In order to be able to use the appliance properly and safely, every user must first read the operating instructions and observe the safety instructions contained therein. Take care of these operating instructions and keep them in a place where they can be accessed by everyone.

The C 5000 calorimeter system may only be used to determine the gross calorific value of solid and liquid materials in accordance with DIN 51900, BS 1016 T5, ISO 1928, ASTM 5468, ASTM 5865 and ASTM 4809. For this purpose, use only original IKAâ decomposition vessels C 5010 and C 5012. For further details please see the operating instructions of the decomposition vessels C 5010 and C 5012.

The maximum amount of energy input into the decomposition vessel must not ex-

ceed - (select the weight of the sample accordingly). The permissible operating pressure of EDU 0SD must not be exceeded. The maximum permissi-

ble operating temperature must not exceed ƒ&.

Do not fill the decomposition vessel too full of the sample. Only fill the decomposition vessel with oxygen up to a maximum pressure of EDU 0SD . Monitor the adjusted pressure on the pressure reducer of your oxygen supply. Perform a leakage test before every combustion (please observe the operating instructions of the decomposition vessels C 5010 and C 5012, chapter ”Leakage test”).

Many substances tend to combust in an explosive manner (for example because of

the formation of peroxide). This may cause the decomposition vessel to burst.

Substances of which the combustion behavior is not known must be examined for

their combustion behavior before combustion in the decomposition vessel C 5010 or C 5012 (danger of explosion). If you are burning XQNQRZQ VDPSOHV, leave the room or NHHS D VDIH GLVWDQFH between you and the calorimeter.

Benzoic acid must only be burned in the form of pellets! Combustible dust and powder must be compressed into pellets before combustion. Oven-dry dust and powder such as wood chips, hay, straw, etc. burn in an explosive manner! They must be moistened first! Readily combustible liquids with a low vapor pressure must not be come in direct contact with the cotton thread (for example tetramethyl dihydrogen disiloxan)!

In addition, toxic residues of combustion are possible in the form of gases, ash or precipitates on the inner wall of the decomposition vessel, for example.

When working with oxygen, observe the appropriate requirements.

Danger warning: As a compressed gas, oxygen promotes combustion, supports

combustion intensively and may react violently with combustible substances.

'R QRW XVH DQ\ RLO RU JUHDVH

Keep all gas lines and screw connections that carry oxygen free from grease. Observe the accident prevention requirements applicable to the activity and the work station.

Close the main valve on the oxygen supply when work is complete. Only carry out maintenance work when the system is depressurised.

When using crucibles made of stainless steel, their condition should be carefully checked after every experiment.

A reduction in the thickness of the material may cause the crucible to burn and may damage the decomposition vessel. For reasons of safety, crucibles must not be used any more after a maximum of 25 combustion procedures.

Caution - Magnetism! Effects of the magnetic field have to be taken into account (e.g. data storage media, cardiac pacemakers ...).

The decomposition vessels C 5010 und C 5012 are manufactured in accordance

with the regulation for pressure vessels 97/ 23/ CEE. This can be recognized from the V\PERO &( with the identifying number of the testing station named. The de-

composition vessel is a pressure device of Category III. The decomposition vessel has been subjected to an CEE prototype test. The CE-declaration of conformity represents our guarantee to you that this decomposition vessel complies with the pressure device described in the CEE prototype test certificate. The decomposition vessel has been subjected to a pressure test at a test pressure of EDU and a leak-

age test with oxygen at 30 bar.

Decomposition vessels are H[SHULPHQW DXWRFODYHV and must be tested by a SUR IHVVLRQDOO\ WUDLQHG SHUVRQ each time before they are used.

An individual application is understood here to mean a series of experiments that are performed under roughly the same conditions in terms of pressure and temperature experiment autoclaves must be operated in special chambers (C 2000, C 5000).

The decomposition vessel must be subject to repeated tests (internal tests and pressure tests) by a person with professional training. The intervals between tests must be determined by the operator based on experience, operating manner and

the material used in the decomposition vessel.

In a calorimeter, combustion processes take place under precisely defined conditions. For this purpose, the decomposition vessel is charged with a weighed in fuel sample, the fuel sample is ignited, and the increase in temperature in the calorimeter system is measured. The specific gross calorific value of the sample is calculated from:

the weight of the fuel sample

the heat capacity (C value) of the calorimeter system

the increase in temperature of the water in the inner vessel of the measurement cell

To optimize the combustion process, the decomposition vessel is filled with pure oxygen (99.95 %). The pressure of the oxygen atmosphere in the decomposition vessel is 30 bar.

The exact determination of the gross calorific value of a substance is based on the requirement that the combustion proceeds under precisely defined conditions. The applicable standards are based on the following assumptions:

The temperature of the substance to undergo combustion is 22°C before combustion.

