The Wobbe index plays a crucial role in industrial
gas measurement technology, especially in system solutions developed for the analysis and monitoring of fuel gases. The
RGQ 5 and
RGQ 3 are used to precisely determine and compare the quality of fuel gases such as
natural gas or mixed gas, which is of great importance in industrial applications where a constant energy supply is required. By taking into account the ratio of calorific value and density of a gas, it is possible to determine whether different gas mixtures can be used in the same combustion processes without adjustments.
In practice, the Wobbe index is measured efficiently and without time-consuming sample preparation. Both devices, RGQ 5 and RGQ 3, are designed to enable fast and accurate analysis by using state-of-the-art sensor technology and
software.
The use of these devices is essential for processes where different gas sources are used and a consistent energy output is required. They ensure an efficient and reliable energy supply and prevent potential disruptions in complex industrial gas networks.
