Setaram sells the Gas Hydrates technology UNDER IFP's LICENCE (French Petroleum Industry) PA WO 2006/129018 A2
The microcalorimeter HP microDSC has three main elements:
a highly sensitive microcalorimeter, a pair of special high pressure vessels and a specific Very High Pressure Gas Panel.
The calorimeter is heated and cooled by Peltier elements. The main advantage of this design is that no refrigerating fluid (such as liquid nitrogen) is required to cool the instrument. The minimum temperature that can be reached is -45°C; the maximum is 120°C.
Ultra High Pressure Gas Panel
The pressure inside the sample cell can be controlled by means of a gas panel which can work up to 1000 bar. A pump is used for controlling the pressure inside the cell. It is possible to increase and decrease pressure and to set up some dwell periods. It is also possible to know the gas volume inside the pump and to inject a well defined quantity of gas. Valves are controlled automatically. Pressure can be regulated with an accuracy better than 1%.
The High Pressure Gas Panel has been designed to be used with the highly sensitive microcalorimeter HP micro DSC.
The High Pressure Gas Panel can also be used with other SETARAM systems :
- the innovative Sensys DSC (-120C to 830C) and its 140 l cells
- the low temperature calorimeter BT2.15 (-196 to 200) and its 3.5ml cells
- the Reaction, isothermal and scanning calorimeter C80 (ambient to 300C) with its 3.5ml cells.
