SETSCAN is a high frequencystatistical Extinction Tomography patternator developed to characterize sprays on-line.

SETSCAN Six-axis patternator

Model：SETSCAN OP-1000-6

Features

• Characterization of sprays for cone angle,asymmetry, presence of streaks and voids, and patternation number.
• Graphical user interface with point and click operation including one click calibration .
• Real time display of cone angle and asymmetry ratio .
• Planar surface area densities that are fully correlated with the local evaporation and combustion rate.
• Patternation number for standard eight pie configuration (with rotation facility to change reference angle) .
• Linear patternation number .
• Insensitivity to alignment of nozzle center.

Module configuration requirements

SETSCAN needs its own data acquisition and data analysis system (including software and hardware like PC).

Be able to communicate with the customer’s test system, including the transmission of SETSCAN test data, and the control of starting or ending the SETSCAN test.

Related communication protocol of SETSCAN equipment is required.

Calibration and calibration tools are required.
