Calorimetric vessel
Digital Data Systems
The vessel is the heart of the calorimeter and features a printed circuit board containing; a microprocessor, memory, temperature sensors and other electronics, which are built into the base of the unit.
The solid-state temperature sensors are strategically placed around the outer wall of the vessel and are embedded into the aluminum ‘skin’ of the unit. The position of the sensors integrates the various temperature readings obtained from the outer surface of the stainless steel core. The way in which a sample burns causes a varying heat pattern transfer to the core.
An added benefit is that the memory of the unit is permanent, requiring no battery to retain the data.
