Accelerating Rate Calorimeters can be used for the thermal analysis of solid or liquid chemicals or for gas/liquid, liquid/liquid, gas/solid, and liquid/solid mixtures. They can also be used for process simulation of batch and semi-batch reactions, fire exposures, emergency relief venting, and physical properties measurement.
Fastest Tracking Rate: More reliable data and a wider range of application due to the fastest tracking rate up to 200 K/min
VariPhi technology: Patented VariPhi technology can realize low phi test even with a small and safe sample size.
Accelerating rate calorimetry has been the cornerstone of chemical process safety for the last 30 years. These cases require measuring both the amount of heat released (thermodynamics) and the rate at which it is released (kinetics). This can cause significant increase in sample pressure. The combination of temperature and pressure rise can lead to an explosion. Therefore, adiabatic calorimeters are generally designed to be much more robust than many other types of calorimeters.
Method
The Accelerating Rate Calorimeter 305 (ARC® 305) simultaneously measures temperature and pressure.
Gaseous reaction products may be analyzed at the end of an experiment to help identify and understand the reaction mechanisms involved.
A single experiment provides data for use in the following:
Thermal Hazard Evaluation
Pressure Hazard Evaluation
Thermokinetic Analysis
User safety is a key objective in the design of model 305. The user is protected by a series of safety systems that are completely independent of the control system.
