HovaCAL®

The "HovaCAL N 1464-SP" is an apparatus for the exact mixing and dilution of test gases, the evaporation of aqueous solutions and the humidification of the present gas mixture.

The requirements therefor are:

  • Total flow and moisture content variable to a maximum of 2 Nl/min, 0-100 rh%, based on a gas temperature between 25°C and 90°C,
  • gas carrier and diluation gas, like hydrogen, nitrogen, instrumental air, which is dried, dust-free and oil-free. However, these cannot be used at the same time.

Up to 9 gases can be mixed, humidified and charged with the vaporous components.

The concentrations of the gaseous components of the test gases can be set as follows:

  1. CO: 1 – 300 ppm
  2. SO2: 1- 300 ppm
  3. CH4: 1- 300 ppm
  4. CO2: 1 – 30 000 ppm
  5. NOx: 1 – 30 000 ppm
  6. Ar: 1 – 5 Vol.%
  7. O2: 1 – 5 Vol.%
  8. N2: 1 – 5 Vol.%.

The following absorbed aqueous solutions can be vaporized:

  1. NH3
  2. CH2O2.
