The ad-7 automatically performs distillation tests of petroleum products as well as narrow boiling range samples. A 10.4 inch LCD screen with touch panel has been adopted for easy and intuitive operation. The Peltier system is employed for cooling/heating of the condenser and cylinder room. The ad-7 is a CFC free system with a small footprint.

User-friendly
  • 10.4 inch colour screen is 4 times larger than the previous model
  • Intuitive operation by Touch Panel
  • Advanced data management software; tdas (Tanaka Data Acquisition System)

Versatility

  • up to 200 test modes can be recorded
  • up to 5,000 test results can be stored
  • RS-232C, USB port, Ethernet communication ports

Safety

  • Fire containment system: the heater shuts down when ultraviolet sensor detects a fire and CO2 gas flows into the heater room (if connected to CO2 line).
  • Flask Catcher reduces the risk of breaking vapour tube of flask
  • Overheat protection: heater shuts down automatically at the upper end of the temperature scale.
