Description
The ACP-150 series is specifically engineered to create and sustain precise confining pressures and temperatures during studies involving porous media. This makes it especially advantageous for experimental setups like NMR, CT scans, and linear X-RAY experiments that employ composite core holders and where air baths are not applicable. The system is outfitted with a high-pressure syringe pump, a recirculation pump, a pneumatic dual valve, a fluid reservoir, and dual pressure transducers for real-time monitoring of both pore and confining pressures. The high-pressure syringe pump is responsible for generating and holding a constant pressure, while the recirculation pump ensures a constant flow within the high-temperature confining circuit. As a result, the core sample housed in the core holder is maintained at constant temperature and pressure conditions. The system also has the capability to sustain a uniform differential pressure between the pore and confining pressures. Connectivity via an Ethernet interface, coupled with specialized software, enables the ACP-150 series to be conveniently programmed for executing complex schedules for the maintenance of both pressure and temperature.
