Calorimeter from IKA: C 200 auto

The semi-automated oxygen combustion calorimeter C 200 determines the gross calorific value of liquid and solid samples. So far it has mainly been used for teaching and training purposes at technical schools and universities. Due to the automated water handling it is now also suitable for industrial laboratories with low nuber af analyses.

The C 200 auto package allows operating the C 200 with a completely automated water cycle. This results in ease of handling and saves valuable time, especially for laboratories with a low number of analyses. The water circulates in a closed loop and is kept at a constant temperature by using a recirculating chiller. This leads to shorter preparation time for each experiment and even better reproducible results.

Four different operation modes enable the user to control the measuring times according to individual requirements:

• Isoperibol: approx. 17 min.
• Dynamic: approx. 8 min.
• Manual: approx. 17 min. (depends on the operator)
• Time controlled: approx. 14 min.

Measurements are possible according to e.g. DIN 51900, ISO 1928, ASTM D4809, ASTM D5865, ASTM D1989, ASTM D5468, and ASTM E711.

The optional software C 6040 CalWin controls the unit and monitors the measurement of the samples. Additionally, collected data can be exported to e.g. Excel, Word, SQL and LIMS for further analysis. It is possible to operate several calorimeters with one PC (not included with CalWin)
