The bomb vessel is pressurized with 30Bar of pure oxygen in the initial period of the
determination.
The sample is then ignited in the firing period with electrical energy. During the main
period the vessel is heated from the combustion of the sample. The pressure of the
vessel rapidly increases with relation to the type of sample being burnt.
A bomb calorimeter basically consists of a cup (crucible) to hold the sample, deflector
plate, oxygen, a stainless steel bomb vessel , the insulating aluminium sleeve, the
electronic controller card and the ignition system connected to the outside of the
bomb for igniting the sample.
One of the CAL3K-AP features is a micro-processor in the base of the bomb vessel for
the automatic measurement of the calorific value of the sample. This unique design
ensures no energy is lost or gained in the determination cycle, increasing the
repeatable accuracy of the bomb vessel . The on-screen subject help is great way to
have subject help at every step of the calorimeter operation
Imagine having the choice of three calorimetry methods in
one calorimeter system.
The CAL3K range of calorimeters uses one, or a combination, of the following
calorimetry methods, including: Isothermal, Adiabatic and Dynamic (Experimental).
