THE ECO SYSTEM
|
|
The CalorimeterA small, desktop apparatus, in a warm buttercup yellow. It performs the temperature analysis of a sample. The operator, balance, vessel and PC interface together. Is is insulated against ambient temperature changes via an "air barrier" and polystyrene. The ambient temperature is measured. It "fires" the sample by heating the firing wire inside the vessel.
The ECO has been designed for the low volume market and is most suitable for customers running less than 8 CV samples per day. |
|
|
The VesselThe CAL2k-4 vessel is the first of its kind and is the heart of the CAL2K system. Its sophisticated design allows the temperature to be measured to five decimal places in degrees Celsius. The vessel is an intelligent (SMART) vessel with a microprocessor built into its base. The vessel is capable of : firing counts, identification, memory and reconditioning data.
The vessel is the combustion chamber. It is made of stainless steel and tested up to a pressure of 300 atmospheres (4200psi). |

|
The Filling Station
The filling station is designed to fill the vessel with oxygen to 3Mpa. The filling rate is controlled so as not to disrupt the sample in the crucible. The Filling Station is extremely easy to operate and requires minimal adjustments and maintenance. |
