ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for measuring the combustion characteristics of a gaseous fuel. Wobbe index and calorific value are measured with a fast response time by maintaining a stoichiometric mixture in a mixer supplied with the gaseous fuel at a constant pressure together with ambient air. The pressure of ambient air is controlled by measuring the residual oxygen from combustion of the mix and employing variations in that measured value to control the ambient air supplied to the mixer. The control signal for the ambient air is proportional to the Wobbe index. A separate measurement of the oxygen in the stoichiometric mix provides a signal proportional to the calorific fuel value.