The water contained in substance and the water formed during combustion of compounds in the substance containing hydrogen are present after combustion in liquid state.

No oxidation of atmospheric nitrogen takes place.

The gaseous products of combustion consist of oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide.

Solid ash is formed.

Often, however, the products of combustion assumed by the standards are not the only ones that are formed. In such cases, analyses must be performed on the fuel sample and the combustion products that yield data for a correction calculation. The standard gross calorific value is then determined from the measured gross calorific value and the analysis data.

The Ho gross calorific value is formed from the quotient of the quantity of heat liberated during complete combustion of a solid or liquid combustible substance and the weight of the fuel sample. In this calculation, the water formed before the combustion of compounds of the combustible substance must be present in a liquid state after the combustion.

Reference temperature 22°C

The net calorific value Hu is equal to the gross calorific value reduced by the energy of condensation of the water that was contained in the combustible substance that is formed by combustion. The net calorific value is the technically more important quantity, since only the net calorific value can be evaluated in terms of energy in all important, technical applications.

On the calculation formulas for gross and net calorific value, see Section 17 “Basic of calculations”.

&RUUHFWLRQV

During a combustion experiment, as conditioned by the system, heat is not generated only by combustion of the sample; in addition heat also arises through extraneous energy:

The extraneous energy can vary considerably in relation to the heat of combustion of the fuel sample.

,JQLWHU

The heat of combustion of the cotton thread that ignites the sample and the heat of electrical ignition would distort the measurement. This effect is taken into account in the calculation with a correction value.

&RPEXVWLRQ Substances with low inflammability and substances that do not readily undergo DLG combustion are burned together with a combustion aid. The combustion aid is first weighed and is then placed in the crucible with the sample. From the weight of the

combustion aid and a specific gross calorific value that is of course already known, it is possible to determine the amount of heat that is introduced by the combustion aid. The result of the experiment must then be corrected by that quantity of heat.

The C 14 combustible crucible can be used instead of a more traditional crucible. The combustible crucible is burned completely with no residue. When a combustible crucible is used, no additional cotton thread is required. The crucible is contacted directly by the fixed ignition wire of the decomposition vessel and is ignited.

The purity of the material of the combustible crucible prevents chemical contamination of the sample material (no blank values).

Decomposition vessel in which the combustible crucible is used must be retrofitted with an additional part (attachment C 5010.4, see accessories). The sample is weighed in into the combustible crucible normally. In most cases, no additional combustion aid is required, because the combustible crucible itself serves as a combustion aid.

Almost all substances to be analyzed contain sulfur and nitrogen. Under the conditions that prevail in calorimetric measurements, sulfur and nitrogen burn and

are reduced to SO2, SO3 and NOx. In combination with the water from combustion and moisture, sulfuric acid and nitric acid are produced in addition to heat of solution. In order to obtain the standard gross calorific value, the gross calorific value is corrected by the effect of the heat of solution.

In order to obtain a defined final state and to measure all acids quantitatively, 5 ml of distilled water is placed in the decomposition vessel before the experiment. The gasses liberated during combustion form acids with the distilled water. After the combustion, the decomposition vessel is rinsed thoroughly with distilled water to collect the precipitate that has been deposited on the inner wall of the vessel as well. The water that was placed in the decomposition vessel is combined with the rinse water to be titrated for acid content.

&RPSOHWH FRPEXVWLRQ

To determine the gross calorific value correctly, it is of fundamental significance for the sample to be burned completely. After the experiment, the crucible and all solid residues must be examined for signs of incomplete combustion.

Normally, solid combustion substances can be burned directly in powder form. Substances that burn rapidly, i.e. substances for which the combustion has the nature of an explosion (for example benzoic acid) must not be burned in loose form. These substances tend to spark, and complete combustion could therefore no longer be guaranteed. In addition, the decomposition vessel could be damaged. Such substances must be pressed into tablets before combustion (see Accessories).

Substances with low inflammability (substances with a high mineral content, lowcalorific materials) often can be burned only with the aid of combustion capsules or combustion bags (see Accessories). It is also possible to use liquid combustion aids such as paraffin oil or hydrocarbon oil.

Most liquid substances can be weighed directly into the crucible. Highly volatile substances are placed in combustion capsules (gelatin capsules ore acetobutyrate capsules, see Accessories) and are burned together with the capsules.

The igniters (cotton thread) must be completely burned as well. If unburned remainders of the igniter are left over, the experiment must be repeated or a correction must be introduced into the result through the extraneous energy.

+DORJHQV Substances with high halogen content can cause corrosion to appear on the decomposition vessel. Decomposition vessel C 5012 should be used for these purposes.

To ensure exact reproducible measurement results, the calorimeter system is calibrated after it is first placed in service, after maintenance work, after parts are replaced and at specific time intervals. During calibration, the heat capacity of the calorimeter system is re-determined.

