In the realm of evaluating and certifying the anti-knock properties of motor fuels, the CFR® F1/F2 Octane Rating Unit stands out as a beacon of excellence. Since the introduction of the first CFR octane rating engines in 1929, CFR has consistently been at the forefront of fuel testing, evolving its product line to empower fuel producers and engine manufacturers worldwide.
Setting the Standard: CFR F1/F2 Octane Rating Engines
The CFR F1/F2 octane rating engines have become the benchmark for testing fuels according to various international standards, including ASTM D2699, ASTM D2700, IP 236, and IP 237. These engines play a crucial role in determining the Research Octane Number and Motor Octane Number of spark-ignition engine fuel, establishing CFR as a global standard for fuel testing.
Confidence in a Fully Integrated Fuel Testing System
A complete CFR Engines Inc. octane fuel testing system comprises four meticulously designed components: the Engine Air Control System, the F1/F2 octane rating engine, XCP™ Technology, and a CFR® exhaust surge tank. These components work seamlessly together, controlling every critical parameter of an octane test. Whether you choose a complete unit, an upgrade/conversion kit, or a genuine CFR service part, rest assured that the product has undergone rigorous testing to function as an integrated solution for your operations.
With trust in the CFR octane rating system, users can focus less on system mechanics and more on the bigger picture.
Data Integrity with XCP Technology
The XCP Digital Control Panel takes data integrity to a new level, automatically capturing crucial information for each rating and presenting it in a user-friendly Excel-based report. This reduces the risk of manual recording errors. The standard XCP report includes KI values, Octane Numbers, environmental data, and KI vs. fuel level curves. Furthermore, the XCP seamlessly integrates into a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), ensuring that test data is captured and processed without question.
Reliability of Proven Design
With a legacy dating back to 1929, CFR Engines Inc. products have been a bedrock of reliability for thousands of users. This trustworthiness has endured thanks to continuous system upgrades and product enhancements. Components such as the robust engine crankcase and cylinder/head are engineered for unparalleled operating life. With routine maintenance, CFR octane rating engines are more than capable of meeting the rigorous demands of today’s fuel testing environment, delivering a true engine-based Octane Number.
Precision through Modern Instrument Control
The CFR F1/F2 Octane Rating Unit, equipped with XCP Technology, employs digital instrumentation to record and process critical aspects of system operation and performance. On-board barometric pressure adjustments, increased automation, a broad octane meter range, and precise control of engine intake air enhance overall precision, making measurements more accurate and dependable.
Cost Savings with One System Flexibility
A CFR F1/F2 Octane Rating System offers unmatched flexibility and cost savings. With simple component changes and push-button control, users can effortlessly switch between any of the four test procedures outlined in ASTM Methods D2699 or D2700. This versatility translates into resource optimization, faster test transitions, reduced operator training, and enhanced repeatability – all from a single system.
