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.