For this purpose, a specific quantity of a reference substance is burned in the decomposition vessel under the conditions of the experiment. Since the gross calorific value of the reference substance is known, it is possible to use the increase in temperature of the calorimeter system when the reference substance is burned to calculate the heat capacity.

The reference substance for calorimetry that is recognized at an international level is benzoic acid obtained from the National Bureau of Standards (NBS-Standard Sample 39), with a guaranteed gross calorific value.

The & FRQWURO and & GXR FRQWURO calorimeter systems are used for routine determinations of the gross calorific value of solid and liquid substances. The two systems conform to all gross calorific value standards in accepted use, and are thus recognized worldwide. The extensive selection of accessories and the modular design of the systems ensure customized adaptation to laboratory tasks. During the process of an experiment, the software takes care of communication with external devices (for example analytical scale, sample rack) as well as management of samples, decomposition vessels and experiment results that eliminates mix-ups.

The two systems are distinguished by the following features:

A fully automated measurement procedure eliminates the need for timeconsuming routine tasks.

To ensure high precision in measurements, a constant ambient temperature is required for the system. The following conditions must therefore be observed at the setup location:

No exposure to direct sunlight.

No drafts (for example next to windows, doors, air conditioners).

A sufficient distance from heater blocks and other sources of heat.

Adequate circulation of air must be ensured to divert the system’s own heat.

The minimum distance between the wall and the rear side of the unit must not be less than 25 cm.

The system must not have laboratory material such as shelves, cable sleeves, ring leads, etc, built over it.

The room temperature must fall within the range of 20 – 25 °C.

The system must be set up on a horizontal surface.

To operate the system, the setup location must provide a power supply that conforms to the specifications on the rating plates of the system components, as well as a supply of oxygen (99.95% pure oxygen, quality 3.5, pressure 30 bar) with the appropriate pressure indicator. A shut-off valve for the oxygen supply must be installed. Observe the instructions on handling oxygen given in Section 1 "For your safety”.

Together with the measurement cell, the controller makes up the core of the calorimeter system.

The controller works as a central control, interface and display unit for all system components. Operating commands and experiment parameters can be entered through the control console (see the following illustration).

During a gross calorific value test, it monitors and controls all phases of the measurement process. Current system states and test data appear on the display. To ensure that the experiment proceeds with no problems, the components of the system are monitored constantly. If malfunctions arise, the display generates a message. The results of the experiment are stored together with the parameters of the experiment and can be printed out if desired.

The combustion of fuel samples takes place in the measurement cell under precisely defined conditions. When the gross calorific value is being determined, the measurement cell takes care of the following experiment conditions:

Adiabatic measurement method according to DIN 51900, ISO 1928, ASTM D240, ASTM D4809, ASTM D5865, ASTM D1989, ASTM D5468, ASTM E711

Isoperibolic measurement method according to DIN 51900, ISO 1928, ASTM D240, ASTM D4809, ASTM D5865, ASTM D1989, ASTM D5468, ASTM E711

Dynamic measurement method (same as adiabatic but shorter in time)

In order to achieve these experiment conditions, the following components are housed in the measurement cell

Inner vessel with a water jacket

Magnetic stirrer to create even distribution of heat within the inner vessel

A water system with pump, expansion container and connection for an external cooling unit

Heater and temperature controller

O2 filling and degassing device

The measurement cell receives the signals for performing the individual steps of the experiment from the controller. The controller records and monitors the experiment data and operating states that are recorded by the sensors in the measurement cell.

The following processes take place during determination of gross calorific value in the measurement cell:

The cover of the measurement cell closes automatically and the decomposition vessel with the fuel sample is immersed into the inner vessel.

Pure oxygen flows through the oxygen filling device into the decomposition vessel until the pressure preset by the user is reached (normally 30 bar).

The pump fills the inner vessel and takes care of circulation in the water system.

The magnetic stirrer keeps the water in the vessel constantly in motion so that heat is distributed evenly.

The fuel sample is electrically ignited by the ignition device.

The water in the circuit is cooled off by an external cooling unit and is then heated back up to the required temperature by the heater in the measurement cell.

After the end of the experiment, the over-pressure is allowed to escape from the decomposition vessel, the inner vessel is emptied and the cover of the measurement cell is opened. The decomposition vessel can then be removed.

The C 5002 cooling system cools the water systems of the two measurement cells. One heat exchanger takes care of the cooling required for each circuit. A compressor with a liquifier and an evaporator generates sufficient cooling output for two measurement cells of the C 5000 calorimeter system.

The ventilator takes in cool air through the bottom of the unit to draw off the heat it generates. The air escapes back out of the unit through ventilation slits in the rear wall.
