Four Types of Heat Flow Sensors
The DSC600 offers four types of heat flow sensor platforms: standard testing type, high-sensitivity type (for biopharmaceutical materials), corrosion-resistant type (for corrosive samples), and energetic materials type (for chemical reactions). These sensors meet the requirements of different application scenarios and sample types.
Precision Temperature Control
The system utilizes circumferential heating technology and a proprietary dual-PID control system to ensure exact adherence to programmed temperature curves during heating/cooling processes. With a temperature control accuracy of ±0.01°C, it effectively minimizes thermal fluctuations that could compromise experimental results.
Ultralight Mineral Furnace
The silver-constructed furnace body delivers exceptional thermal conductivity and stability, ensuring precise temperature control and rapid thermal response. The pure silver material effectively minimizes heat loss while enhancing analytical efficiency, achieving uniform heating/cooling across samples. Its superior corrosion resistance extends instrument service life, accommodating diverse experimental environments.
Automatic Gas Switching Control
The multi-channel gas inlet device enables automatic gas switching during experiments. This integrated unit combines four or six gas lines into a single module to meet the demands of frequent gas changes across different testing procedures.
Gas Preheating Function
The furnace incorporates heated gas lines at the inlet ports, enabling gas preheating before entering the sample chamber. This design stabilizes experimental conditions and enhances testing efficiency.
Three High-Efficiency Cooling Systems
The DSC 600 is equipped with three high-efficiency cooling systems, offering versatile refrigeration options: water bath cooling, mechanical refrigeration, and liquid nitrogen cooling.
The water bath cooling system regulates furnace temperatures from 10°C to 600°C, ideal for scenarios not requiring cryogenic conditions, such as polymer melting point and crystallization temperature analysis. The mechanical refrigeration system covers a temperature range of -90°C to 450°C, widely used in polymer material analysis, including glass transition studies, crystallization kinetics research, and conventional low-temperature testing applications.
The liquid nitrogen cooling system utilizes the endothermic properties of evaporating liquid nitrogen for rapid cooling, with a furnace temperature range of -150°C to 600°C. It is primarily employed for ultra-low temperature research, such as metal alloy phase transitions, superconducting material analysis, and rapid quenching experiments, including amorphous material preparation and fast cooling process studies.
