Heating value measurement with the RGQ 5 and RGQ 3 - information about thermal energy

The calorific value measurement, carried out precisely with the RGQ 5 and RGQ 3, provides valuable information about the thermal energy released during the combustion of a fuel. The calorific value, also known as the net calorific value (Hi), describes the usable thermal energy without taking into account the condensation heat of the water vapor contained in the flue gas. Our appliances are equipped with a gas calorimeter for precise determination of the calorific value.

The stationary RGQ 5 and its compact, mobile "little brother", the RGQ 3, use the latest technology to determine the calorific value of gases such as natural gas and biogas precisely and quickly without carrying out combustion. This non-contact method offers decisive advantages over conventional methods in terms of efficiency, safety and flexibility.
High accuracy: Precise determination of usable thermal energy without condensation effects.
Versatile application: Suitable for solid, liquid and gaseous fuels in industrial processes.
Sustainable energy use: Reduces energy losses and maximizes the use of fuels.
Energy efficiency: Optimization of combustion processes through precise analysis of the fuel composition.
Reliable calculations: Use of proven methods such as the Dulong formula to determine the calorific value.
Industrial integration: Ideal for system solutions in gas measurement technology for optimizing energy systems.

Efficient and flexible measurement of the calorific value of gas

Calorific value measurement with the RGQ systems is an indispensable component for industrial applications where efficiency and safety are key. With the ability to measure the calorific value without combustion, the RGQ 5 and RGQ 3 open up new possibilities in the precise analysis of fuel gases.

While the RGQ 5 was developed for continuous operation in stationary systems, the RGQ 3 is a mobile version that enables measurements to be carried out easily at changing locations. Both systems reliably record the relevant thermodynamic properties and provide the basis for optimizing combustion processes and increasing energy efficiency.

Advantages and technical features of the RGQ series

The RGQ systems offer numerous advantages, especially for calorific value measurement:

  • Precise measurement without combustion: the devices provide accurate results while minimizing energy consumption and potential safety risks.
  • Flexibility through mobility: The RGQ 3 is ideal for temporary or off-site applications, while the RGQ 5 is optimized for permanent installations.
  • Greater energy efficiency: The precise recording of the calorific value enables optimum control of combustion processes and minimization of energy losses.

With these systems, companies can reliably analyse the calorific value of fuel gases and sustainably optimize their processes - whether in combined heat and power plants, industrial production plants or when feeding into the gas grid.
Measurement with the RGQ 5 and RGQ 3 helps to utilize the maximum thermal energy from fuels while ensuring safety and efficiency.
