The freezing point detection system provides automated sample testing with accuracy and repeatability in accordance with ASTM D1177, D1655, D2386, D5901 and related international specification. The sample is cooled in the test chamber with constant stirring. The sophisticated dynamic measurement system emits a light pulse every 0.5°C from a coaxial fiber optic cable positioned above the test sample. The light pulse is then reflected off the mirror of the fiber optic to an optical sensor. The advanced software package analyzes the response of the light pulse. The initial appearance of crystallization is monitored by light scattering. The sample is then warmed up, and the temperature at which the hydrocarbon crystals disappear is recorded as the freezing point. All clear and transparent fuels are readily measured by the detection system, regardless of sample color.

Integrated Panel PC and Software Package – The KLA Series of
analyzers are complete standalone systems featuring an integrated
panel PC with an advanced software package. The 12” TFT/LCD touch
screen display has a resolution of 1024x768 with a 16.2 M color scheme.
All analytical parameters are graphed and displayed in real time as well
as recorded in Microsoft® Excel compatible file format. The software
monitors the operation and performance of all the analyzer components
for proper data measurement, including the solenoid valves, cooling
system, pressure sensors, and the Platinum resistance PT100 Class A
temperature probe.

Cooling System – – For various user applications, the automated freezing
point system comes standard with cooling for temperatures as low
as -95°C. The direct cooling system features integrated gas CFC free
motors compressors thus eliminating the need for a solvent cooling bath.
The direct system is capable of rapid cooling, approaching -80°C bath
temperatures in approximately 15 minutes, and utilizes less electricity
than standard cooling systems. The rapid cooling feature combined with
a consistent cooling profile system provides repeatable results with high
test reproducibility.
