Rapidox gas analysis range
RAPIDOX 5100
Portable multigas analysis with laboratory performance
Up to six gases measured simultaneously from a heavy-duty IP66 case.
Product overview
- 7-inch full-colour touchscreen with soft menu keys
Six gases in a single measurement
The analyser combines up to six high-precision sensors, each calibrated to prevent cross-interference with the background process gas. Where the application requires it, flashback arrestors are fitted in the measuring circuit.
Configurable gases include O2, CO, CO2, O3, moisture (H2O), H2, H2S, NO, NO2, N2O, SO2, Cl2, CH4 and C2H4.
Calorific value calculated on site
With energy-containing samples such as biogas or syngas, the calorific value is derived by thermodynamic calculation and displayed and logged together with the readings.
Main features
- Modular design with a sensor combination built to order.
- Heavy-duty IP66 case: field instrument with laboratory functionality.
- Lithium battery for more than 8 h of operation (4-6 h charge).
- Continuous data logging; Excel-compatible download via USB stick.
- Integrated thermal printer for results on demand.
- Programmable alarms, multi-language interface and password protection.
Operation, applications and accessories
Two sampling modes
An optional pump (0-1 l/min) draws the sample when the source is at atmospheric pressure or below. From pressurised sources the pump is switched off and the gas flows through the analyser; flow is set by a rotary knob and shown electronically on screen.
Applications
- Biogas plants and anaerobic digestion.
- Syngas and gasification processes. 2
- Fermentation control.
- Combustion and emissions monitoring.
- Gas quality checks in industrial processes.
- Research and development.
Accessories
- Calibration kit and calibration service.
- Gas recovery bag.
- Sample probe, collapsible sample probe and probe filters.
Servicing
Periodic zero and span calibration keeps measurements reliable and repeatable; a full service through automated calibration stations is available.
