Key Features
- The instrument is designed with the latest Oxygen Bomb, Solid Sate Refrigeration System, Automatic Water Measurement and Dosing, Auto-adjustment of Water Temperature. The operators job is limited to putting the sample-filled Oxygen Bomb, charged with Oxygen into the instrument. The instrument is programmed to take over the operation thereafter. After the experiment is over, the experiment over signal is indicated & the results calculated automatically.
- All the processes in the experiment are automatic after the charged Combustion Bomb is kept inside the instrument. There is no need to manually Measure Water, adjust water Temperature etc, thereby reducing operator workload and the errors associated with the same.
- Removable Bucket design is also available as an option.
- Operator time less than one minute.
- The Combustion Bomb is thick walled, halogen, corrosion and acids resistant.
- The instrument can be configured with either built in LCD Display (Touch Screen Optional), Computer or both. This provides the user with the display of their choice of other displays and interfacing ports are also available.
- Correction for Acid, or Nitrogen, Fuse-wire, Sulphur, Moisture, Spiking, Ash and Hydrogen etc are available in the software.
- Multiple Operating Modes gives additional choice to user to choose the program and method (Isoperibol, Dynamic, & Manual, High Precision Mode Predictive Mode, Regnault-Pfaundler) best suited to his application.
- A high accuracy automatic water Measuring and Dosing System is used to measure the quantity of water in the Calorimeter Vessel. It has a repeatability of 0.5g ensuring the water dosing is accurate and reliable.
- A high-efficiency stirrer ensures that the water in the inner calorimeter vessel is maintained uniformly throughout the experiment.
- The instruments feature a Solid-State water refrigeration system. The system automatically determines the cooling requirement and adjusts the circulation system accordingly. The required water temperature is thereby maintained for repeated experiments.
- Specially designed Auto-stop and Auto-drain valves ensure leakage proof Jacketed System.
- Window based easy to use software which can further be linked to Digital Weighing Scale for auto weight transfer.

FAQs of Automatic Bomb Calorimeter IP 3:
Q: How is calibration performed on the Automatic Bomb Calorimeter IP 3?
A: Calibration is conducted using the standard benzoic acid method, which ensures high accuracy and consistency in test results. This standard procedure is recognized internationally and aligns with compliance standards required for fuel analysis laboratories.
Q: What safety measures are incorporated in this calorimeter during operation?
A: The calorimeter is equipped with a pressure release safety valve to prevent overpressure incidents, ensuring user safety. Its robust stainless steel construction and integrated water jacket cooling provide added operational security and thermal stability.
Q: When should I use the internal memory feature?
A: Internal memory is ideal for scenarios where frequent testing occurs, as it stores up to 100 recent test results automatically. This supports efficient workflow by allowing easy retrieval and review of past tests without the immediate need for external data transfer.
Q: Where can the Automatic Bomb Calorimeter IP 3 be effectively utilized?
A: This instrument is designed for laboratory environments in industries such as petroleum, coal, biomass, and fuel research, as well as quality control departments. Its bench-top design is well-suited for research and academic labs that require reliable calorific measurement.
Q: What is the process for conducting a calorimetric test with this device?
A: Place a single specimen (up to 2 gm) into the stainless steel vessel, fill with oxygen up to 30 atm, and initiate the fully automated cycle. The machine manages ignition, measurement, temperature corrections, and data logging autonomously, presenting test results on its LCD display and storing them internally or exporting to PC as needed.
Q: How does the integrated cooling system benefit overall testing accuracy?
A: The integrated water jacket cooling system maintains a stable temperature environment during each test, minimizing thermal fluctuations that could affect calorific value measurements. This stability supports the systems high accuracy of 0.2% and consistent results across testing cycles.
Q: What are the advantages of having PC connectivity via USB/RS232 for this instrument?
A: PC connectivity allows for streamlined data export, storage, and further statistical analysis. It eliminates manual recording errors and facilitates quick reporting and integration into digital laboratory information management systems (LIMS).
