Přístroj umožňuje současně analyzovat až 19 vzorků a stanovit všechny tři parametry během jediného automatizovaného měření, čímž zvyšuje efektivitu práce i reprodukovatelnost výsledků.<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/LECO_Advancing_Biofuel_Characterization_with_LECO_Analytical_Instrumentation_31e96f1c96.jpg" alt="LECO: Pokročilá charakterizace biopaliv pomocí analytických přístrojů LECO: Systém TGA801 s keramickým otočným zásobníkem a kelímky pro stanovení obsahu těkavých látek podle ISO 18123." srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_LECO_Advancing_Biofuel_Characterization_with_LECO_Analytical_Instrumentation_31e96f1c96.jpg 235w," sizes="100vw" width="860" height="573"><h3>Porovnání s referenčními metodami podle norem ISO</h3>Pro ověření výkonu automatizovaného systému TGA801 byly provedeny srovnávací studie s mezinárodně uznávanými referenčními metodami podle norem ISO. Stanovení vlhkosti bylo porovnáno s normou ISO 18134, stanovení obsahu popela s normou ISO 18122 a stanovení těkavých látek s normou ISO 18123. Tyto normy stanovují přesné teplotní podmínky a analytické postupy, současně však umožňují využití automatizovaných systémů, pokud je prokázáno, že poskytují srovnatelné výsledkyDo porovnání byla zahrnuta široká škála materiálů, včetně dřevních pelet, rašeliny, uhlí, plastů a paliv z odpadů. Výsledky stanovení vlhkosti i obsahu popela získané systémem TGA801 vykázaly velmi vysokou shodu s referenčními metodami podle norem ISO. Tyto výsledky potvrzují, že automatizovaná termogravimetrická analýza poskytuje stejnou spolehlivost jako konvenční postupy, přičemž výrazně zvyšuje produktivitu laboratoře a snižuje nároky na manuální práci.<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/LECO_Advancing_Biofuel_Characterization_with_LECO_Analytical_Instrumentation_2_3887128788.jpg" alt="LECO: Pokročilá charakterizace biopaliv pomocí analytických přístrojů LECO: Kelímky používané při manuálním stanovení obsahu těkavých látek podle normy ISO 18123." srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_LECO_Advancing_Biofuel_Characterization_with_LECO_Analytical_Instrumentation_2_3887128788.jpg 172w," sizes="100vw" width="1264" height="1145"><h3>Korelace výsledků stanovení těkavých látek</h3>Při stanovení obsahu těkavých látek vycházejí jak metody podle norem ISO, tak metoda TGA z měření úbytku hmotnosti během stanovené doby při teplotě 900 °C. Metoda TGA však navíc zahrnuje ohřev z teploty používané při stanovení vlhkosti (přibližně 105 °C) na teplotu stanovení těkavých látek. Přestože se tedy postupy v tomto ohledu liší, dosažené výsledky vykázaly vynikající shodu.Testování provedené na dřevních peletách prokázalo silnou lineární závislost mezi výsledky získanými metodou podle normy ISO a metodou TGA s hodnotou koeficientu determinace R² přibližně 0,94. Maximální zjištěná odchylka činila pouze 1,06 %, zatímco průměrný rozdíl mezi oběma metodami dosáhl přibližně 0,1 %. Tyto výsledky potvrzují, že systém TGA801 umožňuje přesné stanovení obsahu těkavých látek u široké škály biomasy i dalších pevných paliv.<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/LECO_Advancing_Biofuel_Characterization_with_LECO_Analytical_Instrumentation_2_40f7189cef.jpg" alt="LECO: Pokročilá charakterizace biopaliv pomocí analytických přístrojů LECO: Korelace a porovnání výsledků získaných metodami podle norem ISO a analyzátorem LECO TGA801." srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_LECO_Advancing_Biofuel_Characterization_with_LECO_Analytical_Instrumentation_2_40f7189cef.jpg 172w," sizes="100vw" width="1065" height="967"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/LECO_Advancing_Biofuel_Characterization_with_LECO_Analytical_Instrumentation_1_7519e8e646.jpg" alt="LECO: Pokročilá charakterizace biopaliv pomocí analytických přístrojů LECO: Korelace a porovnání výsledků získaných metodami podle norem ISO a analyzátorem LECO TGA801." srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_LECO_Advancing_Biofuel_Characterization_with_LECO_Analytical_Instrumentation_1_7519e8e646.jpg 228w," sizes="100vw" width="1641" height="1120"><h3>Výhody automatizované analýzy biopaliv</h3><ul><li>Vysoká propustnost díky současné analýze více vzorků.</li><li>Plně automatizované pracovní postupy s minimálními nároky na obsluhu.</li><li>Integrované stanovení vlhkosti, obsahu popela a těkavých látek v jednom měření.</li><li>Vysoká reprodukovatelnost a konzistentní výsledky.</li><li>Výborná shoda s referenčními metodami podle norem ISO bez nutnosti dodatečné kalibrace.</li><li>Vyšší bezpečnost dat a efektivnější laboratorní provoz.</li><li>Vhodné pro výzkumné laboratoře, kontrolu kvality v průmyslu i certifikaci paliv.</li></ul><h3>Automatizujte svou laboratoř ještě dnes</h3>Analytické přístroje LECO představují komplexní řešení pro moderní charakterizaci biomasy a biopaliv.
