conjunction  with  applicable  published 
laboratory  procedures.  Information  on  these 
procedures is given in section 1.2.
