Description
Confidence in a Fully Integrated Fuel Testing System
A complete CFR Engines Inc. cetane fuel testing system includes three main elements, each designed to seamlessly integrate and deliver trusted results. With the F5 engine unit, XCP™ Technology, and a CFR® exhaust surge tank, each critical parameter of a successful cetane test is controlled. Whether working with a complete unit, an upgrade/conversion kit, or a genuine CFR service part, you can trust that the product has been designed, manufactured, and fully tested to work in an integrated solution for your operation. Confidence in the CFR system to do its job, allows users to focus less on making the system work and focus more on what else they need to do.
Data Integrity with XCP Technology
With the XCP Digital Control Panel, critical information for each rating is automatically captured and presented in a ready-to-use Excel-based report, minimizing manual data recording and calculating errors. XCP‘s standard report provides handwheel positions, fuel flow rate micrometer settings, environmental data (temperatures and pressures), and ignition advance and delay values. The XCP is also capable of being integrated into a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS). Automatic capture and processing of test data gives the accountability needed to defend ratings without challenge.
Reliability of Proven Design
Since 1929, thousands of users have relied on the proven service of CFR Engines Inc. products. This reliability has been consistently maintained through a long series of well-designed system upgrades and product enhancements. CFR systems and components, such as the robust engine crankcase and cylinder/head, are built to deliver unsurpassed operating life. With basic maintenance and upkeep, a user can expect CFR products to consistently withstand the demands of today’s fuel testing environment with a true engine-based Cetane Number.
Precision through Modern Instrument Control
The CFR F5 Cetane Rating Unit with XCP Technology uses digital instrumentation to record and process critical aspects of system operation and performance. On-board handwheel position recording, automatic cetane number calculation, and multi-pass data recording are some of the many advantages of CFR’s digital instrument control system. More accurate measurements controlled by and intuitive interface lead to better overall precision.
The CFR® F5 Cetane Rating Unit is the globally accepted standard for determining and certifying the ignition quality of diesel fuels. First introduced in 1938, the CFR F5 today continues to provide a stable, accurate testing platform for defining the ignition quality of diesel fuels. The CFR F5 enables the automotive and petroleum industries to develop new engines and fuels that perform together more effectively. As the most accurate method to measure the cetane number of diesel fuels, the CFR F5 also helps to ensure the integrity of the fuel supply chain from refinery to the pump.
