CREC - GS - Optiprobes
Description
- The CREC fiber optical probes are based on the use of fiber optic sensors that consist of an emitter optical fiber and a receiver optical fiber, combined with GRIN lenses (Graded Refractive INdex Lenses).
- The CREC-GS sensor generates a focal region with high light energy density 5mm away from the probe tip. Solid particles or bubbles crossing the focal region are detected with minimum flow disturbance.
- These optiprobes have been successfully employed in downflow gas-solid reactors and dense phase fluidized beds, to characterize solid flow patterns.
Features
The CREC - GS Optiprobes can be used to:
- Measure axial particle cluster velocities, cluster sizes and solid fractions in gas - solid catalytic reactors.
- Characterize bubble flow in gas - solid fluidized beds.
- Support CPFD (Computational Particle Fluid Dynamic) numerical calculations.
