Abstract:
The latest generation of CFR octane rating units from CFR Engines combines the easy-to-use features of a digital control panel with the continued robust engine design that users expect from the CFR products. The CFR F1/F2 Combination Octane Rating Unit with XCP Digital Control Panel conforms to the requirements of ASTM D2699 (RON), D2700 (MON), IP 236 and IP 237.
The digital enhancements make the fuel rating process more efficient and accurate with the XCP Digital Octane Panel's automated functions and enhanced documentation capabilities. The XCP Digital Octane Panel is intuitive and user-friendly, and operators require less training to achieve proficiency. With the XCP panel, the CFR Octane engine consistent and reliable test results, accurate data recording, comprehensive report generation, and improved productivity for operators of any skill level.
XCP Features the following:
- Intuitive touch-screen panel interface making easier operation
- Built-in prompts guide the operator through the test procedures for all of the ASTM methods. User-friendly interface produces consistent and reliable test results from operator to operator
- Critical information for each rating is captured and displayed on screen with bold graphics and easy-to-read charts
- Automated calculations and data logging for enhanced traceability
- Digital knock meter displays actual knock intensity value without operator adjustment or visual interpretation of an analog meter
- Non-contact laser sensor accurately measures cylinder height and displays results on-screen, providing more accurate test conditions
- Electronic on-board barometer automatically corrects cylinder height for barometric pressure
- Environmentally friendly RTDs for improved accuracy and management of critical temperature variables
- Electronic maintenance log capturing all aspects of engine service
- On-screen reports, operations and maintenance manuals
