WHY DDS CALORIMETERS?
DDS Calorimeters are the designers and manufacturers of the CAL2K and CAL3K range of oxygen bomb calorimeter systems. We offer next generation advanced bomb calorimeter systems with innovative technology and advanced features to suit your analytical needs.
Our calorimeter range is used to determine the calorific value of liquid and solid samples and is manufactured with various applications mind, including but not limited to : animal feed research, waste product analysis, explosives analysis, fuel and oil analysis, coal and coke analysis, food & nutrition and university research.
The DDS product range ranges from entry-level systems for low sample throughput, to advanced automatic systems that require little to no operator input. We’ve also introduced our University Package specifically designed for university applications as a cost-effective solution to your analytical requirements.
Explore OptionsCAL3K-F CALORIMETER
A flexible system for low to high throughput without compromising on accuracy and repeatability. It is used in Food/Feed Analysis, Alternative Energy, Scientific Determinations, Coal and Oil Production, research and Quality Assurance. In short : where the calorific value of a solid/liquid sample must be determined.
View ProductCAL3K-S CALORIMETER
The CAL3K-S Bomb Calorimeter is a powerful entry level system for low throughput without compromising on accuracy and repeatability. The CAL3K-S calorimeter has a compact size, low energy consumption and boasts a large list of features with an unbeatable price tag.
View ProductCAL3K-A CALORIMETER
The CAL3K-A is best suited for a production environment with shared oxygen supply (to other users) and robust handling. One external oxygen filling station can service multiple CAL3K Calorimeter Systems. The DDS Calorimeters range can be used to determine the calorific value of solid and liquid combustibles including oil, coke, volatile fuels, biomass, plastic, coal, animal feeds and food stuffs.
View ProductCAL3K-AP CALORIMETER
Our top of the range product is our fastest calorimeter in the CAL3K range. The CAL3K-AP has a sample repeat speed of 4-6 minutes per sample and can handle more than 10 samples per hour for faster throughput. The CAL3K-AP is suited for a clean and well maintained laboratory with a requirement for very fast and accurate results.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING
Prof. Dr. Emilian Mosnegutu (University of Bacau, Romania)
By using the E2K Bomb Calorimeter I could achieve a wide variety of experimental research, in this way bringing a major contribution to knowledge on the incineration of different materials (mainly solid waste). Possibility of equipment to determine the strength of incineration of different types of material it offers a versatility in use, which makes it superior to other types of equipment which currently exist on the market.
Michael Wise (International Paper in Alabama, USA)
We have been using the E2K Standard System which we purchased in May 2008. We are using the E2K to analyze wood waste samples - hardwood and pine chips, sawdust, etc. We also analyze crosstie samples which is the wood beam that is found on railroad tracks, and analyze approximately 150 samples per month. We run, on average about 150 CV's a month, and the unit is still going strong.
SAS Technology and Environment Laboratory
SAS Technology and Environment Laboratory are using their DDS Calorimeter for the analysis of hazardous waste with final disposal in incineration ovens. The determination of the Calorific Value of this type of waste is analyzed to determine the residual energy value in order to create the high calorie energy balance required for the incineration furnaces.
Makki (University of Bahrain, College of Science)
We mainly use the CAL2K Bomb Calorimeter for teaching purposes. Physical Chemistry students are using it for the determination of the heat of combustion. Two compounds are used in the experiments run by the students : Solid (Naphthalene) and Liquid (Benzene). Some of the University academic staff also use the CAL2K from time to time for research applications (for example, food stuff applications). Working on the CAL2K, our students find it easy to use, yet powerful enough. It is the ideal teaching instrument. Our students enjoy talking to CAL2K. As for me, I believe that CAL2K Bomb Calorimeter is the best machine money can buy.
