How to Upgrade CAL2k Filling Station

This video is going to explain and show you how spiking is done. Firstly you will be shown how to prepare the two empty gelatine capsules to be weighed, capturing the weight into the calorimeter, preparing the bomb vessel, filling the vessel with oxygen, placing the vessel inside the calorimeter.

READING THE CAL3K CHASSIS NUMBER

The Chassis name and number are required to identify your chassis. However, both have nothing in common. The name can be set via the USB PC port, the number is set automatically by the factory and it is unique. Therefore, the name must be set when : - A Bluetooth adapter is used with the CAL3K system.

ACCESSING KEYBOARD COMMANDS

This is a brief operating explanation. A more detailed version will be available online from our website. The unit has various communication options which are not explained here, but can be found in the knowledge base on our website. The unit requires a PC to change the setup. At present the unit operates on the DEFAULT parameter setting.

ACCESSING SAMPLE & GROUP ID

The sample ID is a 16 character (or shorter) string of characters on the CAL3K Oxygen Calorimeter used to identify a sample determination. The last character will be automatically incremented at each firing. That is to say that a 5 is incremented to 6, and “C” increments to “D”. If a short SID is used, followed by spaces, then the last non-space character is incremented.

ATTACHING THE FIRING COTTON

In this tutorial we will show you the correct way to attach the firing cotton to the firing wire when preparing a sample for firing in any of our CAL3K Oxygen Bomb Calorimeter Systems. The exercise is fairly simple and can be completed with or without tweezers. We prefer to use tweezers as it doesn’t affect the firing cotton and sample and it’s easier to handle the firing cotton with.

BALANCE MASS ENTRY WITH THE CAL3K-A

In this lesson we use the CAL3K-A Oxygen Bomb Calorimeter System and a Sartorius balance to automatically enter the weight of a sample into the CAL3K-A Calorimeter before a sample determination.

CAL3K ISOBATIC (DYNAMIC) PRINCIPLE

The CAL3K calorimeter uses both the isothermal and the adiabatic method, hence the term ISOBATIC. Digital Data Systems (DDS) invented the term to explain that the unit will work in both calorimetry methods. The method can be changed during the ignition phase. The actual method used depends on the operating parameters.

UNIVERSITY FOCUSED CALORIMETER SYSTEM

Measuring Calorific Value(CV) is very important and for students finding the calorific value in various samples in a quick, effortless and accurate way is needed. Students will have the ability to perform 9 samples per hour with our water-less CAL3K-U Calorimeter.

NEW LOOK MANUAL OXYGEN FILLING STATION

The station is manufactured completely in house which saves on costs and results in a reduced final price. It is light weight making it a lot easier to transport from place to place if needed. It is a lot easier to handle and safe (user-friendly). Being manufactured with different materials to those used before, makes it kinder to the environment (environmentally - friendly).

ABORT & EMERGENCY DEFLATE

The CAL3K Calorimeter has an "ABORT" function used to stop the determination in case of an emergency. To operate it from the keyboard (give it a try once you have inserted a vessel and closed the lid.) Press "Del", followed by "Esc" to Abort a Command.

Mass Entry on the CAL3K Isothermal Oxygen Bomb Calorimeter

The mass is a weight in the range of 0.2g to 1.5g. The limits can be set to suit your operation. Once it is entered it is "LOCKED" in to the present operation until it is ignited. The only way to "ERASE" the mass or "UNLOCK" it is as follows

CAL3K AIR COOLER & FEATURES

The new Air Cooler replaces the traditional expensive water cooler used with the CAL2K range of calorimeters. It uses less resources, including no water and less electricity, to operate. The air cooler works with the ambient air to cool the vessel down, ready for the next determination. Best of all, the air cooler is extremely fast and efficient and affordable when measuring heat of combustion.
