E2K CALORIMETER

Digital Data Systems has upgraded the e2k bomb calorimeter system. The system now has full menu control. The system can operate fully without a PC and results can be printed directly to a RS232 printer. PC and software is optional, however the system is now fully operational without software. All menu functions can be done via the calorimeter. We call the new upgraded version - Version 2. The system is middle of the range and available in a variety of system options to suit different customer options.

PC with Windows 98/2000/XP/NT4.0 Installed (Required only if running software - a PC is not required to operate the unit)

Accessories

	The Vessel The 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 (4200 psi).

	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.

	The Cooler The unit is designed to reduce the temperature of a recently fired vessel, obtained from the calorimeter, to ambient temperature in 2-3 minutes. Solid state cooling is used and the hot junction of the peltier elements is cooled by a continuous trickle of water from the main water supply.

	Air Cooler (Fan) The e2k calorimeter can be used with a Fan Air Cooler, the e2k-FAN, however this is only applicable with the minimum system option. It takes approximately 20 minutes for the e2k Fan Air Cooler to bring the vessel temperature back to ambient temperature.
