LabKit-rcb - Thermal Balance Reaction Calorimeter
LabKit™-rcb is a reaction calorimeter with sophisticated equipment for heat flow and thermal balance calorimetry. The automatic laboratory process plant is suitable, among other things, for syntheses in the temperature range from -40 to +200 °C. The system is expandable with the additional modules and components which are offered.
System construction
A triple-walled 2-litre reaction vessel with an evacuated outer jacket is used as a standard vessel for thermal balance calorimetry. Other vessels are possible.
The reaction vessel is temperature-controlled using a powerful heating/cooling thermostat, enabling fast temperature control for an isothermic mode of operation It is expandable using the following options:
- Vacuum
- Distilling
- Reflux
- Inerting
When distilling with reflux separators, the reflux separation ratio may be adjusted via an electrically controllable reflux separator.
Measurement method
The thermal balance method is based on a balancing of the heat transfer medium at the inlet and outlet of the vessel jacket. The temperatures and the flow of the heat transfer medium are measured.
The heat transition coefficient (kwU) is not required for the calculation. This is particularly important in the case of reactions where a coating develops on the walls, as for example, during polymerisations and dispersions.
