CAL2k Isothermal (Static Jacket) Bomb Calorimeter system used to determine the calorific value (energy content) of solid and liquid substances. The CAL2k bomb calorimeter is the most advanced calorimeter available, it is used in many different industries ranging from coal analsyis, animal feed research, fuel analysis, waste product incineration, by-product analysis etc.
The "dry" static jacket isothermal method has no water inside the calorimeter. An aluminum sleeve that is an integral part of the vessel replaces the bucket. The sleeve transfers the heat from the combustion process rapidly and evenly around the outside shell of the vessel. The temperature sensors are located between the combustion vessel and the sleeve. The temperature rise of the vessel is measured to determine the calorific value of the sample. The surrounding water jacket is replaced by polystyrene that is insulated from the outside environment by an aluminum box. The timing of the determination and the quality of the insulation is such that the environment has negligible effect on the determination. There are many advantages to the dry method.
